and how much are these cars selling?

Smart wor... who will so dumb buy Proton?! Only people with no money will ever buy a proton man.

Especially those over glorified Inspira with their Campro engine.. sigh... E36 sure blow them all out of the water lah! Can get more chicks also!

Oh, sorry. Didn't know. My condolences.

@MR_alien: The Japanese are struggling a bit, but I think in Europe they do have competitive cars. Only in Malaysia a 4AT is a good feature, since mechanics know it well and it is well proven.

Almost all contis (and Japs and Koreans in Europe) have that airbag turn off feature. You don't have it, you lose stars in EuroNCAP. There are rear mounted baby seats (baby facing the rear of the car, but sitting on the front seat). For those an airbag would be deadly. No airbag means the seatbelt and the baby seat will keep the baby safe.

Higher price than proton of course. You get what you pay for!

Higher perfomance engine = more money

But for this CFE engine i think it's more to the limitation of the gearbox.

At least now people are comparing proton's engine with the like of BMW and audi.

Doesnt matter where the part comes from. For me, the most important thing is the engine performance and reliability.

Reading this articles from Lotus really shows the performance of the car if you can see the graph. The power that came with it is actually higher than a 2.0 NA engine which IMHO is very good.

It also stated that the engine had been vigorously  tested in different climate/altitude.

yeah the gearbox limits the amount of torque that can be produced by the engine, if it's stronger, this engine has huge potential.  i really do hope they can plug this engine into the SAGA, it'll be awesome if the price remains at around 50k max, P2 will really eat dust

performance...turbo charger is from Borg-Warner
and most of the part in the engine compartment is from japan...brand is mostly denso
aircon use the best...sanden brand
CVT from punch
proton's other part came from all around the world..like saga...got some part from turkey, from france...etc

they already did
the 1.6L IAFM+ of course...not CFE
the 1.3L IAFM+ + CVT = user already go 180KM/H
the 1.6L IAFM+ must be even faster
if put in CFE...not sure the car can handle or not
