QUOTE(mostwanted82 @ May 11 2017, 02:33 PM) Here you go [attachmentid=8806360] [attachmentid=8806363] looks like no safety systems like the Ioniq visible from the first picture as there is nothing under the rear view mirror. This means no autonomous braking, no lane assist. If it did come with all the safety features like the Ioniq along with the 1.6T, then this would be the must have car. *I may be wrong, so we'll need to check the actual specifications. From the pictures from Paulina Tan the car seems to have blind spot monitoring. This post has been edited by FCRS: May 11 2017, 05:27 PM

QUOTE(mostwanted82 @ May 11 2017, 06:08 PM) Yeah, if it comes with all safety features like ioniq then it is a must have car. For me, hopefully it at least come with Android Auto HUD, and blind spot detection, then already better than civic The main problem is the price. If the indication price of 135K is correct then I do not think it will sell at all. Just look at the Ford Focus as an example, priced at 139K with blind spot detection, rear traffic alert, more HP and torque, auto parking, not CVT and DCT, it still doesn't sell well at all albeit it is an overall better car. Unless they have significant discounts (like the Focus which I bought in the end) then it's not going to win over any hearts. If they price at 120K then it will start to make a difference. Hopefully Hyundai are smart enough to release the car at the right price.

QUOTE(peace_lover @ May 12 2017, 10:00 AM) initial selling price is one thing, after sales service is another important point. if reliability is there and spare parts are easy to find, service technician is knowledgeable and helpful, then ppl will have confident owning the car and when more ppl buying it then RV will increase. right now in Malaysia, ppl still buy T & H, T is because of the after sales service which is the top according to J.D. Power 2016 Malaysia Customer Service Index (CSI) Study even though their car are quite kosong in terms of features, true or not owners to tell. H I am not sure, heard a lot of complains about the service centre now but still sell like hot cake maybe due to RV that has been building for years. The problem with the new Elantra is that if they do price the turbo at RM135K, even if it's the fastest most reliable car with the best service, most buyers will turn to T & H because of the future resale value. I think it's mostly the resale value that everyone seems to care about, and also the price of the car. This is one thing that infuriates my every time someone justifies buying T & H. I always ask how long do you expect to keep the car? The answer is always quite a long time, 5-8 years. If money is always an issue the buy P1 or P2 because it's cheaper, the future monetary loss will not be as large in the future even if the RV is terrible.
