well, don't think of it as a mundane taxi, but for arguments sake, think of it as Australias answer to Germanys BMW, (yes I know the quality is different, but look at it from a niche market point of view) An equivalent size bimmer would probably be the 5 series. You can get all different size motors options, etc. Now think Australia, traditionally Australia only gets a choice of 2 motors, now ECOBOOST, ECOLPi, 6s, 8s, turbo (and talks of a diesel) are available for consumers. Wouldn't you think thats a step in the right direction? ECOBOOST, still rear wheel drive, seats 5 real adults and the FACT that its made in Australia should be points to consider. And don't forget about spare parts which are readily available and relatively cheap too. Kia Optimas are nice but cmon, G6 TURBO 4 banger with a bit of fruit for $36-$37k......thats good value in my books!!
