GoodCar 4th Gear August 9, 2010 Share August 9, 2010 Hopefully to get one soon. I am doing one to one exchange :- trade in old one. I used to travel NSH, also like u lah, balik kompung, that is why I take 2.0L with IL6V a very deep consideration. I spend almost seven hours each time, when traveling in the NSH. My previous cars did not give a comfortable ride. But i also worried that 2.0L seen a waste here, i means cant perform to the maximum. ha ha ha Ah CAT, This one not IL6V, it is In-Line 6......it is more balance naturally than V6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pisces69 6th Gear August 9, 2010 Share August 9, 2010 And they pass the saving to consumer, not like Thaiyota =========== BM banking on their long standing reputation with Toyota so can charge high also pple wil buy. But the feedback I get is the Thai Toyota is nowhere near the quality of the Jap Toyota. Once pple start to realize this, BM wil have to drop their prices. But Sporeans very slow to realize this.

RelaxLah Clutched August 9, 2010 Share August 9, 2010 ============== The Epica we get in SG is assembled in Thailand. Same with Optra, Aveo & Cruse. Not sure about the others, but my epica chassis and engine number prefix are all Korea.. This 2010 facelifted Epica wo the accessories of the previous 2009 model c/w with a downside of only @2.5k difference in OMV (15k+ vs 17k+)..interestingly,the OMV difference with Thai made Camry is @11k+ but the Camry selling price is @20k+ more than the epica..so i took d epica as with d current coe d depreciation is similar w my old 2003 1.6 ride otherwise if anything higher, i wd get burnt!

Captiva from Aussie..d diesel epica is IL4 not IL6 but with a better torque than petrol epica..strangely our diesel tax is very punitive to own a diesel car..

Vivienshoshanna Clutched August 11, 2010 Share August 11, 2010 Just test driven this evening the 2L and 2.5L. I have not driven a made in Korea car for a few years now and i am surprise how far it has come along in terms of build quality, engine and design. Having test driven the Camry recently, I must say the new Epica is not too far behind in terms of comfort. The inline 6 engine is sweet and reminds me of the GM family cars in the US of A. Me wife also likes it and we are seriously considering. Only major concern is whether this new Epica will become the new target from our local taxi company. Ha ha.... from your description, it looks like that this car is awesome.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinceng Turbocharged October 9, 2010 Share October 9, 2010 (edited) Epica 2.0 advertised for $88.9K in today's papers. Great deal at $30k cheaper than the Thai asembled Japanese makes. Epica is V6 and 6 speed compared to Camry 4 cylinder 4 speed. Edited October 9, 2010 by Vinceng ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
