Another great product from the Koreans and is going to give the jap a run around..

Heard from the SA is only the 1.6 coming in and not sure of pricing yet and is going

to replace the current Spectra..

this car have that old Citroen xantia profile which i like very much. simple clean and macho abit.

I have a launch date of 20-something November 2009. 3 models; 1.6 base, 1.6 high-specs and 2.0 high-specs.

The high-specs are going to offer specs better than that of a Camry 2.0 and maybe even the 2.4V

6 airbags
6-disc CD player with iPod plugin
ABS, BAS, TCS and ESP
Auto headlamps
Leather
Audio controls on steering wheel
Cruise control

If the Theta II engine is offered with the 2.0 model (instead of the Theta I), it will be the most powerful 2.0 NA engine in the Malaysian market (excluding the Civic Type R).

Some possible negatives:
4-speed gearbox
Torsion beam rear suspension

Pricing should start at RM75k for the 1.6 base. RM83k for the 1.6 high-spec and RM93k for the 2.0 high-spec.
