hahaha... maybe sx4, maybe elantra/avante... there are still choices around... not necessarily the 2 main jap makes

i found this news on the net. naza three models will roll out this year.

oh....only 2 doors is introduced...... probably they wont bring in 4 doors...haha

i doubt the report. the 2 door koupe will not help win market share as the demand for 4 door sedan will be many folds more than 2 door sedan.

i agree as the 2 doors really put me off........ sigh..... end of forte for me....

sauce for 4 door Forte



so, any more doubts?

Saw this ad http://carlist.my/listings.php?id=30208. It says it will be launched end July.

seems like a reasonable price, would kick the hyundai i30 in its butt

If the price really is < 70k I'm sooooo going to get this.

there wont be wide market for 2 door, most of the malaysian are aim for 4 doors

maybe kia soul will win satria neo.....MAYBE

now everything is weird......one announce 2 doors , the other 4 doors.... lets just wait

We getting Transformer version.

There are still doubts. Doubts about Naza, their quality, their after sales service and availability of parts. Anyone care to share experience ?

Same pic shown on paultan some time ago... Chrome parts with 17 inch alloys... looks like the high trim SLi or EX depending on which nomenclature Naza decides to use for the Malaysian market. I'd put my money and say they'll follow our southern neighbours and use LX and EX instead.

Looks dodgy... too cheap to be true. At 66K it'll probably kill the Wajas and Personas.

If it comes, it'll definitely have the sedan although I'm not sure how profitable would it be to bring in the Koup.

17"? is they come in with 17" i will down size it to 15" if it can fit, 17" for 1.6cc is too underpower.

Hopefully it launch soon. As there is not much new laucnhing from others makers. I believe Naza / Kia has to launch it soon as I believe they have stock up a lot and if this miss this launch this year, next year buyer is actually buying year 2009 made car.

But, have to really the year of manufacture and the tyre date as there alot of this issue happening to Spectra 5 owners. Buy new but old manufactured car.

Interest buyers please keep this in mind.

good news. i just received a sms from one of the kia dealers "100 units of Kia Forte just reach Malaysian kastam, waiting for memo of launching." most probably naza is going to launch in august.

The Kia Forte actually arrived in Malaysia. Kept secretly by Naza. Don't be surprised to c the year the car was manufactured. The easiest way is to look at the year of the tyre.

Naza do not have the capacity to assemble so many variety of car model. Kia Forte is actually imported with just 1 or 2 parts assemble here to make it a CKD.

Typical rebadge procedure.

Bring in limited CBU units - register models at RTD/JPJ - swap badges - wait for top mgmt launch announcement

Lv d looks n predicted pricing. Just hope Naza wont spoil resale value n post sales support like wat they did with Ria, 206 n Citra.

called the guy he said naza is not going to bring the 2.0L model.. just 1.6 forte...
my friend had seen this kia forte in malaysia as he is the kia authorize service dealer.
he also mentioned there are total of 3 new models.
