goodah~
let's go there together and TT will be good while we waiting..
but if too many cars can they handle it?
so we can expect the price is RM700 each..
wow.. very good price compare to the one i heard is RM1500 to RM1800..

yes.. next batch also will be CBU..
not so soon can run CKD completely...
so till next batch still CBU.. after that maybe CKD..
but bear in mind.. next batch Forte car price will jackup 2-4k..
*
TT while doing PPS?
how many cars can they take if say few of us go?
hahaha..if maximum 2 then we will spend whole day there lor.
but anyway, i'm keen.

of course if 1st batch is selling like hot cakes..brace yrself for price hike.
agree with u Phelix!

yup.. i heard this news also from my fren hu is a SA in kepong,.. probably after cny onli can get the car
but for those hu paid the deposit should be affected for the price hike
seriously ur SA said that? omg, coz averagely KL numberplate runs 1000 numbers per day...
i tot on that time ngam ngam WTH
u approach the bank urself or this is what ur SA offers you?
julian, is time for us to fight for lower interest rate.! tongue.gif
*
hahaha..imagine if a group of 5-10 of us guys walk into the bank and demanding to see the manager.
they'll pee in their pants thinking its daylight robbery.
yes..fight for lower interest but u know-lah banks are BIG, not like dealers.

maybe some of u brothers here can enquiry?

1)price list
2)Spec
3)Car Color & Pic

5)List of potential buyer /owner

I support Julz76 he can be taikor leading the club hahaha

He is not wrong actually, the reason is because

GEMA 2.0 (original develop name) = Theta II 2.0 (Kia/Hyundai name for the engine) = 4B11 (mitsubishi version)

All in all, basicly the same engine except maybe some different tuning by the different manufacture.
*
Yup..you got that right!

Here's the reply from Kia Malaysia:
The Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance LLC, or GEMA, is a manufacturing arm of Global Engine Alliance LLC, which was a joint venture of Chrysler, Mitsubishi Motors, and Hyundai Motor Company for developing a line of shared engines. The Theta II was part of this but the engines you find in the Forte are built in South Korea.

Hi Jul,

The red isn't the one we saw in this forum earlier thread right?

You can check this up, don't tell this is red: Forte Red?
*
This is the Spicy Red they brought to Penang for the National Press Introduction.
It was held at Hard Rock Hotel Penang.
So, what do you think of this Red?

BTW, confirmed from Kia Malaysia creator that Clear White and Ebony Black is...SOLID!

So, the white is not metallic??  doh.gif

I  don't like this red to be honest. I thought the red is like this: True red, check post #1124
*
I thought there's only 1 Red?
U can check out the Kia Singapore website.
Only has the Spicy Red.

Ya-lor..not Metallic but some brothers said confirmed by HQ, branches and/or dealers.

hmm... really have to test drive to see how bad is the comfortness affected by the 17' wheels.
16' would be a more balanced combination in terms of look & performance, even elantra / avante & civic 1.8 are just using 205/55R16.

no matter... if really cannot tahan then only downgrade after a few yrs  icon_idea.gif

just to share with you guys when I posted the same question to the Kia guy.
Here's his answer:

Yeah the AW review looks interesting but I have to politely disagree that the SX has a 'crashy ride'. Some other journos had no complaints in this area. It's firm but not so different from a Golf GTi or similar (to me at least). I wonder why they don't call that 'crashy'. I guess the brand does matter. When you're not a 'REFERENCE' people tend to nitpick.

Of coz..we need to test-drive it for ourselves n be the judge.
