Looks like the Chinese market is the place to be for new car launches in the actual showrooms. Case in point…the new Kia Forte which replaces the forgettable Spectra (remember?). The new car will launch with 1.6l and a 2.0l petrol engines. No word yet if a diesel will be offered in the future.

On the inside, there’s a USB and auxiliary port, steering wheel mounted controls, new red backlighting, and a “Start” button. Really does pay to be world’s largest car market….

Which begs another question…where is the Chevrolet Cruze? A car that was supposedly designed ahead of the Forte?
