That's the oldest trick in the book, frame the question so you get the responses you want
My theory is that there's a lack of competition in the Thailand Special market, everyone offers dreary diesel 4 cylinder engines so there is no incentive to offer anything thats a step upwards, its similar to how in the 1980s there were a fair few turbo cars available to the market, then they just completely disappeared in the 1990s/00s until they came back because of emissions regulations then they are all over the place again.
It really needs someone like Hyundai/Kia to enter the market who will offer something above the norm for the whole class to attract buyers to their brand in this category, then the rest will get a kick up the *** and start trying to compete again.
