Also, the Kia Koup will be launching sometime this year too. Will it come in 4-speed or 6-speed transmission? From the webpages the Kia Koup seems to be equipped with a manual transmission and 4-speed only.

So it is indeed true that the 6-speed Forte is already rolling out. Not really interested in the Forte but more to the new Hyundai Avante.
How much is the Koup, and does it come in 1.6?

Forte 1.6
0-100km/h 11.5s vs 12s
FC highway 14.6km/L vs 14.3km/L
Forte 2.0
0-100km/h 9.8s vs 10.5s
Best thing about the 6-speed is that it comes with nice wrap on the knob like BMW style steptronic. If it has dual CVVT, that'll me real angry. But it doesn't, still same CVVT probably to give way to Hyundai Avante.

Care to post the link to the times above? 9.8s appears to be rather impressive for the 2.0. What is the top speed of this thing?

Bro...the Sylphy is using a CVT transmission, thts why there's a short gap..normal for all CVT transmission (prev city, Jazz, new Altis, Lancer..etc)....Forte using the shared 6 speed gearbox currently used by Kia and its parent co (ie Hyundai...)
