Happy CNY to everyone,

I think Forte 6-speed gearbox already launched in Singaland. All Forte and Koup are fitted with conventional 6-speed gearbox as shown on specs.

Forte 1.6
0-100km/h in 11.5s improved by half seconds from 12s
FC highway at 14.6km/L compared to current at 14.3km/L

Forte 2.0
0-100km/h in 9.8s compared to current at 10.5s

The engine remains the same, no dual CVVT. If got means even better FC and performance.

There are these Korean brothers that are engineers from Korea run pink workshops in Sunway and Puchong. In case there are headache issue, you may try them though they are slightly expensive but no difference from SC price. I think they have Master or PhD in engineering and they fix non Korean cars as well.

Question: Why pink workshops? What's that?
There are no lousy cars. Only better cars.

Hi gregy,

I called them pink workshops because they painted their workshops pink. Maybe Koreans like pink colour? Luckily they do not have pink colour option in Korean cars.

it is already in naza showrooms and bookings can be made already. no difference much, except for the 6sp AT and reverse camera incorporated in rear view mirror.

add 3K to the price but still nice.


the wing mirror signal design is different too being slimmer than the old design. i think there is a subtle difference in the rim design as well.
Let's talk about driving again!

Hi gregy,
So far haven't seen them wearing pink. Else, the technicians and mechanics from workshops nearby would stare at the 2 Korean brothers.

Hi Gen2White,
Nice. I think that's why they painted their workshops pink.

Ya I'd think they would end up being labeled by the other workshops if they ever wore pink and operated a pink workshop LOL smile.gif

Hi gregy,
Too much pink might be sued by pink panther.

Hi DSAI,
I know there is this genius wireman that runs workshop that is just a shelter with booths behind Armada hotel, at the corner of that L driving lesson proving ground. Does this shelter consider Kedai bawah pokok?
