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.
