Kar_lover Supercharged April 1, 2011 Share April 1, 2011 Yep, the new batch will arrive soon. If you order one now will get end june/ july and it's the same price for more features. Are u sure same price? SE told me about $10k more. If they make it same price they going to have problem with those who bought the earlier batch as they were led to believe the higher spec new batch will be more by $10k. If those buyers had known will be same price, i believe many would have waited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said before in other posts...its not the driver dun want other ppl to know its a kia, rather the driver himself don't like the KIA logo/emblem. U guys are assuming he wants to fool other ppl. Or maybe he just want to fool himself. I also change out all my logos but when anybody ask me wat brand of car i am driving (still not everyone knows koup) i will tell them LOUD & PROUD its a humble KIA. The usual response is "wah! kia now got so nice car ah?". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepblue06 Neutral Newbie April 1, 2011 Share April 1, 2011 KIA should change their logo lah....that will be one single most look forward facelift for all KIA owners across the world. How come Toyota Wish without the usual "T" logo nobody say har? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majordan 2nd Gear April 6, 2011 Share April 6, 2011 i just saw a K5 up close and i must say i have mixed feelings. while the rear is damn fierce, the front looks like its trying to be too many things at the same time - the front design becomes very confusing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melody288 2nd Gear April 21, 2011 Share April 21, 2011 Received SMS from Kia. The K5 SX (premium) now selling at $119,999, reduced by $10,000. COE rebate at $50k. Wonder why this price reduction even before the cars arrive in next 1-2 months? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rm2s 5th Gear April 23, 2011 Share April 23, 2011 K5 is not selling that well, that's why the price has to come down. There is a psychological barrier when someone looking at a $130k cars. Given a choice of Camry and K5, at around the same price, I won't be surprised if Camry is the automatic choice for many. Just imagine if the Forte was sold at the same price as the Altis when it was first launched, would it have been as successful as it is today? Branding takes a long time to build. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
