Added on January 5, 2011, 11:04 amI agree with ur 1st part.
But on the 2nd part, I still feel Malaysians are a little narrow minded and not very daring risk takers. My parents are exactly like that. I believe if the price difference is only going to be 10k, correct me if i'm wrong, but a lot of Malaysians would much rather fork out that additional 10k to have a Honda or Toyota. Well, but not me. I've already made up my mind i want this 1.6 Avante... unless it's gonna cost like >100k or something la. haha!

first impression? the car is so CHIO and i m so SONG (in hokkien).... however, its a bit too small for me. look at the pic u will know.. anyway, its still my first choice if hyundai price it within my budget.

Many knows that the T&H brands car are overpriced but at the same time the resale value is there. Is like buy high sell high thing and the demand is there. When it comes to value for money, even the proton is picking up now with the new features added to car like the new Inspira, with Mivec Engine and 6speed CVT, autolight, rains sensor, leather seat etc. Sure people can argue about the quality of proton but only time will tell if things has changed from the past. The new facelifted Forte is a good buy IMHO. Paddle shift, Led side mirror and autofold, rear mirror reverse camera, 6 speeds plus the existing engine push start , proximity key, traction control.
Avante is good looking compared to Forte but i think the price will no be cheap. Heard 1..6 GDI engine is unlikely to be brought in. Therefore the 1.8 version very likely is going to be 100k and above.

Well said. I would have this, but notice a lot of ppl have already answered that question. My stupid saga BLM has trouble doing even 13km/L on the highway. Personally, i think with a 1.6l engine and relatively small size, this Hyundai would do better than 14.2km/L.

I want a white 1.8L Avante... It is elegant... But still don't know if the price will exceed RM100k or not...

taking risk, having return and taking risk, loosing money is very different...

for the car industry, because we are paying premiums for our cars... there's no point forking out more money to repay the loan when you want to sell/upgrade your ride... therefore people play safe by buying popular brands because there's demand, availability of spare parts, etc...

went to the hyundai showroom in glenmarie today, and the sales person say there wont be 1.6L one coming wor... only got 1.8 or 2.0...

waaahhhhhhh!!! noooooo
why?? why must have 2.0? sonata and tucson already 2.0....

Added on January 6, 2011, 11:28 ami think i know why. don't wanna overlap with Kia Forte. But really, the 2.0 will overlap with Sonata...
