Regarding your question over Elantra thread, I've mentioned the answers several times. Korean marketing went off track plus offensive strategies from my friend have driven people away from whatever Korean cars that are sold. I believe you have seen yourself, not just Elantra, you don't see Ioniq, Cerato, etc bearing new 2017 plates.

At the other hand, the new Tiguan that was launched recently, you should have seen few on the roads driven by real owners alone or ferrying family members around. This tells the dumb failed Korean marketing staff that people still buy cars. The more expensive over rm100k Tiguan, Subaru XV, Forrester still get buyers despite economic slowdown. Wonder who are they kidding when their meeting report said downturn time, people only buy B segment below rm90k ?

As per both sides Korean marketing staff, both are now accusing each other of bringing down Korean cars. Since Cerato 2.0L and Elantra 2.0L are priced at rm120k before throwing similar high discount in price war, which will you buy?

Elantra 2.0L nu engine tuned for torque
Output 152ps@6200rpm
Torque 192Nm@4000rpm

Cerato 2.0L nu engine tuned for power
Output 161ps@6500rpm
Torque 194Nm@4800rpm

Surprise that I have been referred. You don't have to convince me on how bad the sales of Hyundai in Malaysia, it's a fact that everyone know. But it won't deter me from buying a Hyundai or Kia (only price will whistling.gif ). I enjoy my car being rare.
