Anyone would pick a Japanese car if it actually offered good value for money. But paying Rs. 14 million for a Raize or Rs. 16 million for a JDM Yaris Cross? I just don't get it.You're basically saying buy old tech, less comfort, old looking hard plastic cabins and rely on resale value. I'd rather enjoy a more comfortable, feature-packed car now than worry too much about what it'll be worth in 5 yearsJust look at how many Jetour T2s and Sealion 6s are on the road. People are buying them because they offer comfort that used to come only with European cars. I know more than 10 people who had Premio's who went with Sealion 6.Also, I don't think Japanese cars will keep their resale value forever if they stop offering value for money.Do you really think 4-5 years from now people will still pay Rs. 12 million for a 2025 Raize that's done 100,000 km? I don't think so my friend, Yes only if LKR depreciate like 50%Yeah, Chinese cars will probably depreciate around 50-60%, while Japanese might be around 30%, But these days people don't like spending a fortune on a car that's already done 100k. They want newer cars with newer tech.I'm pretty sure in another 3-4 years, at least 40-50% of the cars on Colombo roads will be Chinese. But if Japan starts bringing proper value again, people will definitely buy them. Imagine if we could get a Harrier or RAV4 for Rs. 25 million. I'd pick that over a Jetour T2 any day. But when a Harrier is around Rs. 40 million.  You tell me a good Japanese car to buy around 25 million ?Corolla cross ?
