Just read the review in some SG review site and it seems that KIA fails to live up to expectationss...

Kia Review

Any idea how much is 2.0 selling and what is the spec?? I'm thinking to take Peugeot 308T or this? Need your advise. AND when launching la.,

Hm... Santorini Blue looks pretty cool, but nah the new logo still looks too similar to Lexus.

Anyway, a North American perspective of the 2010 Forte SX. Surprisingly it ditches the chrome finishes on the exterior, but as expected replaces the faux chrome with the Koup's gunmetal in the interior console. It also comes with manual air conditioning although I believe in our region we'll still be getting the auto-climate control.

Apart from the subtle cosmetic changes, it's still pretty much the same Forte with the oversensitive accelerator paddle.

Ebony black never looked as good as this
Although I still prefer Graphite.

Yeah..but being a metallic color..it might be slightly more expensive..but couple of hundred bucks that is xD

I've gotta agree..the Ebony black is damn smexy in the pic

I might just stick to white and look for gunmetal rims..it'd be nice to get the one like this

Read somewhere prior to the new Picanto launch that there were cars launching on the 28/10/2009 and 15/11/2009

So..with the recent announcement of the new Picanto on the 28th..we can only assume 15th Nov is the Forte? =S

White you've gotta keep washing to ensure such stain like the picture above won't appear..especially during the monsoon season.. =/

Black also abit painful to maintain..you've gotta ensure the materials used is really soft when washing..or else you'd start to see scratches as black really brings out those "circular" lines if not properly handled during washing

I'm not exactly sure..but from experience those tend to come out..I have yet solve it myself =P

But there's is a thread on car buffing around here..can't remember where

oh... think no.1 lasting color is silver... mine is and from getting the car till now i washed only 1 time! omg... just sent in for paint coating..

think all metallic natural tone color is kind of boring but easy to maintain...
personally like red... then CFO says no! haaa....

nowadays rainy season.. i guess better take other color beside white or black.
my cerato color blue, and havent send to carwash since its always raining nowadays.. :/

car in the photo below havent been send to carwash btw:

So, Naza has opt to continue using the KIA badging for its upcoming sedan.



Yeah, I'm slowpoke. Too busy working. No time to update myself with cars info.
