QUOTE(SKYjack @ Mar 13 2022, 11:36 AM) KIA Malaysia seems extremely slow in bringing Kia new models to Malaysia. Its almost as if KIA is using Malaysia as a dumping ground for out going models. A market to clear old inventory! Took a decade for the K5GT to appear in Malaysia. I was a potential customer, however lost interest & turned to other brand. The new K5GT is superb! Is KIA Malaysia going to repeat? The biggest challenge is that the new distributor need to have CKD program for the price to be competitive. If they bring is as CBU like Hyundai Sonata, the price will shoot above the roof. But then again, for CKD to be viable, there has to be volume, but looking at Malaysian market, majority buyers still go for Japs. Naza, the previous distributor was able to bring in Kia Optima under Semi KD program to lower the tax, but the new government no longer recognizes semi KD, hence the abrupt discontinuation of the model.

Went to send my K3 2013 to polish and coat and planning to do an expensive tint. Wanted to delay spending this money to get the K5 but from the looks of it,im going to be stuck with my k3 for the next 5 years.
Sigh... Anyone got any positive rumor if the k5 is coming? I really love the car
