New Cars For 2012 And Beyond

[saakura]

I too read them, pls keep it going, thanks.

The old threads I've ran never got much traction, so not sure if I'll do it again. The latest update to the 2011 thread is still pretty much on the money though.. not many changes to that..

Your wrong, l and others read them.

Anyone know the latest on when the new Ford Escape will be available?

[ignis]

All new 2013/14 Mazda 3 looks better and in keeping with the other Mazda range.. 3, 6 and CX range 5, 7, 9

[frankold]

Very similar to the new A-Class?

[eaustev]

Noticed the reports this morning saying that Chev will introduce the Spin here in the second half of next year. Apparently a competitor for the Avanza.

Another option for those with miniature families.

The Newspaper we cannot mention, say this will be in Thai showrooms early 2014..

^ I just looked and didn't find the article. That is very disappointing if true, as I was hoping to have that new Ford Escape available next year.

Oh, that is the Ecosport, smaller than the New Escape. Thanks for spotting it.

Whatever happened to a new Vios being produced ? . .

Don't follow Toyota much, each new model appear to get more ugly..

Seam to remember reading the All new Vios will come in 2014, in Thailand on the road late 2013., but not 100% sure.

Ecosport is Fiesta based, new Escape/Kuga is Focus based. My understanding is that the old Escape was based on the 626 platform.

Yes, exactly, and the new Escape has been getting rave reviews in America, a lot because of the high tech gadgetry it has, but I'm curious to know if that stuff will make it to the Thai versions.

probably just the wheels

Actually to be fair Ford seem to be providing far more goodies ,air bags etc than other manufacturers (Japanese)

Yeah, I think you're right about only the wheels. My wife wants the car to park itself like the Focus and likes the magic rear liftgate putting your foot under if both hands are full. Sounds like she will still be scraping the wheels and have to put the bags down if those gadgets don't make it to us.

Does anyone have any info on the Civic 2013 model? It was posted on another thread that the Civic 2013 will have a minor change when released in the second-half of 2013. Is this confirmed for Thailand? Any idea what the minor change could be?

I know the new Civic 2012 has been released - and it looks a like City....

Civic 2013 is no minor change...nice

Should await the 2013 Accord - a right beauty;

but here ya go:

Also on the above site........... Looks good.......... Thailand 2013 really ?

and the Coupe

[frankold]

No. Just the sedan as usual I think.

[ignis]

Yes would have thought so, but looking on UK Spy Shot the grill/spot lights is different, made me wonder,

Just need the Estate/wagon here..

Remember when i arrived, No No hatch backs never , Thais would not buy them, Honda did try with the Jazz, now how many Hatch are there on the roads.!! So why would a Thai not buy a Estate ?

Mazda:

2013: New Mazda 2

Is that a minor change or a typo? From what I gather around the web, there will be a new mazda 3 soon but nothing about a new mazda 2.

New Mazda 3 is already out....isn't it... The hatch looks a bit hairdresser.. the old one looked more purposeful.

The smiley-face design language is being completely replaced by the newer 'Kodo" styling as used on the CX-5... Note that while the Mazda2 has only been in Thailand since late 2009, the current gen is actually 5 years old now..

The 3 will likely get Kodo'd in 2015...

[mogandave]

When will we see the first special editions/minor change on the D-Max? I hate the current color of the leather seats

This "all new mazda 3" was a minor change wasn't it?

I was speaking about the next model

http://www.caradvice.com.au/196878/2013-mazda3-renderings-leaked/

"A Mazda source revealed at the recent motor show that the new Mazda3 will debut in 2013, just four years after the current model launched."

But I didn't see anything about a next gen mazda 2...

[ignis]

But I didn't see anything about a next gen mazda 2...

Forget where but read that the all new Mazda 3 is end of 2013, Mazda 2 2014, and Mazda 1 maybe will be made in Thailand or Asia

Look good.......

[IMHO]

Whatever happened to a new Vios being produced ? . .

The next gen VIOS has been undergoing final validation for a few weeks now, and is expected to launch in Q2 2013.

Timeframes for TH will be different - we will get the new 2 first, with the new 3 following 12-18 months afterwards. Haven't heard anything concrete to suggest the 1 is under consideration for TH....

^ ^ The new Vios sedan looks ok . . . not as radically changed as I thought it could be. The Yaris hatchback is the same one that came out here in America recently: I think the hatchback looks cool.
