They can drop their prices a bit but the Japanese, German, American, and Korean auto brands in Thailand are all being left in the dust--and rightly so. Every week it seems a new Chinese model comes on the scene. Fresh and attractively styled, packed with technology, conveniences, and safety features, and all at a very good price. Spouse and I were watching tv last night looking at a video of the latest model to hit Thailand from Geely. Beautiful SUV, just super styling, lots of features and technology, very nice interior, and a starting price of under 700,000 baht. WHile we were watching a commercial came on for a Toyota model and it looked so clunky and dated in comparison. If we were car shopping right now I don't think there is a single non-Chinese model that would be on our list to go look at. Not one. We would definitely want at least plug-in hybrid, but likely all-electric, so that leaves out the vast majority right from the get-go. They need to get cracking--too much of their product is dated, stale, and over-priced.
