not so sure about RPM but my guess is it chok cos of you downshift? upshifting shouldnt cause that kind of problem if not mistaken...

Downshift sure jerk la, its normal. Unless you drive nissan 370z then different story

Many people has been talking bout this recently, but if you looking forward to get a new car do you think is possible to wait for it to implement.. or can i said will this happen??

For the owner that already bought a new forte I think the more important thing is we enjoy the car.
I believe everyone here have the same perception we buy car is to enjoy the ride, we not buying a car to sell.

If this really happen it only effect us few years later.. but what going to happen on that time, no body can predict.

nov 2009 to be exact...
nope... no tax at all, car price still high coz dealer profit...
govt will tax the dealer so to ensure the dealer has same profit like now, they'll increase their car price...
and normally car price is subject to govt approval so the higher the car price, the govt will happy to approve...
example :-
car price 40k, bla bla tax, 40k, dealer profit 40k = total 120k
car price 40k, no tax at all, dealer profit mark-up to 80k coz need to pay to govt 40k = total 120k
see... no different...
in bolehland, we call it gali lubang tutup lubang...

Very agreed the points from the article "car is a depreciating liability, therefore it seems rather ridiculous that we have to allocate 20-50% of our monthly income to pay for something that costs less with each passing day". Need not to mention the flat interest rate introduced by finance institute suck more bloods from us compare to properties. End up we paid much more for this depreciating vehicle then the appreciating properties. It never commensurate to what we have invested all this while.

If the car price adjustment is not evitable, at least we still can reduce our loss by:
1. Do not get too high price tag car (higher price u paid, more you loss)
2. Hold your current car long enough so that it depreciated to "Nothing to loss" level.

I think our car met those criteria, as Forte price cheaper than other rivals within same segment (except Proton), and stylish outlook, nice built-up + the security features can make us comfortably last us for few more years.
