Blackyv Turbocharged February 19, 2012 Share February 19, 2012 BM does not want that . I think more like Toyota won't allow that... Since Toyota build altis and vios in their Thailand plant, i'm sure they would want it to supply to this region instead of jdm model.. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenonWhite 1st Gear February 19, 2012 Share February 19, 2012 . I think more like Toyota won't allow that... Since Toyota build altis and vios in their Thailand plant, i'm sure they would want it to supply to this region instead of jdm model.. i doubt its Toyota won't allow that... Its basically AD who would perfer to source a cheap car (Thai made) to sell at high price (market price for B&B cars) to maximise the profits.. Imagine if its cost is more expensive (Jap made) and still have to sell at market price for B&B, the profit margin would thus be much cheaper.. The very reasons why most manufacturer shift their production to Thailand, China so as to max out the profit margins.. There might be some conspiracy as to why Thai made Jap Badge cars still have such high OMV as Thai baht is not really that high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nzy Twincharged February 19, 2012 Share February 19, 2012 and why? The OMV will be higher. So they'll earn less or have to increase the price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caddilac Neutral Newbie February 27, 2012 Share February 27, 2012 Kia Cerato, Hyundai Elantra or Chevrolet Cruze will beat this car hands down. Almera is one segment lower yet more expensive than Forte and Cruze. Yet you have to make do with the 4spd AT. Can't justify the pricing at all.

Can't justify the pricing at all. Where's the question of justifying price? I can't get past its fugly looks. KIA spanks this cars fat rear end silly with their designs. Only Mazda designers among the Japs are in touch with current times. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
