History
- Daily task reporting in LYN & AW daily following news on Forte for weeks.
- Check out the Forte 1 day before Launching at the showroom
- Booked the 2.0SX on the Launching Day paying RM2000 booking fees, SA saying car will be available in December.
- Overjoyed that its finally here and I am the 2nd person booking in that dealer branch meant when they have the car with matching color.. I am the first / second to get it.
- Followed by anxious and frustration for the next 1 month of wait, call, disappointment, uncertainty... and depress. ( I am the type of person that do not like to wait long for things that I am buying )
- Finally decided to cancel the booking on Dec 23rd after SA and Carelines telling no 2.0SX in coming 6 months time.
- followed by mixed feeling after cancellation for the whole week especially numerous rumors / sources stating starts delivery in Jan 2010, car is at PK.. and also.. hopes as SA promised as long as I didn't collect my refund check, I can still get the car when they are available for delivery.
5 mins ago, my phone rang and for the first time, I saw my SA's name appear on the caller ID ... what came across my mind is the car is Here !!. And from the phone.. he is telling me that I can come and collect now. When I asked him collect car ? he said.. nope, your refundable booking fees cheque is ready.
So.... Officially Bye Bye to Forte. I shall missed you especially when I bump onto one on the road, in the parking lot in future thinking.. I am that close to own one myself.
Added on January 8, 2010, 6:36 pmYou are very right, the Forte 2.0 will be more powerful for the power to weight ratio.. I am also small family of 2 only

Really sorry to learn that its final bro, i thought that you might still have slight chance of getting your Forte 2.0. All the best to you and your new D cawan, ops i mean D-segment ride ya
after this.. those buying 2.0SX don't put 2.0 emblem.. later we can say our car is 1.6.. so can get susidized fuel! ahaha
I think our government is so smart, sure will have a device at the petrol station where you can slot in you MyCard and scan your tumb print and it will validate whether it is your or a valid MyCard and next the system will link to JPJ database and check all the cars that you have registered and base on the highest CC car that you have registered determine the petrol price. The system will limit you from using your MyCard once an hour so that no one would stand at the petrol station to profit from pumping petrol for 2.0 and above cars
