me too 

If 1.8 price is more than 100k
I'll cancel the car's booking and fill up money refundable form

HQ Glenmarie. Booking is refundable.
Just to make sure I am one of the first who drove 1.8 elantra, but if the pricing is right for me 
If not I still happy with my Forte
do not misunderstand me. Now I'm trying to psycho hyundai malaysia. Haha
Try to send message to them to reduce a profit margin but then will earn more sale

Chev Cruze 1.8 not a bad option at 98k.

Dont opp for 1.6, it's a bit underpower, 2.0 used the engine same as Inspira and Lancer.

Suree Elantra migth be an awesome car... infact I'm very impressed with Hyuundai quality so far after clocking over 150,000km on mine.

However... a Toyota that cost about 15k more then my hyundai when i bougth it new... now... 2nd hand value is worth 30k more then my car. So I lost quite abit...

I dont forsee this changing since Malaysian mindset is still T&H = Godly

This is REALLY making reconsider getting another Hyundai cause I'm not goign to hug and drive that car for 20 years... and I dont like losing 15~20k when I wanna trade in my car in the next 4~5 years..

I can foresee the sales of Forte will shoot up if the new Elantra pricing is on the high side.
I for one, will seriously consider Forte 2.0 if Elantra is above 110k.As far as I know , Forte 2.0 lose out to Elantra on the following:
1) No sunroof (which is not important to me)
2) Electric seat
3) Design
4) Built in GPS
5) FC, not too sure but could be.

But on the other hand Forte wins on :
1)Airbags (6 vs 2)
2)Paddle shift
3)Cheaper

sonata 2011 showroom car 115k, elantra price @110k how =="

Takign things abit OT here :
It depends on your target market, if you are buying cars like Evo X, Subaru's etc, its so much cheaper in Singapore its not even funny. But if you are buying a regular 1.8 sedan, then depending on the current COE price, u might or migth not be able to afford the car. You also have the option to try your luck and bid SGD1 for the COE every year, u might get lucky.

As for car appreciating... it happened to a friend who bought his Legacy GT aroudn 2 years back.

That being said, if you are really cash strapped, go renew it for 5 yrs and then scrap it lor. I did that for one of my bike (but I managed to sell it to some Msian who is riding aroudn without insurance....)

ps : If you live/work in both Msia/Singapore you will know car is much more affordable in Singapore. if I get paid 15k per month in RM here.. if I go down to SG I will get the same 15k but in SGD! Case in point.. a fellow trader is driving a new Z4 in SG.. she bought it for around SGD240k, i get paid around the same but since I'm in Msia.. no way in hell I can afford the RM550k price tag 

YOu much rather Msia develop into SG standard or Thailand standard?

No paddle shifter, but I think Elantra can be fitted with aftermarket shifters.

Usually if you see accessories found in oversea Elantra but not on the Inokom Elantra, it is almost certain that they can be fitted with these stuff also, there will be unused mounting points and sockets all over the car for accessories we will not be getting.

i wait for the price. if too expensive, then go for forte.
