These vehicles gulp a lot of our subsidised petrol, that includes 4 x 4s, those twin cabs etc, Indirectly Malaysians are subsidising these people using these vehicles.

At least ! Americans begin making cars we can like a little, late’s better than never. But I think we’ll still prefer Japanese SUVs…

why always go against korean car? they are almost at par compared to japanese car. some model are way much better. dunno why m’sian mentality is like this. always try to generalize things up. when i watch foreign series/movies, i can see numerous korean models out there. i saw a lot also in s’pore. also i saw like 100 of hyundai yesterday [konvoi - s'porean plates] on their way down from cameron highland yesterday. they are all ‘blind’ or tasteless compared to m’sians? also the sales figure for korean cars is skyrocketing around the world. numbers dont lie, son……

this car? well designed! especially the interior. i’m not buying anyway, dont like suv.

benunited,

Me too like the looks of the Murano. No doubt it is a very good looking SUV (in my opinion), but the ugly exhaust pipe keep me shy away.

very nice… good to see quality-looking suvs like this… I agree with you Paul, nowadays Daewoo designs are much improved and are among the best of the Korean makes… hope to see this on our roads

S3X? Sounds like the car is roomy enough for some extensive activity at the back seats!

Actually,

See Fu, what I’m trying to say is….anything is nicer than the Outlander….Hahaha!

Spec wise, Porsche Cayenne Turbo would be the best, methinks. After all, it did achieve a faster lap time around a race track than it’s smaller brother, the 911.

Seems like a great first attempt. I wonder if it is because of their experience of once owning SsangYong or is it because of the GM connection. I also wonder where they had the money to come up with this project. Not to mention building a new diesel engine (the V6 is almost sure to be from Holden, dunno about the 2.4L)… This from a company with plans to lay off 30000 staff… Maybe GM is actually intending of shifting their entire european and asia-pacific R&D to south korea…

oh well, cant wait to actually see it though…
till then…. final judgement reserved.

carb arr!!

The looks is subjective lah! I don’t like US car engine and handling lah.
This SX3 doesn’t come with AWD and power is lower than Outlander. For me, I’m still prefer OUTLANDER. Check the specifications first I think you will agreed with me.

YAU MOU GAU….CHOR!!

Marmitecrab — Fri, 25 Nov 2005 07:28:47 +0000

See Fu,

Much nicer than your Outlander!!!

Also the Hyundai you spotted is the Santa Fe replacement and not a new model. You can check out the Santa Fe from a Hyundai dealer or if they don’t have the actual unit, they would most likely have the posters. The design getting a bit old already but it was a big hit when it was launched in the US a few years back.

Just what the world needs, another SUV!

SUVs are muck. They provide about the same room as a MPV, but without the comfort levels, and economy. They offer the height of a off-roader, but don’t actually work well off-road. They offer power and performance of a executive car (and price of one) but without the handling and refinement. They are less safe for the rest of the road users, harder to park, use more fuel that they need to, take longer to stop and are basically ugly and block the view for those in normal cars.

The real worry is that they seem to be getting more popular despite rising oil prices, and less space on the roads. Proof (as if any was needed) that people don’t make car purchase decisions by applying logic!
