Kwasaki Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Yeah it certainly looks like big changes as the decisions of battery vehicles come into play. I still have my petrol guzzling 900cc plastic rocket so it don't bother me let the next and younger generations deal with it is how I think. ???????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katipo Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Peugeot have taken over the Chevy factory it seems. They are now selling the 3008 and 5008 SUV's. The rather desirable 3008 starts at a little over 1.5m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was surprised at this turn of events too. Even if it's just 2 SUV's they are selling now, the Thai market could do with the freshness that Peugeot are bringing to the stale Thai market. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Yinn Posted August 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2020 Chev car/pickup is rubbish. Chev have terrible service, long time fix simple job. Famous for terrible. I think problem is USA manager stupid. Nissan quite good. Good service. Japan manager clever. Japan is number one foreign companys in Thailand. UK car, eg Jaguar, MG look good, expensive. But broken easy. Is rubbish. Benz, BMW, Audi expensive same, but good quality/strong. Toyota best car, easy, cheap and strong. Mitsu best air condition. Honda quite good. ThaiRung so so. Thailand start to make EV. Will be good. thailand number 1 in SEA. Win again. Thailand has been a stronghold for automobile manufacturing for decades. It nicknamed itself "the Detroit of Asia," and the moniker stuck, with good reason. It's currently the 12th most industrious auto manufacturer in the world, and the largest in Southeast Asia. Japanese makers like Toyota and Mitsubishi have had operations in Thailand since the 1960s. GM, Ford, Mercedes and BMW all followed.

I totally agree, it would be good news if Peugot distribute their cars in Thailand more widely, Peugot make some fantastic cars. Much better than most Toyota cars.
