Just checked with sales person, there is no traction control.

SD is really not into the business really, unlike Kia. Pricing actually sucks & some features were taken out. Worst of all, the Glenmarie showrrom denied entry to all customer until 2pm today.

K5 is the codename for the upcoming latest Kia Optima

Actually Sime Darby Hyundai did strip off quite a number of stuffs from the new Sonata, although they can choose to introduce them all in the 2.4 high spec version. My guess is Sime Darby saving these features for the facelift or just simply reap more profit now.

Regarding the Vios, brand power aside, the major selling point is also because of the cheaper J spec. Also the recent facelift does play a part, despite nothing exciting announced. Therefore even the Honda City does not come close, not to mention Kia Forte which is in a different class although pricing is almost on the same level for Vios E & G spec.

By class, the Forte is actually faring quite well against the Altis especially & not that too far from Civic.

Naza Kia achieved top 20 for its model Forte is an achievement although they can do better. Considering the predecessors Kia Sephia & Spectra does not really has a strong name in this market. On top of that both the Honda & Toyota factories itself is already bigger than Naza Kia's. This is not yet considering the Forte is bringing as a CBU unit for months since its launching late last year. Kept comparing the Forte with the market leaders on every aspects will make you a biased hater instead of being logical.

There is an overtrade offer right now for the new Sonata. Up to RM 3k discount.
