Welcome

Samsung Electronics, a global leader in the gaming monitor market, introduced its new line-up of groundbreaking curved Odyssey gaming monitors for CES 2020. The new line-up has been completely reimagined with gamers in mind, including radically new curved displays and industry-leading performance features for a whole new way to the game. Performance Monitors That Come In All Sizes Comprised of the G9 model – with an industry-leading 49” display – and the G7, available in 32” and 27”, both Odyssey gaming monitors are completely redesigned and take immersive gaming to the next level. Both monitors feature an extremely deep [CENSORED]ture – the first-ever monitors to possess a high-performance 1000R [CENSORED]tures – and stunning QLED picture quality. The monitor’s superior performances have even been certified by TÜV Rheinland, a leading international certification organization that has awarded Samsung the industry`s first high performance 1000R curved display and Eye Comfort certificate. Gamers can benefit from 1ms response time and 240hz RapidCurve, putting themselves in the middle of the action. Samsung`s newest gaming monitors will support NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatibility and Adaptive-Sync on DP1.4. A 49" Monitor With A 240Hz Refresh Rate And HDR The G9 is the world’s first Dual Quad High-Definition (DQHD; 5120×1440 resolution) gaming monitor to feature a rapid, 240Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, 32:9 aspect ratio, a deep and immersive 1000R [CENSORED]ture, and a peak brightness of 1000 cd/m2. The monitor features Quantum dot technology combined with an HDR1000 VA panel to produce lifelike colors in vivid detail. The combination of quick response time and refresh rate along with industry-leading 1000R curve eliminates distractions and lag time, creating ultra-smooth screen transitions for critical gaming moments where a split second could mean the difference between winning and losing. The G9 has a striking new design with a glossy white exterior and a futuristic infinity core lighting glowing rear core, which includes 52 colors and five lighting effect options. The design and lighting effects stand out from the competition and complement any gaming setup. QLED Screen With A Quick Response On Smaller Models Gamers will appreciate that the G7 has the same quick response time and refresh rate, deep curved display, and overall performance of the G9, in smaller 32” and 27” models. The G7’s Quad-High Definition (QHD; 2560×1440 resolution), 16:9 aspect ratio and HDR600 VA panel are complemented by a 600 cd/m2 peak brightness. Additionally, the G7’s QLED screen with Quantum dot technology provides an exceptionally wide range of accurate color reproductions that stay crisp and clear even in bright light. The G7 has been completely redesigned with a sleek, matte black exterior and color-changing rear core lighting that can remain static or dim during gameplay, as well as change colors based on gamers' preferences. In addition, the G7 has added dynamic shapes and lighting to the monitor's front bezel. Both monitors have also been redesigned with a completely new take on what gaming monitors can look like. Immersion and speed are critical as gaming is more competitive than ever. The new monitors’ gaming-focused, technical innovations take gamers’ needs for speed, responsiveness, and minimal distractions into account, equipping them with the best gaming experience possible.

Egypt has conducted its first mass drug administration (MDA) since 2001, giving it to over 300,000 people to prevent and treat trachoma, the world’s leading infectious cause of blindness. The MDA was conducted in the Menia region, where nearly 10 percent of children aged one to nine were identified as having active infection. Over the course of seven days health workers distributed doses of the antibiotic Zithromax®, donated by Pfizer, through the International Trachoma Initiative, to 288,365 people six months and up. To ensure safety, children under seven received their dose in the form of syrup as per guidelines provided by the International Trachoma Initiative. During the MDA, teams went house to house in 24 villages, three suburban areas and one Matay prison, where the director of health personally took a dose of the antibiotic in front of prisoners to encourage acceptance. The 468 health workers also prepared communities for the drug distribution and shared information about trachoma through local media, social media, community leaders, policy makers, faith leaders, and other community organisations. “This is the first time there has been such a large-scale distribution of antibiotics in the country. The Egyptian government, regional gove rnments and other partners, have done a fantastic job to make this happen and proved that collaboration is key to overcoming challenges”, said Phillip Downs, Technical Director for Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), Sightsavers. “We must remember that this is just the first step – more work is needed before Egypt follows in the footsteps of other countries and eliminates trachoma as a public health problem.” Trachoma affects over 1.7 million people in Egypt, including 4 districts that require urgent surgical services to treat trachomatous trichiasis, the blinding stage of trachoma, according to surveys conducted in 2015. Across the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR), trachoma is known to affect 10.4 million people and 34 million people live an areas that require urgent investigation to determine whether interventions are required. However, regional efforts through the EMR Trachoma Alliance has supported more than 17 million antibiotics being distributed for the disease since 2011 and three countries being validated by WHO for achieving elimination as a public health problem (Oman 2012, Morocco 2016, the Islamic Republic of Iran 2018). “The Eastern Mediterranean Region has seen significant progress to eliminate trachoma as a public health problem in recent years and the successful distribution of antibiotics to these trachoma affected communities is an important step as the country looks to eliminate the risk of trachoma in its endemic districts”, said Babar Qureshi, Chair of the Eastern Mediterranean Region Trachoma Alliance. “The successful distribution of antibiotics to trachoma affected communities in Egypt is an important step forward,” said Scott McPherson, Chair of the International Coalition for Trachoma Control. “Regional success to date as shown the importance of delivering all components of the SAFE strategy. Ensuring continued support and collaboration for a regional plan will make significant strides towards our goal of global elimination of trachoma as a public health problem. “ The treatment programme was delivered by the Egyptian Ministry of Health and district level governates and was supported by collaboration with international organisations including the International Trachoma Initiative, the Kilimanjaro Centre for Community Ophthalmology, the Nourseen Foundation, Sightsavers and the World Health Organization. Local government and NGOs played a vital role in distribution and facilitating the successful delivery of the treatment programme.

In an effort to help users debug their systems, Google Chrome will soon get support for error codes that resemble those seen during a Windows blue screen of death (BSOD) crash page. By providing Chrome users with these codes, Google will make it easier for them to search online to find help for a variety of different types of crashes. Previously users were left in the dark as to why their browser or a particular tab had crashed, making it difficult to troubleshoot the problem. The search giant began working on this new feature in November of last year but error codes are currently under testing in the latest version (v81) of Chrome Canary. What to expect from Google Chrome in 2020 Microsoft Edge opens add-ons store These are the most po[CENSORED]r Google Chrome extensions The error codes themselves will appear on the “Aw, Snap!” page which Chrome shows when a tab crashes and most Chrome users are likely familiar with this page. Error codes According to the Chromium project source code, 137 error codes are currently configured in Chrome. A full list of all error codes can be found here and the codes cover a wide variety of error types. Chrome Canary users can take a look at how these error codes look by navigating to chrome://crash or chrome://kill to trigger a manual tab crash. The new feature is currently being tested in Chrome 81 though it may not ship with the final release of the software. Thankfully though, the error codes do appear to a permanent fixture in future Chrome releases. Error codes could also be making their way to other Chromium-based browsers such as Brave, Opera and Vivaldi since the feature was proposed by Eric Lawrence who is a software engineer working on Microsoft's new Chromium-based Edge browser. We've also highlighted the best browser of 2020

Restaurants are playing an increasingly important role in the food culture of North Americans. In the United States, food prepared outside the home represents more than 50 per cent of the food dollar, or more than $800bn ($600bn) a year. Canadians spend $80bn annually in restaurants, spending almost 30 per cent of their food dollars in restaurants. They also buy a lot of prepared food for consumption at home. But the rate of growth in restaurant spending is greater than it is for stores. This spending has an impact on the food market in a variety of ways. Most importantly, however, restaurants are changing how we think about food and what we choose to eat. Restaurants make choices for consumers. They choose menu items and they decide how to prepare those items. Grocery stores want to give consumers as much choice and variety as possible, but this causes issues for restaurants. In a grocery store, for example, there may be many choices of eggs (white, brown, different sizes, organic, high omega 3, free-run, free-range and cage-free), breakfast sausages (beef, pork, turkey, enhanced-animal welfare, reduced antibiotic use, low sodium, mild or spicy) and English muffins (regular, whole wheat, multigrain, gluten-free and low sodium). By comparison, in most restaurants you only have one or two options for a breakfast sandwich – likely with or without the sausage. Not only do restaurants make the choices for us, they communicate the value of those choices and can raise awareness of issues. Nonetheless, it was quick-service restaurants like McDonald’s and Tim Hortons that drove animal welfare discussions with respect to layer hens and eggs. This may, to a degree, have been driven by activist pressure, but was not due to consumer demands. Large restaurant chains drive significant volumes of business. Their demands can drive changes in how food is produced by creating the critical mass of demand to justify those changes. Restaurants also have a better opportunity to communicate their choices to consumers than retailers do. In a full-service restaurant, the server can describe important attributes of the dishes on offer; furthermore, a limited menu provides the opportunity to highlight those special qualities. Chain restaurants, particularly fast-food outlets, advertise and differentiate on those attributes and raise them in the consciousness of Canadians (for example, A&W and its commitment to antibiotic-free meats). Through this communication, restaurants are not only attracting new customers, they’re having an impact on the choices people make when they grocery shop too. Like food retail, restaurants are low-margin businesses. Rising costs in food, labour and rent are forcing restaurants to look for cost savings in diferents areas. This has driven a shift, first to lesser cuts of meat (the biggest expense for most restaurants) and smaller portions, and now often to alternate sources of protein. This helps to drive changing perceptions of plant-based proteins and even insect proteins. The lines between food retail and restaurants are increasingly being blurred, which extends the influence of the “restaurant experience”. Retailers and online services are increasingly offering meal kits that come completely portioned and ready to prepare. These allow consumers to have the comfort and convenience of eating at home while also enjoying a more sophisticated meal experience. These kits usually come with premium attributes (for example, ingredients with enhanced welfare and sustainable production attributes) that also increase awareness. Some food retailers are even opening restaurants (often termed grocerants) to offer more options for customers. Restaurant food delivery is also becoming more common. Uber Eats, SkipTheDishes and other services offer delivery from a much broader range of choices than the traditional pizza and Chinese food. This has not been without its hiccups. Some food doesn’t travel well, and using a third-party delivery service eliminates the restaurant’s control over quality and, therefore, the complete consumer experience. Companies to follow the “click-and-collect” model where consumers order online and pick up their groceries at the store themselves. This also allows consumers to buy some of the fresh produce separately. The desire for variety and convenience is increasing the role that restaurants are playing in our food experience. More importantly, though, restaurants are also playing an increasing role in how we think about food. Restaurants, in fact, matter more than ever.

Free audio editing software for any kind of sound file A few decades ago, audio editing was a complex operation that involved mixing and splicing physical tapes, records, and other analog recordings. And it was expensive too, with hundreds of dollars worth of equipment required to handle even amateur edits. These days, thanks to the power of modern PCs and the availability of free user-friendly audio editing software packages, both of those problems have been solved. Modern free audio editors are capable of producing high-fidelity sound files that are suitable for use in a professional environment. Whatever the reason is that you’re looking for a free audio editor, there’s sure to be an appropriate option out there for you. In this article, you’ll find software packages that work just as well for mixing high-school bands songs as they do for creating podcasts that will be heard by millions. The best free audio editors at a glance 1.Audacity 2.Ocenaudio 3.Ashampoo Music Studio 2019 4.Audiotool 5.Acoustica 6 1. Audacity One of the original free audio editors, and still the best Operating system: Windows, macOS, Linux Huge library of pluginsSupports dozens of file formatsStream directly to podcast listenersCould confuse beginnersInterface looks outdated In mid-2020, Audacity will celebrate its 20th birthday, cementing its reputation as one of the longest-lived free audio editors, and one of the best. For tech-savvy users or those willing to spend a few minutes learning how to navigate Audacity’s slightly intimidating interface, this is the best free audio editor. Audacity is an open-source product that works on Mac, Linux, and Windows devices. Over the years, it has developed an enormous developer following, meaning it’s constantly being updated with new features and plugins to keep it competitive with other audio editors. One of the best third-party Audacity plug-ins is Gsnap, which allows you to add autotune effects to your sounds. With this audio editor, you can edit pre-recorded files, capture new sounds, add effects, and stream podcasts. While beginners may be intimidated by the complicated visual look of the Audacity interface, it’s surprisingly user-friendly with lots of screen real estate dedicated to showing you the waveforms of your tracks and large buttons for important actions like starting and pausing recordings. Visit Site 2. Ocenaudio Another powerful audio editor, but easier to master than Audacity Operating system: Windows, macOS, Linux Clean interface with colorful buttonsCan be used to edit online audio filesHear changes in real-timeIrregular updates If you find the Audacity interface a little overwhelming but don’t want to compromise on any features, Ocenaudio is an excellent free audio editor to consider installing. This open-source platform plays well with Windows, Apple, and Linux devices. Compared to other free audio editors, Ocenaudio stands out for its ability to let you preview effects in real-time. Most tools force you to edit “destructively”, which means modifying the original audio file that you’re working with. However, with Ocenaudio, you can adjust your playback parameters directly. As a result, when you change an effect like reverb in Ocenaudio, you’ll hear the difference immediately. Ocenaudio can work with files hosted on cloud servers as well as those stored on your local PC. Some users find the interface a little sparse, but most appreciate its clean and colorful design. If you plan to edit frequently, the best thing to do is memorize some of Ocenaudio’s in-built keyboard shortcuts which will make your work significantly more efficient. Visit Site 3. Ashampoo Music Studio 2019 Fully featured media player and audio editor combo Operating system: Windows Great for beginnersExtra file management toolsRips and burns CDsOnly for WindowsNo multi-track support Ashampoo Music Studio 2019 is a Windows-only audio editor and a great option for users who need to modify a sound file for the first time. This tool’s audio file editing interface is incredibly easy to use with a large waveform preview window taking up most of your screen, and buttons for key functions like cutting and pasting sections of your audio displayed below it. With Ashampoo, you don’t get multi-track support so this audio editor is best suited to rearranging simple audio clips. As the name suggests, Ashampoo Music Studio is more than a basic audio editor. You can actually use this freeware to design CD labels, edit file metadata tags, convert between different audio formats, and rip or burn discs. Visit Site 4. Audiotool A free online audio editor with great beat mixing facilities Operating system: Windows, macOS, Linux (in browser) Syncs tracks between devicesExports files in MP3 formatDozens of virtual instrumentsOnly works in Chrome Audiotool is a free online platform that allows you to create and publish music tracks. Unlike other free audio editing software packages listed here, Audiotool is an in-browser platform so there’s no need to install a local client to use it, although a Chrome plugin is available. This audio editor shares more DNA with Apple’s Garage Band program than most audio editors. With it, you can record 30-second segments of sound to use as samples that can then be mixed with digital instruments already built into the Audiotool system. You can modify your tracks with Audiotool by adding filters from a selection of 14 different effects. You can also create a MIDI controller within the program or use a splitter tool to attenuate and modify your audio signal. Visit Site 5. Acoustica 6 An advanced free audio editor for complicated work Operating system: Windows Well designed interfaceSupports CD rippingLets you layer effectsNo multi-track mixing Another excellent free audio editor with comparable features to Audacity is Acoustica, which is produced by Acon Digital. Acoustica is actually a premium subscription product, and no free version of the latest release, Acoustica 7, is available. However, you can install older versions of the software such as Acoustica 6 for free. One of the big advantages of Acoustica 6 over open-source alternatives is its professional look-and-feel. The interface wouldn’t look out of place in a top-end recording studio and, thanks to sensible design choices, it only takes a few minutes to get to grips with. If you like Acoustica’s setup, you can expand its feature set by installing VST or DirectX plugins. With these, you’ll gain access to a wide range of new sound effects that can help you fine-tune your tracks to produce the result you’re looking for. A unique element of Acoustica is the so-called “Effect Chain” area. Here, you can layer up different audio filters and then apply the combination to multiple tracks. This is a great way to create a unique mix or ensure your sound stays consistent throughout an album. Visit Site

Few brands have a history so steeped in controversy as Burberry. The British heritage fashion house has been trying to claw back its reputation ever since news broke in July this year that they had burnt £28.6m worth of unsold stock allegedly to prevent counterfeiting. CEO Marco Gobbetti denounced the practice this month, saying this would no longer happen and swiftly adding that the brand would also no longer be using fur. The words “band aid” and “bullet wound” came to mind. If ever there was a sure-fire way to reinvent a brand’s reputation, it is with a fresh design lead and, on Monday night, London Fashion Week saw the highly anticipated debut of new creative director Riccardo Tisci. But his first collection for the British heritage brand didn’t mark the stark departure from Burberry’s core values that many were expecting. Instead, it toed a respectful line that embraced the brand’s provenance, with a light peppering of what might be in store for future seasons. The spring/summer 2019 collection was presented to a captive audience that, unexpectedly to many, was a largely celebrity-free-zone (except for Marina Abramovic who slipped into in the front row) in the disused South London Mail Centre. It was the catwalk that boasted the big names, no doubt as a way of keeping people’s focus. Tisci sent a star-studded line-up of models including Kendall Jenner, Stella Tennant, Jourdan Dunn and Lily Donaldson down the runway. Founded by Thomas Burberry in 1856, the fashion house has long been famed for its gabardine trench coats (a fabric Burberry himself invented in 1879) that were designed in 1912 to shield officers from the inclement conditions of the front lines. Each detail lending itself practicality, including shoulder straps that enabled soldiers to add epaulettes denoting their rank and D-rings on which to attach maps and compasses. But more than the trench, it is the instantly recognisable nova check of camel, white and red that has become synonymous with Burberry. It became so po[CENSORED]r in the Nineties that, in another tone-deaf move, Burberry decided to rein in its production of accessories that bore the plaid, apparently for fear of the brand being devalued by the “wrong” wearers. Announced as creative director in March this year, 44-year-old Tisci joins the brand from Givenchy, where he led the house for 12 years. Tisci follows on from his predecessor Christopher Bailey, who joined the brand in 2001 as design director to reinvent its image and catapult it into the luxury sphere. Over his 17-year-tenure, Bailey made the trench coat the must-have item for every fashion-loving woman (who could afford one). Showing the coats in metallic and studded versions, and casting celebrities like Emma Watson in his campaigns, Bailey dramatically increased revenue and he brought Burberry into the digital age, trialling the “see-now-buy-now” model of catwalk shows which, as it sounds, allowed viewers to purchase items straight from the catwalks, as opposed to waiting the usual six months for a drop. Unfortunately, profit targets were not met towards the end of his occupancy and shareholders docked Bailey’s pay by 75 per cent. His swansong was a jubilant return to the nova check, which he plastered on hats, capes and shirts. It resulted in an immediate streetwear revival of the motif. Kept tightly under wraps until the day of the show, Tisci teased fans with hints of his vision for the brand. First there was the complete overhaul of the classic Burberry logo for the first time in two decades, which the creative director posted on Instagram. The interlocking initials TB, designed by Peter Saville, have since dominated cities across the globe, wrapping across buildings, billboards and black taxis. In an emulation of recently revived brands like Gucci and Fendi, the emblem signals a return to 1980s logomania. Soon after, Tisci dropped the first item of his collection on Instagram and Chinese platform WeChat: a black T-shirt with the logo in white. It went on sale for just 24 hours. Tisci’s track record at Givenchy saw him transform the brand from a Breakfast at Tiffany’s elegance to one that oozed sex appeal through gothic-inspired lace, leather and bondage. Subverting the expectations of the French fashion house in much a similar way that Alexander McQueen did in 1996, he offered diverse models in his shows, became the first creative director of a major house to cast a transgender model when he cast Lea T in his 2010 ad campaign and designed gender fluid clothing such as skirts over leggings for men. Always knowing the power that the streets have upon sales, Tisci’s gorilla and Bambi-print sweatshirts were an instant hit and his celebrity fan base is one other brands would kill for, including Beyoncé, Rihanna, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West. He left the brand when umbrella owner, LVMH, had hit record annual revenues. Today’s collection, heavy on homage, marked a careful transition into a new role for Tisci. Not throwing out the rulebook, he instead presented a vast collection that saw the brand’s military origins referenced in men’s suits (yes, there was lots of menswear), which were worn with umbrellas fastened to their backs like rifles. The trench featured heavily, with Tisci twists like edges pierced with brass rings, one covered in silver rivets, another with pearl and feather embellishment and some in a looser, edgier cut. The men’s included one yin-yang trench with a classic khaki bottom half and a black top half. And, of course, nova check made a proud appearance tweaked into stripes on pussy bow blouses worn with high-waisted trousers and inside trench linings. There were plenty of safe items: knife-pleated midi skirts and blazers and a palette of browns and beige. But elements of Tisci’s edgy predisposition shone through: fishnet, buckled Doc Martens-style shoes, slinky black evening dresses, writing scrawled on tops and sportswear stripes. There was a subtle injection of the new logo, seen in silk scarves worn tied into low buns, or hanging from belt hoops and as brass bag clasps. The gorilla and Bambi motifs from Givenchy snuck in, too, with one deer-print top reading “Did they kill Bambi?” An Italian designer in a British house, Tisci found it irresistible to sneak a few Brexit references into the collection, as several models walked the runway with red passports around their necks. Following the show, a number of items from the collection were available to buy on Instagram in further 24-hour-releases, creating a frenzy not dissimilar to that surrounding cult streetwear brand Supreme. Ultimately, it was a collection that marked a courteous transition into a new Burberry era. Tisci’s debut will have left the industry eagerly anticipating what’s to come, safe in the knowledge that the brand’s rich history has been spared the pyre.

Keeping their respective distance, it can be said that the GT is for KIA, what the ST are for Ford, the R / T for Dodge and even the FR for SEAT. That is, these are cars that, although they have a good performance, are perfectly usable on a day-to-day basis. In fact, to affirm its enthusiastic image, in recent months, the brand has given greater prominence to the sports line, and what better proof than its most recent launch, the KIA Forte GT Sedan 2020, the new “bad boy”, which , although it does not look like it, it has its own personality that allows it to join the Forte GT Hatchback and the Stinger GT itself. At first glance, it looks like a Forte GT-Line, but adds a couple of distinctive elements such as a more aggressive grille with red and dark chrome frames, LED optical groups, functional air intakes, dual exhaust pipes, as well as Spoiler and rear diffuser. Inside doors, the highlights are the leather seats with red stitching, D-wheel, Harman Kardon audio system and an eight-inch touch screen. In comfort, connectivity with Android Auto and Apple Car Play, wireless smartphone charger, dual zone air conditioning, as well as KSA to connect functionality with MyKIA + is included. Regarding safety, a start-up assistant on slopes, 6 airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), ABS brakes, Isofix anchoring system, stability management system (VSM) and four-wheel disc brakes are included. As for the iron, there is good news, since the aggressive image of the Forte GT Sedan, is backed by the well-known 1.6 l GDi Turbo four-cylinder engine capable of producing 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. Unlike its brother hatchback, this three-volume version is coupled only to a seven-way double clutch automatic transmission. According to KIA, this sedan that has a trunk of 502 liters capacity, is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 7.5 seconds, while the fuel efficiency is 17.07 km / l in the combined cycle. By chance or perhaps as a declaration of intent, but the presentation of the KIA Forte GT Sedan 2020 was held at the Miguel E. Abed Autodrome in Amozoc, Puebla, track, where we recently drove the Volkswagen Jetta GLI, a model that together with Nissan Sentra NISMO and Honda Civic Sedan Turbo, are indicated by the South Korean brand as the direct rivals of the last member of the GT range. It was in this scenario, where we realized that the Forte GT Sedan, more or less maintains the manners of his brother hatchback. In fact, its acceleration, although progressive, is also not aggressive or unleashed, but it provides enough power both to have a little fun, and to make overtaking on the road with full safety. To keep everything under control, the Forte Sedan GT uses a McPherson suspension system forward, while the rear is independent multi-link. This configuration, together with the characteristics of a sedan, allows you to take the curves better planted than the hatchback. It really pleases how the car cheats you a little by letting you slightly dislodge the rear before the electronic assists enter. It lets you play with total security. In addition, the sound of the escape, although it sounds a little forced at times, increases the sensations of speed. The operation of the change paddles is adequate, but when they reach 7,000 rpm, it does not retain the selected speed, protecting itself from abuse. By the way, the brake discs are larger than a "normal" Forte which is evidenced by its good resistance to fatigue), at the same time as for Mexico the decision was made to mount 225/45 R17 tires. In the United States, the wheels are 18 inches, but the brand considered that, although visually they contribute a lot, they compromise their daily walk due to the state of the roads of our country. PRELIMINARY CONCLUSION Now, with our experience at the Miguel E. Abed Autodrome, if we make a slight comparison with the Jetta GLI, we have a slightly less refined, effective and technically complex car, but instead it is more fun. It is not a remote control automaton like the Volkswagen, and that has its charm. Fun under control. Of course, the interior quality and equipment, are slightly below, which explains its tag of $ 451,900 pesos. In front of the Nissan Sentra Nismo, you have the advantage of having more power and a robotic transmission (here it is more a matter of taste) also gives the impression of being better balanced. Finally, the fair thing would be for the Civic Si to be offered in Mexico, which with its 205 horses would be a frontal rival of this KIA. Under the hood, the Forte GT features a 1.6 l GDi engine with 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque, which is coupled to a 7-speed dual clutch housing. @KiaMotorsMexico says it rivals VW Jetta GLI, Nissan Sentra Nismo and Honda Civic Turbo.
