This is my opinion. K3 price will be significantly higher by at least 10-15K. It is not in the same price bracket as Forte, hence I do not forsee any further drop of price for Forte. Besides, the sales for Forte is still going strong, and by the time K3 is launched, the stock for Forte may be limited already. Hence, any force selling or fire sales may not be necessary. Just my 2 cents.
If K3 1.6 price is more than 100k, I rather buy Elantra instead.
Just back from Kia Red Cube PJ, one of the SA in confident says that K3 will launch around June or July if delay maybe around August. the SA said that the current Forte production will end soon. So for those interested in current Forte, better booked it now. The Sa also said we can placed a booking for K3. Maybe I will placed my booking at end of this month for 2.0/1.8 SX
