Speculation No More!

[administrator]

Here it is folks. Apparently the speculation's now over and we've no more need for silly teaser shots — here's the official press shots of the new replacement for the Kia Spectra/Cerato, the 2009 Kia Forte sedan. Our snap judgement? It's not too shabby looking. In fact, in comparison to the Spectra, it's downright hot. Want one? You'll have to wait, the sedan model will supposedly enter the U.S. market by mid-2009 — for now, it goes on sale on August 22nd in Korea. We'll have more info as we get it. For the moment, soak up the silver images we've got below.

Does anyone know if the engine specs are going to be the same on the 2.0 as advertised on the Kia site ?

Nope, according to some inside reports, the engine could have more power than the existing one. Rumours say between 145-160 hp.

We shal soon see. The Forte debuts in S.Korea on 21st of August!
