If you ask any Malaysian how they feel about proton, you probably get the same answer. If we “got money” we wont buy Proton either.

For my knowledge, Kia is under Hyundai group; and so the Kia and Hyundai car actually is the same while they share the same engine, platform and most of the standard parts (example Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson).
I may agree Kia aim for budget ppl but not agree that the Kia cars have low quality than Hyundai cars.

By the way, we must know that P2 also assembly the car from Daihatsu like Kembara from Terious, old Kancil from Mira, Kenari from Move and etc..even Myvi from Boon with facelift..
SO, there is no wrong that Naza assembly Kia car and having minor changes on it too!!!!!!!!

There is really nothign wrong with Hyundai and Kia. Both are the same company, just targeted at slightly market demographics. Kia may not be worst off as shown that they can have the Kia Rio almost 2 years before the redesigned Accent (on which it shares its platform and more of the running gear is based on).

After all you dont hear about people complaining about thier Chevolet..which are all mostly Daewoos and a Vauxhall.

Its good that Naza is bringing in these cars. more choices for consumers are never a bad thing.

“.. I met one Korean playing golf in Malaysia. He told me if got money don’t buy Kia cars, but take Hyundai coz Kia is for budjet ppl and they dont have good quality stuff inside.. while Hyundai in Korea is top line local vehicle. The more you pay, the better it gets.. this is what he told me..”

If you ask any Malaysian how they feel about proton, you probably get the same answer. If we “got money” we wont buy Proton either.

but still the Korean propose Hyundai, it is diferent, Proton is not a car, Hyundai, Kia different category.
