European styling from ex-Audi designer at lower price...
With good after sales service, this car will take sales from Vios and City This post has been edited by Kampung2005: May 11 2009, 01:59 AM |

QUOTE(amduser @ May 11 2009, 12:35 PM) and also what type of transmission this car use? Vios and City are just B segment car, whereas Forte is a C segment car, meaning same class as Civic/ Corolla/ Sylphy/Lancer.....from value point of view, it is affordable and bargain...72k sounds tempting, but vios J still a bit cheaper, but if it is me i will choose this car over vios and city, since the new city are more expensive   In Singapore, Kia Forte is offered with 4 speed automatic transmission... Other markets, 5 speed automatic transmission also provided |

QUOTE(advocado @ May 15 2009, 02:25 PM) Guess the so called world reknowned designer's just a marketing gadget he probably dug the design out from his recycle bin. At least it doesn't look bland like the Toyota Vios...The car design line at least looks more refined, dynamic and certainly sleek unlike bloated Vios front... |

QUOTE(xshiro @ May 15 2009, 09:00 PM) i agree. ppl say copy there and here. but as the result it looks not too aggressive but great. Eurasian i would say Once people had the mindset of Korean cars are inferior than Japanese car, people will stick with that mindset, no matter how good Korean car is... In this case, the design is hardly called as "copy", similiarities, yes, because this is a mainstream car, what can you expect from a mainstream car.... Again, the design is an accomplished one, with sleek lines and knowing that, the design is penned by someone who is famous for designed the first generation Audi TT, enough to describe his accomplishment... |

Pricing very competitive, and very clean design.
I think it may make a dent on sales like Honda City, Toyota Vios to certain extent. Now, only Chevrolet Cruze left. |
