Y Hyndai & KIA model similar with VW & Audi?
I was made to understand Korean get same designer with VW & Audi, so that their design so attrative.
Honda & Toyota didn't design themselves but they out source to designer company to do so.
May be bcoz of that, it happened to be the same
Anyhow, T & H the designer always emphasis on DNA (T&H)

But Altis 2014 look more sexy & it is a waited model

Hi Viking Kong,
Aft quite sometimes silent, no sound no pic.
As I informed u previously. All New Altis is excellent & Superb,
Now u only realised.

Anyhow, it is not too late
All New Altis ll be lauched soon, expected Jan 2014 bcoz current Altis clearance with off RM12K (dealer & Toyota)

I wish to make correction from your info
Current Altis price
1.8E RM115K off 12k = RM103K
1.8G RM125K off 12k = RM113K
2.0V RM132K off 12k = RM121K

For All New Altis, the price unconfirm yet, bcoz Gov ll announce new NAP (National Automobile Plan).
Assuming no ammendment in NAP, the All New Altis ll be
1.8E RM118K
1.8G RM128K
2.0V RM135K
There is no such of 2.0G, unless u buy 1.8G & change the sticker to 2.0 & remain G at the back

Anyway, once All New Altis launched, Gen9 will offered big, big Rebate or DIE
Honda Gen 9.5 also ready to launch once all new Altis kick their ass
whatever new civic launch, as long as it is Gen 9 or 9.5, it is not well accepted in western, US. India & China... even Japan people also cant accept low grade material & ugly design (front City & Rear Persona)

Jangan Marah

I think it consider official bro bcoz i have a softcopy on that document from umw toyota. The paper stated, DO NOT DISTRIBUTE OR MAKE COPY. That y i dont attach here. I takut kena saman. Hehe

This is repaint Civic cost RM7K++
It took abt 3 mths to repaint
They took out pieces by pieces like factory
Better quality compare to original paint
Very senior citizen with great experince
Most of the expensive car, including Istana' car

Traditional primitive marketing strategy
Deposit Now & Jan 2014 before CNY get the car
Say RM2,000 x30 pax, SA ll get RM60,000 & deposited in FD with 3.2% return
Tiba-tiba, Toyata said, Feb 2014 launch.....
anyhow, no worry Toyota ll bring the prototype before Xmas bcoz current Altis cleared
For marketing strategy, by CNY customers ll managed to get all new altis to show off
1.8E
2.0E (not G), naked spec
2.0V
mid 2014 they ll lauched
1.8G
2.0G

Civic SI ll be in Msia soon but I dont like

Civic not from malacca. Thai la bro.
If Thai produce new civic FL then msia we get oso. If u search on thai website, there's no concrete indicator that thai will produce new civic FL.
Dont worry, new altis still cannot beat civic fb. The best new altis only available for 2.0V model with 137k tag price. Expensive. Other altis model...so call empty car.
If u want 1.8,  civic and altis same price with same empty car. Go for altis la..spacious and ada rupa.

For time being, 2.0 is a wise choice.
I rather buy 2014 honda city high spec or proton preve than civic 1.8.

just shift to s mode when in jam and the engine wont auto stop! Thats what i usually do .

Geek8585,
I'm not a fb or fd owner. Hehe. maybe just like u.
I plan to buy a civic after NAP announce.
I already consider 1.8,hybrid,2.0 before tis.
1.8 115k tag price is ok if Honda include all accesories. Do u want to spend 115k for empty car?
Agree with u on hybrid. Price tag is ok. Features on par with 2.0 but we need consider other bad point on hybrid.
As i said before, if ur budget for 1.8, maybe u can consider 2014 altis 1.8 or other car below 100k with full accesories. Just my opinion.

the first time i sent, they suspect due to paddle lock that i put at brake paddle. that i put at accessories but suggested by honda salesman. so, already removed. the second time it happen, they did reset the edu, the trouble code and that's all, according to them nothing is wrong..no charge. then it happen again the third time, this time i was driving at third lane…luckily the traffic was not heavy, i managed to stop at roadside before it suddenly dead..plan to send to honda again but if they keep on saying the same thing, what u all suggest me to do? any opinion? really feel headache with this problem, coz I'm planning for long distance travel with family. afraid the same thing happen again, quite dangerous lah, suddenly cannot accelerate then engine just die off like that.

It has been raining for almost 8 hours and today I encountered the working of VSA through the steering response and the warning light on the meter console when my right front wheel went through a deep puddle of water travelling at speed of about 80km/h. Cheers.

Yes u are right Bro,
H & T very good in resell.

Last 07/2011 my bro he bought Altis
RM132K (took out discount & insurance RM6k) RM126K
Done 33,000km & last week he sold RM91K (still in the process Puspakom)
126k-91K = RM35K/30 mths (RM1,166)

My friend bought Mazda 3 (RM120K) excluding insurance, sold 10/2012 at RM80K
RM120K-RM80K = RM40/18 = RM2,200

Actually I wanted to wait for fresh Gen 9 (FB) bcoz Gen 8 (launched end 2005), many years
When Thailand launched (I shock to see City Head & Persona Tail), I then decided to get Gen 8 FL
At that moment Sept 2012, many people still place an order for Gen 8 FL
Culturally, end of life cycle should be huge discount (like CRV RM13K off, Altis RM12K off)
Gen 8 FL, 0 discount
In fact we are Not sure can get it or not bcoz many people still asking for Gen8 (due to Thailand website of Gen 9)

I drive Gen8FL for about a year (done, below 19,000km)
Everytime I send to SC, many Honda staffs, including SA was offering to buy
According to SA, the demands for Gen8FL is very hot & hard to sell FB (failure in demands)
Sorry, not intent to insult FB users, but this is what happened

According to SA & many of my friends, Gen 8 very successful in design bcoz very long life cycle (2005-2012) 7 years in the market without changing the model (structure) & yet new FB also cant win people heart.
The demands for Gen 9 still great (never happened in the human history, except Saga 1985-2005 (20 years) or Wira 1992-2008 (16 years) but that is a national targeted lower end for those has got no choice).

Honestly, I never put HONDA in my heart or in my head (hahaha)
I really don't like this brand of H bcoz of many reasons.
In Japan, many of Japanese appreciating Toyota & proud of T (many reasons)

I normally ll buy a car with a fresh design, not end of life cycle but it happened TERBALIK....
What should I say is, I always lie to myself that FD is ugly
No matter how ugly I say to myself & my friends, lie is lie & always lies

Finally the reality is I ending with owning Honda Civic Gen 9
I really like the design even though it is expired design
I like the performance of 2.0 iVtec with Twin Cam
Lower position, when I inside the car, people can't see me easilly from out side
But when u talk about Comfort, I don't really feel that Comfort compared to Altis
I experience once as Vios 2010 passanger, suprisingly I feel the comfort even though that is B segment
I dont really feel that i my FD, C segment

Now I am thinking to convert to type R or Mugen RR
Acc shop told me, the advantage of Gen 8 is a transformer, can chance to Type R or Mugen RR with a budget abt RM2K (RM2K can make a new toy from out side) but FB cannotlah.... dissadvantage

Now I say to myself, may be this is the 1st & the last I drive Honda
Next round should switch back to T brand for comfort & better design (affordable price)
Even though Mazda 3 skyactiv is my lover but worry about resell
May be if I am rich enough, I get C200 lah.....
