Official 2011 Koup Pics

From reading his posts it looks like he's had some problems with his Forte pulling to the left and the dealership hasn't been very helpful in resolving the problem.

Sorry to hear that man. If there's another dealer in the area you should try them. I no longer go to my original dealer either because of their poor service.

same as above
I too will no longer take my car to where I bought it

Am I the only person that can't see that website? All I get is a page not found.

Still comes up fine for me. Your ISP not want you to see sites in Korea?

Wow this is great to see. Nav added is huge plus for me. I went to the local dealership to test drive a 2010 koupe this weekend and it was great. Might have to wait just a little longer so I can compare both 2010/2011.

Anybody in Canada know the release date?

The problem with the navigation that comes integrated into cars is it looks like in the end it actually reduces the value of your car at trade in. You've got to remember that technology, as it ages, actually loses value because new tech comes out. In a few years they'll have a "New GPS" or some such and the percieved value from these head units will be "meh". Integrated NAV is ok as it goes, but I kinda don't think it's worth it. Carputers are definitely the way to go and you'll probably end up paying less overall for it anyway and it's more upgradable. Aftermarket simply gives you more options, and the ability to go back to stock when you get rid of the vehicle. Anyway, just my two cents.

I personally do not feel anyone should trade in a car after a couple of years. That's a total waste of money. Just get the car you want and keep it for at least 5 years or more.

I doubt all the 2011 models will have navigation. If they do, it's not a bad thing since it at least would mean you have a reserved spot to mod and add a newer gps down the road. I dislike having to place my gps on my dash on my current car because there is no other place to put it.

I would expect to start seeing the 2011 5-door models very soon (in the next few weeks). I saw one dealer already had the new Sportage even a month ago. As for the Koup, I am hoping it will be out before November. But from what I read, some say it can even come out in January.

^ yeah Topspin i just asked my local dealer today and they told me they are September production cars so they wont be seeing them for a few months here in Canada, he said most likely January
