Checked with one of the dealer in Town.

After raba2 the Tuscon and Sonata I started to enquire about the all New Avante.
Felt a bit embarrassed initially cause the SA gave me the "WTF" look when I mention Avante which obviously means that she does not know what it is all about.
When I mention New Elantra then she understood but only up to that, shi*t...talking about product knowledge, than she pulled her manager to see me.
Ok now we are on the right track.

According to him there will be some "Meeting" with Hyundai HQ about this Avante in March and the product is expected to be launched by April or May.
I gave him the "R U SURE" look. He say yes. I still doubt it.....
Anyway he further added that there will be 2 version which will be 1.6 and 1.8...again I say r u sure.
It seems the current Accent sales will be stopped once Avante comes in.

Waiting period for Sonata is 3mths and 6mths for Tucson! and these depends on colours too.
Apparently Hyundai/SD don't want to make the same mistake as the two above models and for Avante they want to bring some ample stocks before
launching.Seeing less "New" Hyundai on the roads giving a wrong impression about their sales and confidence to the public, so some change in strategy.

Booking fee is RM1K.
Can't promise any discounts or freebies for time being as they don't know what is the price going to be like.
Delivery will be on First come first serve basis.

Yeowa,
out of desperation you have opted for Forte I guess. Anyway keep the insider's news coming in.

Could it be "Spa"

The pricing looks very promising.
If it is September than there is another 6mths to go.....good! and time to accumulate more money for deposit.

It has reach the Singapore showroom and normally after 5 months from now(like the other launches) it might reach our shore as well which will be in September, just like many of you predicted.
