hmm...been hearing alot rumours it will b well below 100k...almost 100k but not a six-figure car...it's their marketing strategy to pull more buyers i guess

i think they r doing better now compared to previous years in attracting more ppl to buy their cars...they know wat ppl wan and implement into the car...tat is why ppl like it and buy it

Every month, 500-600 Fortes are registered in the country. This compares favorably to Civic, Altis and even City (each of these three cars sells about the same amount every month). Msian mentality has already changed, bro. Even faster than anticipated.

What other changes do you want SD and Naza to make? Sell at cost price? There's nothing wrong with their selling prices at the moment. Unless and until the govt completely removes the protectionist policies, right now it's as good as it gets. Pls don't demand too much unless you want the company to lingkup because not enough profit margins.

If that happens, you may have paid less when buying your new Elantra or Forte but the price you actually pay is a bankrupt principle and super depreciation for your ride. I'm sure you won't want that, right? Remember what happened to Chevrolet and Renault last time?

yes totally agree with u...even news articles already mentioned the car market trend now is moving towards korean cars...i think the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear spills which wreakhavoc in japan got play a little part in giving rise to korean cars demand...i can see that most carmakers now r trimming down their price but yet offer an equally good car...competition is very fierce now...u can see they competing against each other in B, C and D segment cars...

i love cars offered in countries other than m'sia coz they r generally better quality and look nicer...here u can't get those features coz they wanna cut cost due to stupiak protection policy by Barang Naik...or rather the senile old man (u know who i am referring to)...if not bcoz of all of this idiocy...potong will lingkup in a blink of eye...they r capable of copy and paste onli...

You mean the senile Roti man? (read: The Loaf)...lol

lol...senile old man is nonetheless our 4th PM

anyway i really hope avante will b priced reasonably...now got forte 2.0L selling at 98.8k...logically speaking 1.8L shud b lower...but then again depends on which car segment market they focus on

As Na?a K?a will launch the karang look 2011 K?a Opt?ma soon and S?me Da?by may be will follow the momentum to push the Kimchi car launch tsunami here in Boleh Land for Avan?e 2011 and may be the lovely i30 2011 as well

hmm...i'm thinking...if they choose to launch near year end and i made a purchase...by the time my car arrive is already feb/march 2012...so my car manufacturing date is 2011 or 2012?

From the Midvalley website, under the event listing, there is an Hyundai event : "Hyundai Avantze

North Court,
Ground Floor

I think the car really gonna launch ady?
