Once i asked Miss Heng of Comfort Operation , she is the
Executive of the Operations , i asked her what is Comfort's
direction for the next year or so , their commitment to the fleet
of taxis after Sonata , she replied that currently , Sonata still
their anchor fleet .
Until a new model of taxi is found , Sonata still the
anchor taxi for Comfort .
Camry they have thougth of .... only as a Limousine , not normal
taxis , due to the high cost .
Comfort cannot used Camry as a normal cab , reason that what
kind of rental are they going to fix ?
Too low , sonata will be stuck .
Too high , merc and Azera will be stuck .
When they do a planning , they have to protect their interest in
other taxis as well .
Unless ..... Camry launched as a CNG , which give drivers an
option , still they have to consider other lower cost options .
Currently ..... Sonata still make $$$ for Comfort ... i dun see
any other brands can be effectively better than Sonata .
Unless Toyota proposed a model , lower cost than Sonata , better
CC , cheaper in fuel consumption .... which i really don't see that
in the near future .
Toyota is World's No.1 Car Manufacturer , what is the benefits
for them in this deal ? Peanuts , they'll chose to focus in China's
market .
Singapore too small a market for Toyota .
