Kia Koupe

[tuwato]

the new KiA Koupe. what do you think?

looks good.

The new Kia comes standard with the company's 2.0-liter DOHC fourbanger good for 156 HP and 144 lb-ft of torque, which is reasonable by today's standards. Those looking for more can upgarde to the SX and its larger 2.4-liter inline four putting out 173 HP and 168 lb-ft of torque. Either engine comes paired with either a five-speed auto or six-speed manual transmission.

Gee. No turbo like the one in the concept car?

[albert_b]

I wonder how this matches up with the Hyundai Coupe

[jeanpierre]

Based sa site sa ibaba more powerful than the Honda Civic Coupe, Ford Focus Coupe or Chevrolet Cobalt Coupe ang Forte Koupe. May award din nakuha.

I guess that explains the above 1 million price bracket.

Yong genesis coup na 2.0 with 212HP nasa 1.3M ang price siguro naman hindi aabot dyan ang price ng 2.4 Forte koupe since 173HP lang rating nya. Yong 2.0 Forte koup baka below 1M lang siya

[jaymd]

read the august issue of top gear and the price will be about 1.5M

[albert_b]

but the article also mentions that they will do their best daw to pull it down further. Sana nga maging a little over 1M lang siya :-)

Malamang aalisin nila ang some features like side at curtain airbags at traction control..

Mga 1.2M Pesos to malamang..

[albert_b]

P1.2M is ok na! :-) If they can get it down to that tapos wala naman gagalawin na sa standard package, Kia definitely has a winner here.

I think the front end is reminiscent of the recent CTR (Civic Type R) and the rear of the new Lancer

Matindi pala sana itong koup kung ginamit nila ang engine specs na stated sa site na ito: http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2008/03/kia-koup-concept-with-290hp-20-turbo.html
Baka ayaw nila magtapatan ng Genesis coupe since sister company kaya di itinuloy???

The main advantage of the Genesis Coupe is its RWD and it will always handle better than the FWD Koup.

Any more gossip on this?

If this'll be P1.2M, Genesis Coupe nalang ako, only 200K more.

Hopefully it'll be around the P1M mark, P1.1M maximum - to compete with the high end Focuses, Civics, Lancers etc...
