QUOTE(finkl1 @ Jan 30 2012, 08:01 PM) if you got fed up with the price...there's always the lower specced... The new Accent is selling like crazy in many countries. I just came back from HCM and New Accent was such a common sight already (many Veloster also). In GCC the Accent is already the number 5 best-selling car (despite it was launched in March 2011) while the Solaris in Russia is now the best selling foreign car. All those countries have no GDi as well and still using 4speed automatic Accent. Unfortunately...no GDi again... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_Accent http://bestsellingcarsblog.com/2012/01/27/...d-camry-on-top/ So you can expect our Accent to come with 1.4/1.6 single CVVT Gamma engine with 4speed automatic, the worldwide strategy of Hyundai:P This post has been edited by caddilac: Jan 30 2012, 10:40 PM |

QUOTE(tunasandwich @ Feb 2 2012, 02:42 PM) Sonata sales good meh? From a Korean D-seg car point of view, Sonata is quite an achievement. Until now the sales of Sonata is still very sustainable (avg 100+) considering how small the price gap it have with the Jap. |

QUOTE(BuFung @ Feb 2 2012, 03:36 PM) that is always true for KIA/Hyundai here.. until today Sportage waiting period are still fantastic.. only recently the Tucson waiting period settle down.. Actually not only in Malaysia but a worldwide issue... Even in US the Elantra is the car with lowest inventory... If you are familiar with Hyundai and Kia, you will notice that many of their factories are running on 3 shifts and exceeding their actual capacity... Both their US and China plants exceeded the projected capacity by 10% yet they still can't produce enough... Added on February 2, 2012, 3:46 pm QUOTE(tunasandwich @ Feb 2 2012, 03:41 PM) so they wud like to keep the gap there, instead of closing it... I don't think it is possible for them to price it even lower... The previous Sonata NF CKD was about 120k while the CBU YF is only 136k yet with so many upgrades... Same story for Elantra, X20 CKD was 99k and if the new MD 1.8 is 110k, I don't think it is too much with all those added features.The main problem most people having is the logo. People expect it to be cheap with a Inokom logo. Added on February 2, 2012, 3:49 pm QUOTE(heng84 @ Feb 2 2012, 09:57 AM) Really ??? How much did they lower down for example like forte?? Maybe I can save up some $$ Until now the new car price of Forte is still very stable... Hardly see huge cash discount This post has been edited by caddilac: Feb 2 2012, 03:49 PM |

QUOTE(sean8509 @ Feb 3 2012, 10:36 AM) that 2din player look alike aftermarket The unit on Santa Fe is not original as well... Isn't that original HU not compatible with local map? You see the whole range of Kia in Malaysia got no GPS because the ori unit cannot put our map... Even the Sonata 2.4 Premium is not an ori unit as well...  original is US elantra  if that player totally vendor from aftermarket, toally not worth it, and whole image look not so impressive, i rather spend my money to MAZDA 3 ,if Hyundai doing this  if they put the original player like US version that might consider By the way if you can appreciate the cramped rear seat, 5spd AT and the single VVT not so new MZR engine, Mazda3 will be a good choice with 6 airbags as welll This post has been edited by caddilac: Feb 3 2012, 12:04 PM |

QUOTE(FluidicSculpture @ Feb 3 2012, 09:27 PM) Specs been out since December, nothing new there. Different center fascia design? Can't really understand this... If the same vendor for Santa Fe is supplying the Elantra GPS, that unit is actually very good for it's price. I've seen other GPS HU before, the interface is not as streamlined as the one on the Santa Fe. GPS depends on the GPS software anyway, doesn't really have anything to do with the HU, if you use Papago it'll be all the same regardless of HU's brand or software as most GPS now runs on same hardware specs, performance will not vary by very much. Some minor updates, not 100% , since I didn't go to the soft launch that day, but the 1.8 center fascia design will be a bit different from from the 1.6, and Nappa leather seats appears to be black color. Added on February 3, 2012, 9:40 pm QUOTE(sean8509 @ Feb 3 2012, 08:02 PM) u right , cramped rear seat, 5spd AT and the single VVT not so new MZR engine, Mazda3 will be a good choice with 6 airbags as welll SkvActiv G is not a cheap tech... You can check the pricing of 2012 Mazda3 on US website and see how much the SkyActiv G cost over the 2.0MZR... so i waiting is new SKYACTIV-G engine tech bring in Malaysia for mazda 3 ,we always have better choice  update confirm launch is 22-02 , price 1.8 below 110k , from 80k source from Hyundai SA This post has been edited by caddilac: Feb 3 2012, 09:40 PM |

QUOTE(FluidicSculpture @ Feb 3 2012, 09:42 PM) It is slightly different from the 1.6, but I can't see them clearly as the photo was on my manager's phone. Different as in the appearance look a bit different, not only because of the GPS head unit and the auto air conditioner console. Kinda weird coz Elantra is using the same center fascia around the globe unless SD do something with it Just hope that they won't give us something like this...  |

QUOTE(kekura @ Feb 3 2012, 10:03 PM) For standard unit, the aircond vent will be on the upper side, near the player. But for 1.8, it needs extra buttons for the GPS (need more space) so the aircond vents are moved to the lower part. Elantra MD around the world are using the same aircond vent design regardless of spec. Im just guessing.. Ive seen some version on upper side, some version on lower side. Added on February 3, 2012, 10:05 pmBtw, i wonder what software is in the elantra gps. Papago, garmin, inhouse (like bmw)... Probably same as santa fe, what software is santa fe?

QUOTE(ivn79 @ Feb 4 2012, 03:45 PM) Exactly! High & Normal spec... Most probably they will only update the powertrain and some interior trim... It is impossible for them to make major changes to the exterior coz the car is still very new in the market.Added on February 4, 2012, 3:50 pmHeard that the new Civic 2012 will get a facelift... why? I guess bcoz H already see their lost to this Elantra's Fluidic Sculpture design!  Added on February 4, 2012, 9:47 pm QUOTE(Antzfield @ Feb 4 2012, 04:52 PM) On business trip in Egpyt now. Seen few Elantra on d road. A bit dissapointed with the exterior look and not as nice as in d pictures. Maybe I am having a high expectation with so many good review on d looks as well as from d pictures in the forum. Elantra and Accent RB are very popular in Egypt. However, it sure looks refreshing than the Forte. am still looking forward for the launch in MY. http://bestsellingcarsblog.com/2012/01/28/...elantra-excels/ This post has been edited by caddilac: Feb 4 2012, 09:47 PM |

QUOTE(tunasandwich @ Feb 5 2012, 08:14 PM) the 1.8 also marketed as 'premium' mah..... langsung no consistency this SD.... I also hope to get more airbags instead of sunroof... But i think they are trying to replicate what the Sonata did with panaromic roof because the Elantra will now be the only C-seg sedan with sunroof in our market... guess the premium is meant for the price only haha i say screw the sunroof give more airbags for practicality's sake!!
