Association plays a powerful role in our purchase decisions. We admire the watches and clothes worn by celebrities and personalities, desire to visit the places they travel, and even crave the food they eat.

Besides Toyota, another brand busy with new crossover models is Hyundai. While Malaysia has only 3 (Santa Fe, Tucson, and the soon-to-arrive Kona), overseas there are also the smaller Creta and Venue, the fuel-cell-powered Nexo, and the gargantuan Palisade.
