civic is just a basic crap in paki C/C+ segment rite now. just because it is hyper priced doesnt mean it has to be advocated all the time.expensive doesnt mean its good. I have been repeatedly mentioning in civic forum that the civic Hype and bubble is long burst. its just investor money thats driving the civic delivery delay.thousands of cars in showroom and pakwheels with less then 10% profit on equity.
I had prebooked civic in Jan, cancelled my booking (due to 127 HP drama) and moved on to tucson. I feel many things missing in tucson like parking sensors, adaptive cruise & front cam, but still way ahead of oriel or RS in terms of drive and feel.
When you are around the range of 7 million you have tucson, sportage, sorento,sonata, Haval h6, changan, tiggo8 and MG HS CKD now. so many options!! i dont know why would anyone would consider a plane sedan. Civic RS is also on paper is only ahead of tucson/sportage in power. all other crossovers are bigger, faster and more comfortable.
another observation. I think the auto disruption has already happened. People around me, between age 35 to 50; no one has the new civic. I can count like a dozen people with cross overs, even one with tiggo booking but no one with a civic RS or oriel. you can come and see the evidence at giga mall parking, there is a mad rush for crossovers.
scratching further, if MG CKD really kicks in, that will be the final nail for ciiivacc fan boys.
