I'm leaving that for you to use against City. However, if you do so, it will backfire on you as well since your other models use CVT gearbox that is just as weak. Already stated that I would go for Vios instead of total obsolete Almera and poor reliability/durability City. Both are waste of money to buy, better get used Forte, even the 4AT gearbox is much stronger than the Almera & City.
New Sylphy sales is actually not that good, you really need to pray harder, not play. Comparing City against Almera, the engine alone, the Almera is too weak to pull its chassis that is long. The sluggish City even though torque is poor at low end, it could still generate 145Nm@4800rpm compared to your sluggish Almera 139Nm@4000rpm. When torque is poor, output power PS could compensate by revving harder so in overall, the City is stronger than Almera.
U dumbo Forte is a C segment while Almera & City is B segment, isn't Almera using torque converter, what nonsence u talking about ?

Sylphy is sold as local brand under much cheaper price than competitor in China. Like selling your N-brand at P1 price here, sure can sell in large numbers as majority in China aren't that rich. VW, Chevy, Buick are foreign brands and taxed higher, same goes to Koreans. Whatever result in China is influenced by different policy and pricing. Over here, your Sylphy faces several better competitors and carbuyers here would pick much more carefully. Not to mention, our cars are priced way more expensive than China. Also, the new Bluebird aka Lannia is deemed to replace the Sylphy that you just launched. You think locals will buy a car that is about to phase out soon yet >RM100k?
So, the new Altima is labelled as Teana here because it will use obsolete gearbox and engine for 2.0L? Already done stupid review against Accord under similar price range? Again, taking the highway FC to claim as average FC, downgraded. At least not as City FC anymore like last time, 13.5km/L city (rubbish fake claim) where actual goes below 9km/L.
"We" r selling Almera at a very affordable price while ur laoya KIAsu simply increase price try to match Japanese brand no wonder sales of Cerato totally disaster compare to Forte, All China car need to partner with local assembler, even your laoya Hontai & KIAsu also need to joint venture, reason why ur loaya Hontai use as Taxi because Beijing Co. also happed to own Taxi fleet, no need to create boggy man scare tactics as Lannia just a concept car, already u so envy, why ? when it launch u will dispose ur Forte EX kosong & buy N Brand ? U can't affford..

I'm not but you are. Because you can't accept facts and unwilling to improve. Talk so much, you go buy that Sylphy, don't buy other brands. Then see how your face like when new Lannia launch and replace Sylphy worldwide. You'll stuck with a phased out car after paying >RM100k even after CRA2Y discount + high overtrade for your existing junk even with poor RV also nevermind.
U better start finding a part time job then talking nonsense here, or else u can't save enoght deposit for Lannia after selling ur low resales value Forte EX kosong as it almost worthless by then.

Looks like popcorn's backup is here. N-brand received their local brand recognition in China like P1's Inspira getting to sell as local car that is much cheaper RM83/93k compared to Lancer RM123k. Yes, N-brand China get to sell their products at much cheaper price than any other Japanese/Korean brands.
As for Korean RV for newer generations, their FC already stabilized and right now sits together with Mazda just behind Toyota & Honda. As for your substandard N-brand, it fell way below, can be labelled as Cold Car already. FYI, demand for used unit by those who would buy used cars determine RV. As for conti, even their RV are starting to improve a lot and when confirmed reliable, they would have more stable RV by then.
Ur brain really pop like a corn..
Don't tipu show me how much Slyphy selling in China compare to Altis, Civic ??
Korean RV ... hahahaha 2 years Forte selling 56K (30K hilang)...wakakakaka
Slyphy 1.8 is selling at RMB 140-169K,
Altis 1.8 is selling at RMB 141-159K

Now that you get cars from Thailand, you can't throw that much CRA2Y discount this time unless the car is an old stock. Because the base cost of bringing it in already more expensive. Just like X-Trail that is CBU from Indonesia, you are more stuck with the ori pricing. Copy specs to post here for comparison is not rubbish but as more detailed presentation. No wonder your meeting mostly rubbish talk, if competitor too strong, you bunch of idiots would panic and running scare.
Now "our" car so good specs no need discount also can sell very well.
Already 2nd best selling non national, what competitor..
