Kia behaved like Stonic is something over and above its actual status.
Stonic is the only model in LMC’s Kia lineup which isn’t globally obsolete. They posed this small cramped car as if it is a castle inside. Customers have become sharp now. It is not easy to fool them. More details in this previous topic: https://carspiritpk.com/only-kia-pakistan-not-an-obsolete-model/ from around an year ago. Why would the customers buy it if they know that the seller itself doesn’t believe in its own product?
While PakSuzuki made some bank after upgrading to newest model, Kia couldn’t.
Lying is never justified, even if it not as extreme being some “marketing speak”.
