Aww... The cry baby is happy after the 2 brothers of yours come cheer you up.
1) older generation 5AT lacks technology to build bigger stronger gear to match manual transmission, the auto 5th gear is smaller than its manual counterpart 4th and 5th gear. That is adding 1 smallest gear at the back. Anyone knows this metaphorically. Unless your brain cannot compute and take it literally. Like when people calling you otak kering or otak udang, you think literally where got your brain dry or prawn in brain.

2) the 50kg difference in original lancer GT 2007-2012 kerb weight 1398kg vs p1 lancer  2.0 1355kg, I have posted the specs from Malaysia and Thailand model which kept your 2 brothers quiet and more anxious to know where is it. I chose not to tell them so that my friend's original lancer GT remain precious and special since no lancer can convert into lancer gt.

The Koreans afraid that new rise Sonata will scare people away from buying car with such short lifespan. So the Koreans said it's a facelift, look interior ugly centre dash still same, this is FL. Anyone can tell the front , rear are totally different. FL normally come up with just different lights, grille, bumper at most. Not until whole front and rear unibody also different, that is not facelift but redesigned. Vios 2003 vs vios dugong, both same chassis, do you call that facelift?

My comment on turbocharger activates, you know I am referring to the wastegate valve. This is the general term used in automotive when explaining to public that mostly don't understand what is wastegate. Beginner level automotive book and technical person would use such word instead of jargon. Which is why the maxus g10 owner understood what I said, he done the test and put you to shame. So how come he knows and understand?

There's another Optima GT thread created by Korean supporter for mainly propaganda talk. This Optima GT thread is for open debate, brainstorm and discussion for all parties. If there's no point debating with me then why are you here? Can you prove all my comments are lies? The only thing that drags you down are more customers having too much knowledge and information. Unless you're with certain company products that you find too many smart customers threatening, otherwise there's no reason for you to be so desperate asking admin to remove all comments.

Success of online advertisements depend on number of different viewers. You can compare my Optima thread vs the other propaganda only Optima thread, how come my viewers and traffic far higher. Because public wanted not just pros and cons but other information and ways to evaluate cars.

You said stick to topic but never posted relevant car talk comments. You already violated your own suggestion from beginning. So how many Optima GT being bought by genuine individual that has link to any of the subsidiary nor personnel so far and paid using own hard earned money? You can see VW at that price on the road. The lower sales volume Volvo V40 too can be seen on the road. Where is Optima GT?

The Koup 1.6T that is priced lower, there's rarely 1 on the road. The Civic turbo with similar price plenty on the road. VW Jetta 1.4T when priced at rm140k, you can see numbers of them on the road too. What does this tell you?
