Kia Forte is Debut Model of 2011

Kia Forte has been awarded Debut Model of the Year at the 2011 Frost & Sullivan Malaysia Excellence Awards. For Forte enthusiasts, this is quite an ego boost.

It’s like a big “yes” to our purchase decision. It affirms the fact that the Kia Forte is great looking and dependable, two fundamental reasons why it’s so popular with car buyers.

Never mind that the car has poor rear shocks and springs.

Now, if only the hybrid version is available, it may end up being a popular choice as well.

Unfortunately, there are still issues pertaining to Approved Permits for bringing hybrids into the country, and I can’t help but think that it has to do with protecting Proton again.

Goodness, if that’s true, enough already! It’s high time that Proton comes out with it’s hybrids. If it’s slow to do so, then consumers should not be made to suffer.
