Alamak, why only 2 airbags?

But it didn't mention whether this is for the high spec or low spec version. As I know, the high spec version is selling better than the low spec version. Same with Forte EX and Inspira 1.8M, plenty of discounts. Thanks to this sort of market feedback, it's no wonder that SD decided to bring in a high spec Elantra fully loaded and charge a premium for it. When faced with a high spec and low spec variant, majority will opt for the high spec variant because even if the difference was 8-10k, once you spread it out in a loan it won't be that big a difference.

It was merely tongue-in-cheek, but the moral of the mad story was that as what cybermaster said, reputation takes years to build. If this coming Elantra was a successor to a highly successful model, which sadly it's not, people won't forget Hyundai's and Kia's past disasters and would really think more than twice before signing a new loan for another Korean car. And as Msian car buyers are very price sensitive, especially involving prices in excess of RM70k (where most non-national brands reside), demand for Korean cars is still largely quite elastic.

For Hyundai (and Kia with the high pricing on the Optima), most people here are of the opinion that it's still too soon to sharpen the blade. Maybe in a few more years when the current Forte, Sonata, new Elantra and Optima have proven themselves to be resistant to ridiculous price slashing and expensive repairs, i.e., held up to the test of time, then only can they safely bring on the sharpest blades. It's just too plain cocky to expect Msian car buyers to suddenly flock over to a Korean marque based on the flavour of the month.

Maybe this is what HDSM meant by "C-segment car at C-segment price"!!!

More expensive than 1.8 Civic!!!
