erm...that would be nice. The first batch CBU price and CKD price will not be huge difference for Rondo case. But, CKD has taken out few things.

I guess Forte might be the same strategy. If that is the case, better go for 1st batch
*
erhmmm oh so the pricing will be different? but what i heard from SA, car will be listed as CKD its just that they all know first batch is CBU

QUOTE(chaostan @ Nov 2 2009, 11:09 PM)
Any bodykit include? I doubt the price is RM9++++K for CBU? If this really the price, hyundai can close shop already..
*
BK wise not sure, but i think most probably dont have larrr..... its indeed 9xxxx ++ for the 2.0 version CBU

but case could be different from here,

maybe they're selling expensive first, den if later no demand den they will drop the price?

or first batch aka CBU more expensive after that CKD cheaper? shiet~~~ =.=''

I had a thought on this as well..there's a few probability

1- Msian still sees Kia/Hyundai/Korean cars as bad therefor low sales..lower car price after a year or two
2- 1st batch CBUs more expensive..then 2nd batch onwards CKDs with less stuffs (30% less?)
3- Sell CBUs at current price..then CKDs at same price once its available

=S

hahaha den i seriously hope it will be the 3rd one, and just like singapore the price will increase ngek ngek ngek tongue.gif den the first batch will get benefit from it hahahahaa, some more wont feel "am kan"

I was based on Citra II Rondo case making an assumption. Rondo was first brought in with 800 units as CBU, and lucky buyer got the CBU car. Then later stage, all Rondo stocks are considered CKD (tipu CKD, 90% still import, Naza only put on steering, bumper etc.) and price is same with the 800 units.

I am not sure Forte will go thru the same strategy. If so, of course the first batch will be better, becoz it is CBU mah.

I have just came back from Kia Puchong office, tested drive Rondo, the sales guy told me Forte will be launched 24th Nov.

So, we have two dates now, 15th & 24th.
*
yes yes, if thats the scenario den ok laaaaaa at least first batch CBU will be better in terms of quality i guess? and also in terms of pricing they wont get affected right? whistling.gif

I DON'T KNOW~
both looks great...
i think will stick with white...
reason.. i don't know! LOL

hahaha my first choice of color will be grey, and 2nd is the red
black and white too hard to maintain, so i skip these 2 colors

Uwaa..place booking alreaddy
Yeah..I've got the same idea too! Lol
Booking fee how much? And is it refundable?
Eh..when you're going ar? This saturday wanna go have a look?
*
the booking fee? its 1000 but can nego one laugh.gif
i double checked with the SA, he said can refund... so whether really can refund or not i dunno laaa sweat.gif

QUOTE(StarGhazzer @ Nov 4 2009, 04:05 AM)
That's probably the Metallic Bronze. There's no grey colour for the Forte, the closest you'll get to grey is the Titanium Silver which I believe looks much better than the generic bright silver.
Different red. Koup gets a flat shade of red (which may fade with time as most solid colours do), while the sedan gets Spicy Red which is metallic and a little wee bit darker.

Do you guys get the Orange?
*
i seee..... too bad no titanium silver here
yeah the spicy red is in metallic, looks good on it hehe rolleyes.gif
nope, dont have orange color...
