QUOTE(siewstl @ Feb 20 2013, 05:22 PM) Just curious, why many Fortezen like to mod their stock car, is it will be more expensive to do that ? The car is worth for money, if mod here & there, the car will consider expensive. then straight away buy more expensive car. Any comment ?? To each his own bro..their money their right..hehe

My 2 cents Modding and make up (accessorising) to me is 2 different thing... Most of the so called modding understood by you are merely fall under accessorising... Which is to my understanding the cost is not like a bomb... While to those extreme modders, it is merely for self satisfaction... those poeple who buy expensive GTR still mod their car what...

i do wonder though, should the k3 reach our shores, what would happen to the 2nd hand value of the existing 4 speed fortes'..will it still hold its value?

If the price of K3 really shoots up to the 90 - 100k bracket, I think the old forte rv won't suffer much.

Yaa..i speculate that the 1.6SX K3 will cost no less than 90k & the 2.0SX will be no less than 105k. If the K3 pricing regime is still the same with the current Forte, i will be in deep shock actually. & if my speculation is true, i agree with u that our current Forte second hand price wont suffer much

QUOTE(g88 @ Feb 20 2013, 09:50 PM) you're right, they will be using the existing 1.6 unit with some tweaks namely the Gamma engine with the 1.8 Nu unit from the elantra... somehow they have phased out the Theta II (in my opinion is a crappy engine for a 2.0 N/A) so it might be a good thing..

but bro iz, i don't think they will raise the price too much coz it would directly go headon with Sime Darby, from what we can see their pricing is always higher than KIA's so i think it will still be somewhere around the 8xk-100k price bracket

Or no one will buy RIO.

If that's the case though, i still believe that the K3 price will be on the higher side than the current Forte. Anyway..we will know it sooner or later... P/s : if Forte 2.0 theta II NA engine is crappy, i believe the same engine used in mitsubishi lancer GT is also crappy in your opinion right?
