IMHO Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Perhaps the Only American comment comes from the stub nosed look of their trucks,the big FORD logo for example is not generally liked here by Thais.What id love here is the old El Camino. American cars are great - big HP with a soft ride. Who needs to turn corners fast in TH? Give me straight line speed with good comfort... All the EU big HP cars are unliveable in TH roads. Is this a outbreak of Aopola? Well, I'm not exactly sure what that means, but if you say so But, for example, I'd much prefer to drive a V8 Mustang convertible on Thai roads, than say a BMW M3 cabrio. Yeah the M3 owns it around any corner, but the BMW driver would be off to the dentist a whole lot more often than the Mustang driver, in TH Comfort with power on demand is what works for me best. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkjames Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 What, he takes the vehicle from Thailand to Australia to be serviced ? Does he fly it there or puts it in a sea container ? That's just plain ridiculous and typical of an AOP comment. Besides the huge cost of shipping the car to Australia and back (why not take it to Malaysia, plenty of Hyundais there) just for a service, there would be plenty of local mechanics who could perform the task in Thailand. What the hell do you think they do on an average service, overhaul the engine? They do an oil change and not much more. Loads in Savanakhet so would be a lot cheaper to drive to Laos Amazing selection there..a couple weeks back sitting in a coffee shop what drives by?

sandyf Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 The main reason that would prevent me from buying most Hyundais is the styling - that example you show is proof that the cars are just plain ugly! That said, that people mover van thingy is kinda nice . . . Thais do buy imported cars of course, take a look at how many expensive Euro cars ride the streets of BKK, damn things are everywhere. Maybe Hyundai should lift their prices in Thailand. Have you even looked at the Hyundai lineup before you make such a silly statement? Have a look at some of their model here and still stick by the remark that they make ugly cars. https://www.hyundaiusa.com/genesis/comparison.aspx and here https://www.hyundaiusa.com/sonata/comparison.aspx I've seen a couple of Sonata's on the road in Chiang Mai and it certainly had a wow factor for me and had me starring and once followed one to be sure I was seeing Hyundai badge on it. I would probably got one if they had US prices on it here ($25k). But with it in the same price range as Accord, Camry, etc. I would have to evaluate my thoughts on it a bit. Saw that the Thailand Hyundai site shows neither the Sonata or Genesis series available so assume the ones I saw were either grey import or special order. I have seen them on display in Central at Chonburi. Quite impressive and appear good value for money, about 1.2M if I remember right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximillian Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Service is worse than Ford.[/quote I will WEAR... Hyundai looks like s$#@ to me.

Ace of Pop Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 This Ford thing is getting a pain in the But. I Recon we have all got good memories of Ford ,. Chevy etc.. If You have found good Ford service here in Thailand your lucky.The Range here is Crap even now, wheres the Mustang for a start, the fast Fiestas .Refer to Thai availability / customer nationwide service, overall view to remain credible please.Hyundai, a much improved product, so is Jaguar, and like them no Service Centers, so F/A use if you work all over Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Americans have produced some very interesting cars, like the Studebaker Avanti. I saw one in London in the early 60's and my eyes nearly fell out of my head, totally radical for it's day.

Not sure how you can come at me supposedly telling lies and that I was thrashing my Ranger when it is known that I following a Toyota sedan through a lightly flooded soi when the incident happened but Iam sure you will reply that the Toyota was doing like 500mph (cause they are the best and indestructible) and I was hot on his ass or something along those lines depending on which ever fantasy land you are in at the moment of making a post. Seriously AOP, you need to give away the Beers/Bongs/Betel Nuts or what ever it is you consume.... you would be a better person for it and quite possibly given your age and experience become a valuable poster here in the motoring forum cause as it is at the moment you are considered by most to be the forum clown posting random dribble.
