shake hand* yet so many hype about value. i guess the only thing forte stands for is cheap.

if follow malaysian automotive standards, yes. since we have gtr and panameras flocking the road.

another spammer directing their links.

have fun waiting, SD pulling another 'Elantra' on us. went to showroom today and asked about veloster and guess what, estimated launch August and price around 130k. owh yeah. from q1 to q3. SD should be called Slow Darby.

anyway, gf's bro confirmed everything and finally when we asked if delivery's possible and the faggot said, actually you need to wait for 2nd batch, first batch are for those who have 'booked' way before. we expected that though. dint had a chance to test drive but i did 'molest' the car and built quality aint that bad, even compared to the civic but somehow, lost the oomph that i had for the car. now the interior looks, plain.

yeah, the SA kinda noob. know nothing. he din't want to give discount cause he said they did not get the 'margin or whatever' yet. cant remember. my gf's bro said discount 1000, shut up and take my money . he agreed but he said it will not be certain (discount) until the launch?? dint it launch already? i dint care much la, he did the talking i was there molesting the car. i was only there to enquire about veloster.
no turbo, only the same "underpowered" 1.6 which alot of review said that too in veloster forums. but apparently 0-100 is good, under 9 secs. if 130k, i doubt it will sell. only advantage it has over CR-Z is back seats and of course, 3 doors design lol.

maybe, MAYBE la, 'gomen' trying to adjust their price again hahhahaha. or SD actually plans to wait after election in case car tax will be removed? (yes i know SD GLC) just some wishful dreaming lol.

No official figures yet but quite a number on the streets. Even during the initial launch, bookings were more than expected

the reason why it is struggling in america is because, they thirst for raw power, and CR-z lacks that they expect it to be a 911 carrera hybrid.

Added on April 2, 2012, 9:22 amjust saw another one in silver on my way to office. apparently waiting time for CR-z is at least 2 months. the wait could be caused by fully import as well. i wonder whats gonna happen when government removes the subsidies for hybrids. maybe by that time we have our Preve Hybird.

apparently most of the owners in malaysia are under 30, so i think youngsters dont care much bout rear seats as passenger one is enough, IYKWIM. ive joined them in their FB group trying to korek infos

dude, i dont see FREED selling well. and to me its a more good looking brother from the same mother.

Added on April 2, 2012, 9:30 amrear seats one of the points as well but i snooped in veloster forum and alot regretted because the lack of power. CR-z has a better acceleration but race from 0-100 crz won by just a fraction of seconds. i was kinda inclined to try out veloster but i guess with that price tag and hyundai brand, i don't have the balls to try it out yet.

different market i guess. they like trucks over there while over here trucks are considered rare compared to others. overall, it won probably because of the rear seat. well, they were planning on a better performance crz too, but no idea if its still going on. another thing is, it doesn't handle quite well according to the forum and reviews.

lol i have no idea but most probably they did test drive but thats what they say in forums i guess what they are saying is, when it needs to be 'pushed' then perhaps it doesnt produce the power they expect.

the SA told me, normally this kind of 'SPORTS CAR' won't be so cheap like cr-z because they get tax exemption. lol i asked him 1.6 is sports car ar? myvi turbo also can tabao lol. 130k, i buy CR-z use 20k put in super charger. i told him isnt it supposed to be between elantra as 1.8 elantra is 112 only. he was like, no la. different car. veloster more fast, sports car. actually i get this alot from Honda salesman too, they keep saying crz is a sports car.

if you bought myvi,kancil or even vios to race, i feel sad for your daddy.

to me it could be true as well, as the biggest portion of the buyers are out there, not in the forums but by increasing the price, it would be a terrible mistake. look at sonata, the sales are dropping. this fluidic trend doesnt last long. at the end of the day, business is business. would you increase the price for rice during war or would you sell it cheaper to the beggars?

the problem is with the amount of people talking and bashing here, only 2-4 are the ones who will end up or actually can afford buying it.

K5 owners will hunt you down for that statement

i guess im the one of the few that thinks that forte should actually belong to b-segment lol (yada yada personal opinion). if you put forte and elantra side by side, it looks like a blinged chihuahua beside a 'majestic' tigress.
