hahahahaa...i fully understand the desperation. But last Friday he told me NAZA mgmt blablabla with custom, u guys already know abt it.  Only this week, he has told me abt car allocation and will be ready by Friday or Monday.

Well, let see how lor. Even now want to change to other car also too late to catch up CNY. give them last chance until CNY lor.

If no car, then we all discuss what to do next. But one thing for sure, car is here already.

what car? u sure? 2.0? last week my mum just bought a 2.0 black colour. and suppose yesterday can take the car ady. even register  liao. But today knew an important news about what is happening now,and 2.0 must be hold out and cant be drive yet...but duno i  can tell anot..scare later c4 by bn ...how le? can say anot?

Please consider carefully about the Avante. I was so tempted to buy it but really the engine feels sluggish and the roar is quite obvious. I tested the Avante and I30 1.6 back to back and the I30 has better refinement. However, I find the car sluggish as well but the handling is nicer than the Avante. Between the Forte 1.6sx and I30, again the Forte is better value for money.

Have you guys got any other alternatives if scenario a happens?

Downgrade to 1.6sx from 2.0?

Get an I30?

Bite the bullet and buy a Ford Focus?

I like the mazda 3 like crazy but at RM116k I must be crazy to let the govt tax me somemore.

Swallow my pride and wait for the Waja replacement? (For this option I would rather have my tonsils removed)

Buy the Perodua Alza and die of embarrassment when Jeremy Clarkson blows it up like the Kelisa?

Remember the AP king himself passed away last year in the US. With Malaysia's iron lady gone, I think their power base may not be so strong especially with our old friend (TDM) championing Proton. SD is a Government Linked Company also. I think someone in SD is now more proactive as they even reply personally in their Ford forum.

Berjaya must be laughing when they sold Hyundai to Sime Darby. Walk into any Hyundai dealer today and you can see they are quite unhappy. I went to the branch in Jalan 222, it is like their SA are no longer motivated to sell. I went to another branch in SS2 lagi worst, one of the employee was sleeping in the meeting room. Really I am shocked to see this.

The thing about buying the I30 is afraid of getting whacked if they have to cut price like the Avante from RM93k to RM83k.

Mazda 3 2.0 was my dream car b4 Forte. It's got everything i want but too pricey and yes 1.6 is not only underpowered but too expensive.

Forte 2.0 is comparable to Mazda 3 in many ways. too bad... sigh~~~

price increase most likely starting march. memo is out, but new price not mentioned in memo

Yes, its 2.0. I wish he can b trusted. Though his info is always consistent since beginning. Well, if tmr no memo, I guess the conclusion is clear. Maybe he is outdated to get the news? Lol..,,
