Somehow I got a feeling Kia is going to go head on competition with the Elantra by selling it between rm96k to rm115k, just a hunch.
A reality Malaysians must wake up to. It's a justified asking price for the latest generation of Korean cars.

If that is true then in my opinion its not worth buying. What is the justification to raise the price of forte from rm86k to the new K3 to rm96k? There is no new technology, just face lift. Are you willing paying rm10k extra for the facelift? If you are, then be my guest but I am not paying a cent extra.

The current generation Forte is actually based on Elantra HD platform.

Elantra HD is not the current Elantra MD, visual clarification this is the Elantra HD

Yes, Forte shares the same platform as this 'hideous beast'

K3 will be using the same platform as Elantra MD, much like how Sonata MF jumped in price to Sonata YF as did the Optima to K5, expect the same with Forte to K3.

We're going to hear a lot of people singing 'If this price, Bye Bye K3' but still end up driving one when it launches.

Yeah, but I got a tight budget. I can't spend more than rm86k on a car.

Doesn't mean the car isn't worth the value. Remember this is a C segment car, where many Japan marque are priced above 100k even for the most basic spec.

Bro, could you let us know the source of this info? Is there a link to any website to verify this info?
Thanks.

It's everywhere on the internet, and using a logical argument, why would most preview of the K3 mention it'll be based on the new Elantra MD platform if the current Forte uses MD's platform? You would be reading 'No changes to the platform it is based on'.

Hard to believe but 'latest model' don't always means 'latest generation technology'.
