Right I think it was AutoAir.
But those prices you quoted there are vat exclusive, at least I think so.
Becos when I asked abt the front and rear parts he quoted prices you said there but said vat to be added. |

AutoAir has sensors as well ?
Those prices are more than what I was quoted at Auto Air last year...talk about inflation.
The girl at the front desk told me that they give discounts on bulk purchases, so a group buy could help if a few ppl want items.
Do you happen to know if AutoAir sells / isntalls the reverse camera and screen as well , not just the sensor (the one that beeps alone) |

Yes, as you come out of N&M head "up" Cipero Street, its on the right side not to far from N&M itself; I think they have a sign. |

but ent Kazim Ali have them thing also or he just installs it? which one?
I saw one on Frederick St. and boy it look real good. Its the single muffler version so I'm guessing it was the 2.0 DOHC 16V petrol engine. It had sunroof, spoiler, leather seats, side steps (chrome), chrome tail lights and the front semi-bush bar and the rear lower bumper bar with reflector lights mark "TUCSON". The door mirrors and handles were all chromed as well as the rear wiper and it was the 4WD version. That model is around $230k I believe. Not bad, oh the sunroof GLS models have side and head protection airbags, a more powerful audio system with in-dash 6 CD changer and auto climate control. No wonder they flooding the market. Unlike the SGV, this has rear disc brakes! |

The 2009 SGVs coming in August with all wheel disc brakes.
Interestingly though x2floor, all the 2005/08 SGVs globally were front disc and rear drum, not just Caribbean and Latin-American markets. What is the down fall to this type of braking system? In other words, what made them go with that? Cost?? I can't find any SGV tech info on this.
Thanks. |

Don't let anyone fool you...its a real stretch to call the audio in the GLS "more powerful" and as for "climate control"...it tries..but its no luxury sedan.
I could swear that the GLS is a bit lower than the GL model...I am not sure if its because of the tire profile or the GLS is actually lower because its marketed as having "sport" features..  |

I don't see any advantage of having rear disc brakes in such a class of vehicle as outlined in comparison tests in the USA, even with rear drums the SGV does post very respectable stopping distances without any fade to talk about. Its more marketing than anything else. It'll be a plus more so since its a RWD based 4WD vehicle and equipped with a semi-body on frame chassis. It should dissipate heat more consistently over that of drums under heavy braking but thats pretty much it.
Now since the SGV is becomming equipped with such then we should get even surer stopping power especially for the 1% of owners who'll take it for circuit racing!
Personally I'll take the SGV over the Tucson but wrt our local market and pricing......I'll lean more towards the Tucson GL or even GLS. Now if N&M could bring down those 2.7 DOHC 24V V6 models with cruise control and call $300k tops......it'll be a good buy as I am aware that there are a few 2.7 V6 SGV's with sunroof around as well......price is what I'm not aware of though.
DW.....the Tucson GL has 215/65R16 tyres while the GLS trim has 235/60R16.......as we can see the aspect ratio of height is decreased in the GLS therefore you don't need to swear .....good observation though. Its only shorter because the GLS is supposedly the "softer" model to pamper you.  |

GL and GLS 2WD models come with Radio/Cassette CD/MP3 Player with Tweeters
GLS 4WD comes with the above plus Amplifier, Subwoofer, Equalizer and in-dash 6CD changer so the sound system in this grade would be more powerful. |
