Surely a mistake? The car retails for approx 21,000 pounds in the UK, convert that to RM and its about 110K. Don’t know where FHM got their price from, though the do say “…way more exotic than its RM100K starting price suggests”.

Paul/Danny?

Nice car overall, auto or manual,

I saw two, yes 2, Hyundai Genesis Coupe on the roads in Hanoi in May 2009 last year when I was there on a holiday. Wondering if this is coming to Malaysia soon? And I want the manual option, PLEASE..!!

Did you know that if you go to http://www.peugeot.co.uk and spec up the 3008 THP156 to the same trim level we get in Malaysia it comes up to GBP21,330? And even then it’s specced with a manual as compared to the 6 speed auto we’re getting. With the same specs, and additional 6 speed auto, the 3008 is selling for about RM140k here.

The RCZ THP156 GT (high trim version) is GBP 22,750. RM150k isn’t impossible unless nasim wants to shoot itself in the foot like the 308GT. Heck, when I spec up the 308GT to the same level we have in Malaysia it comes up to GBP21,000. And they managed to price it at RM160k way back when the GBP was way stronger than the RM…

Rear mirror look weird and ugly. Any explanation on that mirror? is it the new design for car?

Didn’t mean to irk you. Thanks for pointing out. Anyway, its just done accidentally. I do understand that every writer are entitled to their own opinion…that is why they can come biased like I said..I respect Danny’s comment though. And also apologized for the criticism. You can call me stupid, childish or whatever as you wish. But all I did was just to try out submitting a comment not realizing that I accidentally submitted the content. That is just purely not intended to.

Especially to you, I’m just not a Pug lover or whatever. Just purely my first unfiltered view. Sorry for the lousy grammar, English or whatever that doesn’t meet your eyes in my comment.

If the price is less than 150k, I will surely grab one!

Please….

Fast hatchback yes, drag machine at almost 7 seconds to the century marker?

You wont feel your manhood feeling compromized driving the Eclipse. Expecially the older fire breathing turbo awd versions…..

Which ever the case, I don;t expect the price to dip anythere below 200k.

The 308GT/ (or next GTi) does already undercut its german rival a fair bit…and this is another vehicle class to boot. One is a “sporty” car, the rest are Hatchbacks with very economical roots.

Wonder why no one compares these to the SLK, TT and then see how that price, even at 250k sounds like a steal. (maybe one can draw the same parallel to the TT = Golf in sexy clothing)

The other problem that we here face is, importers typically only bring in the top models. We typicaly don’t see the lower end trims.

The RCZ doesn’t have an “economy” model cheapning its image. Its a bespoke model…unlike the Golf, Focus, etc. We don’t have cheap Golfs here so all we see/know is the GTI.

What we have here are posters of limited exposure …although I don’t blame them for being ill-informed. Its just how it is here.

And kimi, yes, that’s Danny sitting at the back seat.

German cars are at the top of the premium food chain (not to be confused with exotics, please).

JAN-APR 2010, Toyota 27,888, Honda 14,005, Nissan 10,115, Mitsubishi 3946, Suzuki 2184, Benz 1523, BMW 1242, Mazda 1180, Ford 711, Peugeot 712, VW 359, Audi 234,Lexus 168, Volvo 191.

Peugeot may not be ‘the best’ for a lot of people but the sales figures tells us that they’re working hard to put more lions on the road. Basically Peugeot is offering an easy entry into European motoring, at Japanese prices.

It happened to me quite a few times… then I wonder why people don’t understand it like I did.. Actually I was the one that read (understand) it wrongly.. LOL
