We should be pretty much aware of which cars are not performing up to par and not getting much ground in the market today. The list has a lot of familiar brands and the latest car model that has been added to that list is the Proton Persona from Malaysia.

The Proton Persona (four sold), Mitsubishi Shogun Sport (three), Kia Cerato (two), Maserati Spyder (two) and MG ZS (two) were among the contenders for the worst-selling unused car in Britain award, but the joint winners (one sale apiece) are the Chrysler Neon, Daihatsu Charade, Dodge SRT-10, Ferrari SuperAmerica, Fiat Croma, Hummer H2, Hyundai Terracan, Hyundai Trajet, Rover 75, CityRover, Smart Cabrio and Tata Safari.

If one of these models was sold and registered to you as a new vehicle between January and December last year, congratulations. You landed yourself one of the most exclusive cars of 2008.

After the Kia Soul now comes the Cerato Forte. Though it was launched only locally in Singapore expect this model to go global some time soon. The Kia Cerato is available in EX and SX models.

It measures 4530mm long, 1775mm wide and 1460mm high with a wheel base of 2650mm, making it slightly longer than the Hyundai Avante by 30 mm. It is also lower in terms of height by about 30mm which helps give it a sportier stance. Wheelbase is similar with the other Korean car. The Forte is also 30 mm longer, 40 mm wider and 10 mm lower than its predecessor.

Price wise, the EX with a 1.6 liter engine starts from S$ 41,000 (for manual) and S$ 44,000 (for automatic) while the SX starts from S$ 44,000 (for manual) and S$ 47,000 (for automatic). The 2.0 liter on the other hand starts from S$ 50,000 (for manual) and S$ 53,000 (for automatic). The Cerato Forte will be available at Cycle & Carriage Kia showrooms after February 20th.
