Something’s in the air, a contest possibly tied to an upcoming car launch. Reader YF Chong sent us a mail with a link to a site called What Is Project C – apparently, there’s a contest to hazard a guess as to what Project C is, with the answer to be known later this month.
So how do we know it might be about a new car? Well, there are five clues to help you guess, and four have already been revealed; these kind of steer things in – the first a rocket and a countdown (to launch, yes?), the second a dateline (07.2013, which would make it July), the third containing elements of the South Korean flag and the fourth an outline of a car. Guess the last one sort of cements it.
Up to be won is what is termed “an innovative prize worth RM100,000,” which could mean the vehicle itself. In terms of car launches coming up, the likelihood is that this is a contest involving the Kia Cerato.
The car has already been spotted undergoing type approval, so we know it’s here, and in all likelihood the remaining clues shoehorns it in: Korean, starts with a C, that sort of thing (guess we also know it’s launching in July then).
Whatever the case may be, the size of the prize isn’t to be sneered at, so if you’re intrigued by what Project C is all about and fancy snaring the potential RM100k catch, this is where you can find out more.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
so the price of the car is around RM100k?
my colleague sold his 1yr plus forte with $20k value loss. Not meant to compare, but for me who is from middle income, and plan to upgrade car in future, it brings certain impact to me.
Can you show me any car which appreciate in value after 1yr of ownership?
Please grow up bro, car is a depreciating item, if you want a less depreciating vehicle, get a motorcycle then!
Of course im not talking about value appreciation here unless you are buying some vintage cars. Compared to Vios,forte would have a larger or double depreciation expense each year.
chill out,hings is not about depreciating it’s about how much it will depreciate.

MY 1year Grand Livina loss RM25k… same goes to Japanese brand…
first year depreciation is often the hardest.
The website seems to be hung at Clue 2. If they can’t even come out with a properly-working site, it doesn’t speak well of the upcoming Kia Cerato at all.
100k only?? Worth the money, this car sure very beautifuul and an eye catcher some more.
The “car” clue looks an MPV. New Carens / Citra? Also starts with a “C”…
I don’t know what Project ‘C ‘is but I know about Project ‘IC’ mentioned in the Sabah RCI recently. :-)
For a moment I was reading ‘Project IC’.
Lots of Proton fanboys can only dream if Preve become Cerato instead…
Excuse me, Cerato has turbocharged engine or only GDI which is not really practical to use here?
100k? Rmbr janji 505? U r supposed to reduce price.
if 100k, i assume it will be the lowest variant? i.e. 1.6
I wonder where is Sam Loo
Looks like project C is something from KIA. Is it cerato, cadenza, or carens?
Project Crap…. Japan n euro car have better resale value. The most important buying a car is to consider resale value, so that we can change car more frequent. Not necessary for gov to reduce any tax.
Forgot about it la, freebie is for poor people. Toyota owner pls dont downgrade yourself participate in this low class game.
behold hidden page of Kia Malaysia

QUALITY PRODUCTS FROM KOREA NOW..NOT JAPAN…THE WORLD BECOME MORE FUN
oh yeahh..the nut has left its skin aside ;-)
well, they’ve forgotten that Malaysians chose Forte due to the fact it is stuffed with RM100k++ tech with the insanely affordable price tag… now??? even coming mazda 3 and sylphy will come out with better technology as in engine and transmission wise, they cant stand a chance to such fine cars
