If this car is priced around $60K and below, it will hit the Lancer EX sales.

If this car is priced around $60K and below, it will hit the Lancer EX sales. but the many still don't believe in korean technology especially kia. Once you mention Kia, they will say, Good to see not good to eat. So maybe wun affect Lancer EX sales 'that' much...cheaper is always better for consumers though

Once you mention Kia, they will say, Good to see not good to eat. So maybe wun affect Lancer EX sales 'that' much...cheaper is always better for consumers though Precisely, when it is cheaper than Lancer EX, people will go for it and it look nicer and more fierce than the Lancer EX anyway. Once people drive it, they will feel the difference that Korean car is of better built quality than Japanese car. If you have check out other forum like MCF uner the Carens thread, one member who owns a Picnic and when he went to check out and test drive the new Carens. He was very surprised and impressed by the Carens built quality, he also feedback that the Carens built quality is even better than his Picnic.

Brother, no point posting there to debate on the issues as I am already sick of debating there. Let them think the way they want as they are the ones who are loosing out and keeping themselves within their own world.

End of the day, $$ still came out fr ur own pocket. Hack care wat other ppl said, as long as u satisfy with ur monthly pay, got extra $$ on ur pocket, tat should b enough liao. Rather than u spend tones of $$ to pay for wat ppl said then end up u suffer while others looking @ u only.

Guys,
I just check with my SE that New 2009 Cerato will be coming into Singapore around March 2009.
Some of the features will be taken out like the Keyless Entry, Push-Start Engine Start and airbags will be minimized to 1 airbag, 2 airbags for the Premium edition.
Price should be around $58K for launching price.

if using the current G4 engine can squeeze 124hp for the new Forte... hehe.... I think the current cerato can also do it. 14km/l .. I think they must have done quite a bit of slimming....

yucks! I do hate the front grill frame with that 2 chrome portions sticking out...hopefully the final design will not have that! And the rear looks too much like an Avante..but overall the car looks nice and if the improved FC is to be believed, I may be tempted to call Phil and upgrade again in 2 years when my Cerato V2 is 3 years old but then again, I like the V2 so much and as long as it does not give me problems, I do not see myself losing more money to upgrade which was what happened to me in the past 2 upgrades. ;D

Should stick to around $50K or lesser for basic auto configuration.

I can still remember the first Cerato to be launch after the Spectra, launching price is $66K so do expect the price to drop further after some time.

Except for the front grill, its a beauty. Wished they had retained the "Cerato" name though. I mean the Toyota Corolla name has lasted since day 1. I think Kia should have one line that will be passed on from generation to generation. Imagine decades later they still have the "Cerato" model. Myabe by then will run on Hydrogen with solar cells on roof!

alot leh! you can see my car at car park D...heh heh I bought my Sephia for $74K! When I traded it in for the Spectra ($64K) after 3 years, I lost alot but still had a little money left to take back after clearing the loan. When upgrade from Spectra to Cerato, no such thing. Had to top about quite a lot to clear my loan because the scrap value much lower for the Spectra. Now if upgrade to new Cerato V3, will have alot of loan to clear before can even go for $0 10Year plan!
