I think KIA did not imitate from other manufacturers. Peter Schreyer (ex-AUDI designer – worked at AUDI for 25 years) is the Design Director at KIA. That was the reason why KIA forte looks so good in design compared to the older KIA models. Come on guys, koreans putting more time and effort to be at par with other well known makers like T & H (proton! learn2). I heard the engine is very fuel efficient as well. Im interested with the 4 door and if overall package (price, specs) suits well, im gonna get one. Really a model thats amazes me after sometime!

Superb car. Can’t wait to see this model in the market eventhough i’m driving the Kia Spectra now.Too bad can’t change the car too soon due to my spectra is just 10 months old. For those looking for new car,Kia is a good choice,trust me.

i’ll buy one! no matter what, Hundai-Kia development are going strong and better than other.. they produce their car since 1960 and look what they have now.. i like the new design rather than before, hmmm eventhough the “famous” brand like T,H, B, M etc are still copying to each other (if you can study the design deeply)..

Good lookin car… I wish the promo girls showed more skin…

I still remember the first Kia I saw on Malaysian road… the Sephia… Yucks!
that was a hideous lookin car, now look what they’ve become.

Its not hard to believe the sedan version of this car is one of the top sellers in some Europe countries… they’ve caught automotive society by surprise with this one.

I always thought Hyundai is the better one, I guess I’m wrong!

Yes, Kia Forte Sedan 4-doors with manual is best ! I ‘ll get one if the price is affordable =. of course should be below than those of H n T , Kia Forte looks fantastic, nice and sporty car.

Hahaha…..the one & only korean car that attract my intention (also the chicks hehe..). For young exec or aged man with young heart, i think this should enough to tackle urban chicks. KIA much batter send CBU to malaysia market rather CDK in malaysia. However, This Rock man…..
