wow if the 2.0 can be priced at 98k i think we will start seeing this alot on our road. the previous version of kia and hyundai to be honest nothing is great about the car except for cheap imported cars. But today started with Forte, and this Avante 2011, we will start buying design and equipments/features and not brand.

Last time hyundai and kia design < toyota and honda design.

despite it's cheap but loss at design. So many opted for T and H.

Today,

Hyundai Kia design > toyota and honda.

I tell you, you can start seeing the grow of H and K cars on the road.

Malaysia just very wierd, i believe the looks of the car is the 1st priority and Hyundai and Kia made the right choice. Forte is getting more and more on the road. My office building got 5 fortes already. and I see 1 new vios and 1 or 2 new city only.

if the car makes it's way to our shore.. do u guys tink tat the specs list will be changed ah? i mean normally cars dat make it here the spec gets lower rite? if got HID, dam nice wei...

With the GDI tecnology invented, i wonder this word " That's no replacement for displacement " can be used anymore. This engine can delivers 140 PS and 167Nm of torque which equivalent to a 1.8 Civic.

rumored new avante interior spy shot

and this one. . .



wonder SD will offer 4 or 6 airbags for this car or not. . .

the center panel of the interior doesn't look nice. and the air cond vents seem small for the middle too..

of course as not as good as sonata.

The center air cond vents seem to be located too low.

Looks good indeed BUT I'll wait till this car arrives in KL before I make my judgement. In addition to that their engines might not even come to Malaysia due to our shitty fuel quality. We might just get the previous gen engines haha

if we really get old engines, hehe.. then the story end.. Bye bye

If i not mistaken GDI min requirement is min RON96, so RON97 should be no problem. Hopefully SD will bring in this baby without decrease the specification.

If this avante 2011 compared with forte, what did ur say?

On paper the Forte surely loses. People forget the Forte, despite being released in late 2009/early 2010, is actually a year 2009 car. How to compare with the Elantra which is 2 years more advanced with newer Hyundai-Kia goodies?

However it's hard to say until the Elantra is officiallly released.

If 1.6 Avante vs 1.6 Forte sure Avante win lerr.
1. GDI engine vs MPI engine ( in term of torque & housepower also loss )
2. 6 speed gearbox vs 4 speed gearbox

Other spec like car weight did not specifly on Avante yet, this is the main factor power to weight ratio.

Better looking than Forte...

Damn ganas front ....

One Word: Awesome!

Don't think it will hit our shore anytime soon.
The current Elantra was launched in April 2006 and it came to us in Jan 2008..thats about 1 1/2 years.
Could it be 2012? Damn..........

Damn, it's making my mouth watery..
If I got to choose between Forte and this, I'll pick this anytime

hyundai bring it on if your want your company in malaysia to grow!!

They need to make a coupe version of this and whack in the 2.0 turbo engine from the genesis coupe. =) Then it will sell like hot cakes...
