QUOTE(amduser @ Mar 30 2009, 06:47 PM) inside look nice, wonder wat's the spec of this car The exterior design of Kia Forte is designed by Peter Schreyer....the out look  is that a civic? Before his job in Kia, he is the one who designed the first generation Audi TT and Volkswagen Concept R...  I like his design, because his design emphasize on clean lines, not complicated ones like Bangle This post has been edited by Kampung2005: Mar 30 2009, 07:05 PM |

QUOTE(-YellowSn0w- @ Mar 30 2009, 07:10 PM) omg is cerato , look like curi design from Honda civic US edition ? Why curi when the guy designed it, has designed Audi TT and VW before....Anyway, since the Chevrolet Cruze that will come to Malaysia will have 6 speed automatic transmission, hopefully that will compel Naza to bring at least 5 speed automatic transmission, as this is the best that the Kia offers in Forte |

QUOTE(finkl1 @ Mar 30 2009, 08:37 PM) It's possible the car to price from RM$65k as base model...but this is going to be of a manual transmission, while the auto would go 5-8k more range. I doubt the starting price will be RM 65K or so...so likely, the car would be an alternative to local and japanese cars. Singapore has 3 variant: EX, SX and Premium. Likely, only 2 variant might come in...and if Kia was smart...a manual transmission would be good. I read this is a DOHC Gamma engine...so at 122hp @6300rpm, the FC test would be challenged. However, on spirited driving, with proper suspension+reinforced bars...it's gonna be a nice car to drive on open roads. Just gotta see if the noise insulation is good. Best of luck Kia. This is because, Kia Forte is a C-segment car, meaning it is the same class level as Hyundai Elantra (its cousin), Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic... |
