Just look how far the Koreans have advance.

Kia Cee'd at World car Fan





Ahead of its planned unveiling at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, Kia has released further details and images of the all-new 5-door Cee'd hatchback. It follows two previous releases that originally revealed the exterior design.
The new C-segment model features what is described as a premium interior. Kia stylists have gone for a cockpit-style driver-oriented design, with a number of controls integrated into the steering wheel such as air conditioning and audio controls. We also get a look at the touch screen panel that is mounted in the middle of the center console.
The Kia Cee'd will only be launched in Europe, it rides on the same platform as the Hyundai i30 and has a number of exterior features including Kia's tiger nosed grille, sweeping roofline, integral rear spoiler and LED infused headlamps.

Although use same platform as i30, but it looks better than the i30, IMO.

It also looks a bit like the Peoguet 308.

Yes these days Koreans have been leap and bounce over the Japanese competitor in terms of outlook design. They probably engage western designer to make it look good. But the engine and drivetrain department is still the same as 10 years ago. Although I noticed through time, the Korean re-write the engine specs. But a test drive will reveal that those numbers on engine specs are doubtful.

Some Korean car makers had been fined for making false claims on engine power (over-rating) in the USA over the last 20 years.

Quality wise I don't think they beat their Japanese counterparts, not to imply that Korean cars are bad.

Because of their futuristic looks ( Japanese are real drappy in this area), the Koreans definitely gains popularity. That is why their pricing is now close to Japanese cars and sometimes even exceeds. But in the re-sale market or export market, you see the difference. Japanese still command the respect.

In Dubai, i bought a 2nd hand toyota camry, you know why? Lower depreciation .....this is after much survey and talking to the locals. Nice koreans but high depreciation compared to japanese if buy brand new, i wonder why because the cars there are not expensive to start with.........depreciation in 1 year is lower than 1 month pay of month........

And I cannot show people that company car is a korean.......no matter how nice the exterior / interior is........camry is the choice for daily company car. What would be your choice?
