Second hand value of the Honda Accord will drop like RIM shares.

Betul ke nie?

I have been looking for some spyshot since i posted this tapi tak de pun.

I really hope someone in Proton will post pics of the new Perdana if its ready... this will be interesting to follow.

As far as i have read, it seems the E01 engine was fitted to a Waja and a Satria GTI in 1998. Dont recall finding any further info on the performance and reliability after that.

Apart from the initial performance figures, there is still a big question mark.

i was hoping that they can develop more cfe engine.let say 1.8 or 2.0 cfe with 160-180hp for pedana replacement. or maybe 1.0 cfe for savvy replacement.

not sure either p1 going to use e01 straight since it's an old engine (emission restriction). maybe use the tech and redesign the whole engine.
nway, tubo might be thirsty, but the main advantage is cheaper roadtax. for example pug vti and thp..thp is more thirsty than vti (fc around 1.8- 2.0L car), but way cheaper roadtax than 2.0 car.

the project started in 96..was planned to use it by 2005. cfe is not really ori campro engine. a bit smaller displacement, different vvt mechanism compared to cps. it is thristy because of the turbo..proton nowhere near vw tsi or bmw prince thp..but still a modern engine.

yeap..just give them few more years. maybe they can come out with new engine based on petronas engine. never own a cfe proton..but is it thristy? i mean compared to 1.8-2.0 car.

hurmm..to me not bad la.

if really got rebadged accord, who still want to buy new accord?

All see proton say this and that no good. Y no develop it own engine    See others bigger car manufacture which is better then proton. The gearbox still got problem, air bag problem la etc but no complain.
