I was at their roadshow at 1 Utama and I must say the turbo feels better than the 2.0. The SA said that we could opt for the touch screen HU with additional RM3k, and the sports skirting for RM2k+. The smoked headlamp and sport rims r excluded. I guess we will be able to get better looking rims from 3rd party shops. The sup-ed up 408T is so damn tempting man!!

I think the SA is Balan from Nasim. The TTDI branch. I wonder how much would the total mod cost.

I did some research and found out that the china 408 has a screen planted right on top of the dashboard, in the middle, above the 3 centre aircond vent. Not sure if the touch screen is just screen or a fully equipped HU. It does come with navigation as what the SA said. It would be great if we could get the HU embedded like the one in the 508.

So I guess we MIGHT get the body kit or we might not, now it depends on whether they plan to have another so called SPORTS version for the 408T. I also remembered asking about unlocking the ECU to have better top speed, which is over 215km/h. I know we won't be able to do 215km/h in any part of the highway in m'sia but it's good to know. He said can, but the warranty for the ECU will be void because of the unlocking. Don't know if Balan's words can be trusted though.

I would love to have my name on the list but I am in the midst of applying for my housing loan. It would be great to have a new car n a new house at the same time XD

I did 200 on my gen2 1.6 M NA. I'm not surprised that the 408T can do better than my gen2. Because in the 408 brochure, it says "top speed 215km/h (ECU limited)"

My 1st impression was that the rear of the FL 308T looked somewhat like the Latio HB. At a glance, that is. Just my RM0.02 though =D

Good one! Haha why didn't I think of that? No wonder u have so many stars there. Hehe
Good suggestion bro. Well said!

I see... I guess it will be "covered up" rather than being removed then. Why am I asking this is because most of the conti cars now doesn't have that kind of trimming, which results in a cleaner exterior, a more minimalist design.

Haven't even test driven the car already thinking of ways to mempremiumkan the car.
