Well a typical 1.6 engine gives 110 HP for most normal road cars, while those 1.6 with 140-160HP are for their sporty lineup, such as the toyota levin/trueno series and the honda civic Si.

For me a 1.6 with 100HP is good enough for normal driving, but that depends to the car design as well. Having a 100HP car with a heavy car chasis like the waja and the new sentra makes the car underpowered as well.

As for the CAMPRO, it gives a decent 110hp but due to its high reviing design where 3-4k RPM is needed to bring the car's power, expect underpower when driving in cities or town driving.

u r talking more to the engines for performance sporty car lineup, not to normal cars. I hope u dont confuse the rest

the foreigners have better choices unlike us. The gen2 has dubious quality for them. Even though its cheaper than the Japanese and other european cars the maintainance and the 2nd hand value is horrible, similiar like European cars over here. That why the gen2 sold poorly in the UK.

Believe me, let the current CEO Syed Zainal to do the job. I have a feeling he will deliver and not only saves proton but bringing it into a new correct direction. It's hard to reduce and repair the damage done by the ex CEO TM but, from what i see on recent Proton developments, things like looking positive. Just let Syed Zainal do his job, and we will be the judge in moments to come.
