jtz, once the Coupe, Turbos, and Hatch Gets here, the dealers wount be able to keep a Forte on their lot. They will have automatic waiting lists. The time is now for KIA to do something crazy and unepxected. Maybe have a commercial with a guy in a race helmet driving a Forte on a dirt track squeeling tires doing spins going nuts, and then have the racer hand the keys to one of the parents in a young family. They get into the car, thus ending the commercial.

The color of my car is Bronze. But I don’t get it, I have an SX and Bronze color according to the brochure is only for the EX. But I have an SX. I wonder if someone at the plant goofed up and I’m driving a Forte SX in a color no one else has or the brochure made a mistake.

Mine’s is Titanium. I have everying eccept the leather seats and it was all under $19,000. What color is yours? Hey Greg da chajee, when you are at a red light and there is another car next to you and the light turns green, do you pass them by with your eco light lit? Meaning do you easily pass people by hardly touching the accelerator? I do. After all the neagative articles I read about the 2.4L Forte I don’t know what they’re talking about? My Forte is fast and loves to take off even with the eco light on. And I know the truth now that I own one. Lol, I own a 2010 Kia FORTE SX!!!

I think when the CARS program gets going good and gas prices go up any, Forte sales will take off, especially once all the Spectras are gone.

One other note: HKAG has again outsold Nissan in the US.

I bought a Kia Forte SX. I traded it in for my Optima. When I took it out for a test drive, a group of teens in a spectra was in the next lane and waved and smiled. This car is very fast the 2.4L is and I still have to get used to it. Eventhough my 04′ Optima is a class above the Forte, I really don’t feel like I downsized in interior volume, trunk space nor features. They are very low on stock on the Forte and I was the first to leave the lot in a Forte SX since. I didn’t expect to get the SX I though it’ll be too expensive but it seems to have fit my budget. Oh yeah and I graduate from college next year so I consider this a future graducation present. It’s very very hot. And this is automatic. And the best part about this is it’s rare right now. I’m driving something different and not like something you see on the road every 30 secs. I think it’s so boring seeing the same car every time you turn the corner. I wish this car can stay rare (like the Borrego).

spectra has a $3000 national rebate and the forte has no incentives. people are buying the spectra for 4000 below invoice. At those prices people are not touching the forte.

What is wrong with Forte? It’s been two months since the launch, and it didn’t even break a 1000 yet. Is this dealership problem or advertisement problem?
