The New BMW 5-Series Gran Turismo
The new BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo, a car with a combination of coupé-like silhouette to the luxurious interior of a BMW 7 Series, while at the same time giving the functionality of a BMW 5 Series Touring or X5.
The car was firstly introduced at Geneva Motor Show 2009 as a BMW Concept 5 Series GT.
It has dimensions mimicking in length the 7-series, a height and trunk space slightly more than the 5 series wagon, and headroom comparable to the BMW X5. The concept was equipped with individual rear seats separated by the center console, whereas the production model will have 5 seats.
The BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo is available in four-seat Executive or five-seat SE configuration.
There are three type of models of BMW is offering, 530d, 535i and 550i.
BMW 530d GT is powered by 2,993cc six-cylinder car features third generation common-rail direct injection with piezo injectors for the best in diesel refinement and efficiency. Producing 245hp at 4,000rpm, the 530d accelerates from zero to 62mph in 6.9 seconds before going on to a top speed of 149mph. The peak torque of 540Nm from just 1,750rpm provides smooth yet swift progress in any gear. Fuel economy is exceptional with a combined fuel consumption figure of 43.5mpg and CO2 emissions of 173g/km.
Joining the diesel-powered car is the BMW 535i GT. This 2,979cc six-cylinder powerplant is the first ever to combine a single turbo with VALVETRONIC - BMW’s system that varies how much the engine’s valves open for optimum efficiency. This partnership ensures the car meets the latest stringent emission regulations while offering optimum performance. The 306hp BMW 535i GT also features High precision direct injection technology for added efficiency. The performance credentials of the car are underscored by a zero to 62mph time of 6.3 seconds and an electronically-limited top speed of 155mph. Consumption and emissions figures are impressive with 31.7mpg on the combined cycle and CO2 emissions of 209g/km.
Topping the range is the BMW 550i GT. Powered by an acclaimed 407hp 4,395cc V8 engine with twin-turbo technology, the 550i GT offers near supercar performance with a zero to 62mph time of 5.5 seconds and an electronically-limited 155mph top speed. Its twin-turbochargers provide a near flat torque curve to provide relaxed yet rapid in-gear acceleration. Peak torque of 600Nm is on hand from 1,750rpm through to 4,500rpm. The BMW 550i GT records a combined consumption figure of 25.2mpg and CO2 emissions of 263g/km.

Perodua MPV spotted in Malaysia
A MPV based on Toyota Passo Sette is rumoured to rebadge as Perodua in Malaysia. The car is to compete with Proton Exora in Malaysia. The pricing is rumoured to be priced at below 70k, not bad indeed.
If the feature and quality of the car is good, I am sure the car will flood Malaysian road. Just like Perodua Myvi. The car will be powered by the 1.5 liter engine(DVVT) , 109 PS at 6,000rpm and 141Nm of torque at 4,400rpm.
The car is expected to be launch around September-October this year
And some shot of Toyota Passo Sette for your refference :

Kia Forte - Spectra Replacement Model
Most likely the Kia Forte will come into Malaysia market before end of this year to replace Kia Spectra. Kia Forte is a C segment car and it is based on the Kia Cee'd which is targetted in European market. Hopefully this beauty machine will price at a reasonable price tag.
Kia Forte will have a similar platform with New Hyundai Elantra. The car is powered by 1.6 liter petrol (CVT, 16V, 121bhp @ 6,200rpm, 153Nm @ 4,200rpm).
The car is expected to price around 70k++, with this kind of pricing, who would say no? I think the only thing from stopping Malaysian ppl from buying this car is the resale value. I am surely wouldn't mind to park this machine in my car porch if the price is reasonable.
