nice ! it's definately a head-tuner .

but how come the kia badge is not in the middle of the grill ?

 

 

[Civic93porsche911]

Very nice! Not a big fan of those rims tho.

[Civic93porsche911]

Dont you think it looks nicer with the badge on top ?

 

[Srt911]

hmm.

 

Last Dec > Sorento launched in Sg

This Feb/March > Picanto and Rio launched

This Apr-June > Soul

 

So let C&C breathe a little bit bah. Since the Kia cars tend to arrive in Sg 6 months after their worldwide premiere, expect the Magentis at this October earliest.

i think it looks uber nice.

 

let's hope its a 6 speed gear box with rear a/c

 

fuel consumption at a respectable 9-10km/litre.

 

price 15k below camry

 

then it'll be a seller

the cerato forte/koup is a proven success here. well priced and looks good. kudos to whoever the european designer is.

 

just look ard... what is the best looking 1.5 to 1.6 litre jap/korean 4dr sedan now?? excluding contis...

 

- Lancer: so so.

- Impreza: forget it

- Corolla: same old shape and only a redesign of some panels and interior. not a trustworthy brand anymore

- Latio: IMO, looks like a toaster with a boot and bonnet, and 4 wheels.

- Slyphy: er..............

- Mazda 3: only a trained eye can tell that they're using the same old body shell as well with new overtly designed panels. not really a looker.

- Avante: cerato still looks better

- Civic: Probably the only one that looks better than the cerato forte.

the fog light grill looks like the golf grill. but overall a nice design. looks good

[Tohto]

Very nice. Look a bit like the Passat CC from side view

Too bad, by the time it reach here, COE will be sky high. Will be difficult to sell well

Yeah! Let's wait until 1st April when the car is launched in New York Motorwhos and we will get to see the interior!!

[MadDog70]

This one looks better than i45.

Seems like Kia design is getting better, thanks to the new designer chief.

But if the forte price gets too high one day, I'm sure everyone including me will immediately condemn it

[Whyeme]

if kia can make super fuel efficient, low road tax but powerful engines like VW 1.4 TSI and plonk them into their beautifully designed cars like this 2011 magentis or fortes with lower pricing than VW.... they yiah liao

[Antlau]

yeah better. so that it can be removed more easily....hehe :P

[Darth_mel]

Lexus GS300 clone !

[Porche]
