Was at KLIMS too but the area where da car was parked was off limit to vistors unless u r one of the exhibitors there whom were able to get in there to feel the car? Perhaps some photo of the sample unit would be suffice?

Do they release the pricing for avante?

I was there just now. Initially , no one dare to enter the area coz the model was standing there and everyone busy looking at her and taking photograph. Suddenly one kuai lo go  enter the car. After that everyone also follow him and open the door and look at the interior. The driver seat adjuster is using the push button type which looks very high class. The other car i saw with this feature there was the Lexus IS250. Don't know if other same class car has the same.
Agree that the rear passenger leg room is quite spacious.

any idea when any of these CCs will come to m'sian shore?

Third quarter 2011?
Sound a bit late there..
If this avante price at 94k,
I rather opt insight at98k including insurans..

If first quarter 2011, with 90k or lesser.. It would be a good buy..

You sound like you gonna get the Avante soon. 1st time see you so semangat talking bout other cars. XD (* This is a compliment.)

Hope financially I'm good for Avante next year.

Seriously if Mr. cybermaster98 has good things to say of this car (looks/specs wise since we have not tested it yet on our shores) it must be worthy of a visit. Actually the only reason I want to go to KLIMS is to see that car in metal. Screw the models and other cars. Hehe. Maybe take a peek at the Sante Fe and Honda Insight too.

Proton where got launch hybrid car? they launch electric car la...

I saw the car on Monday at KLIMS. Manage to sit inside the car, front and back. REALLY IMPRESSIVE!!! hahaha... After looking first round, went back second round after rounding the floor. 3rd quarter 2011 is good also, at least I can accumulate more money... Hehehe... But I hope all the features are available at RM9xk lor... Sunroof, park assist and etc. Love the seat cover and the sporty leather steering wheel.

Insight was way too small man... Leg space very small.

Oh ya, I went to KLIMS with objective of peeking at this Avante... And now, I can just dream of owning it unless I am the lucky winner for the TOYOTA PRIUS! Hahaha...

@cybermaster98 Please let me know when we can do booking eh...

At the mean time we have lots of time to hear about the performances in the US and decide. I would want the colour on display one at 1.8 variant.

Wow, you really analyse until that level. Lol...

wah so kiasu... haha... Do you need to test drive this car before booking ah? I am planning to find review by other ppl outside malaysia and will book upon satisfactory review.

@kiwi_cream
Not that I know off yet. Interior will not change much except for the seat material and maybe the players.

Dear all, I have called 2 SA from 2 different dealer and confirmed that booking can be done now. Booking fee is RM1k and is fully refundable in the event if you are not happy with the car after the launch. The benefit of booking now is that those who book before the launch will be invited to the soft launch (few months before the actual launching) and will get their car during the launch.

The package offered for group booking for 1 SA around my area is free 2 years labour during service but only at Puchong authorised service centre.

The other SA is offering full tank of petrol when receive the car + GPS (either papago or garmin) + some discount (which can only be quantified when more details are available) + whatever offer from Sime Darby.

I still felt the latter is more attractive.

Both SA estimated the price could be over RM100k for the 1.8 or 2.0 variant. My friend say if there is 1.6 variant, it will definitely below RM100k. According to them, 1,6 variant is powerful enough to support the car. All these indication are still at early stage.

These 2 SA say the expected launch will be on September and car will be available on November. A year to go...

If anyone of you are interested, maybe we can build a list so we have higher bargaining power.

Sorry... took me an hour to upload all these pics... internet line so cacat...

keeping hope tht it'll launch on Q1...tht way i have more choices to choose from

Went to KLIMS yesterday. Will process the pictures and upload them soonest possible.

Nt gng to bash, just my honest opinion. Dont you think the rear legroom look very tight?

This is going to be saddest news ever
