Many things are expensive or valueable to me, the problem is, I cannot afford. WHY? So I don't blame the products being expensive, I blame I don't have that wealth to buy all these... We all read about who owns what car, what plane, what property/ land... The point is we can only envy others. So just tell everyone what I think, car prices, oil prices and what ever prices will never be cheaper anyway. Complaint doesn't help. So why not we find ways to earn more money, more wealth and contribute back to community? (as if I'm doing it) It is so sad, Malaysian always look at the price factor, no matters what's the products... doesn't this sounds like a third world country. okay, i stop here. maybe someone what to comment about my comments :) i think the problems here is not the car. the problem also not the price. the problem is malaysian cannot afford to BUY.

Hyundai cars are good enough for USs... why not Malaysia? Just that the pricing here is too high... quality wise... nah... far more better than those who think they cant trust Korean cars.. just sometimes the design is strange...

I think imported cars are still somewhat overpriced on our shores. You're right indeed, Paul. I think imported cars are still somewhat overpriced on our shores.

Five of their models is listed in top three. Plus Kia (their sub) that becomes six! Also hyundai is the third least problematic car one notch higher ranking than toyota. somehow here in msia, people still think that p1 has better quality..... i experience those lots of times where people say they will not buy korean cars because lack of quality etc etc and they buy p1 instead.
