"Our" Note is much better looking than Jazz, since no more tax free for hybrid Jazz hybrid gone case, even u dare to bring in ix20 also no match to N brand note.
U give 101 excuses don't dare to bring in Accent, U bunch is greedy trying to max profit, Rio 1.6 can price like our Almera what, u greedy bunch wanna sell Cerato at 15K more than Forte, later bring underpowered 1.4 Rio still dare to priced at Forte EX price, now no turning back, that why lah cannot brings in Rio sedan 1.6.
140K for Caren u MMT keep it to collect dust lah ...lol
Common sense, under new P1 protection, if a car has better tech than Inspira like having dual VVT, 6AT gearbox automatic have to priced higher. Heard they wanted to come up with CKD Jazz petrol which will enjoy cheap price at RM80k range. It's still using old tech therefore can be priced lower.
For Hyundai, there's already Elantra 1.6 at RM98k, if they brought in Accent 1.6, they have to price it at least RM90k bottomline.
For Kia, the Cerato is at RM102k, if they brought in Rio 1.6, it'll be priced at least RM90k bottomline.
Carens at RM140k can actually sell. It comes with new GDI engine in Australia. Since the i40 has downgraded injector to suit RON95, then expect newer Hyundai-Kia upcoming batches to have GDI engines like Mazda.

Nu engine 1999cc (81 x 97)

NASA might need to rethink and get this in. Those who have budget around RM150k, this would be ideal more car like 7-seater for them. It won't be competitor to Starex which is large MPV with boxy style which serves different purpose.
