here's the interior of the new 408 and some other pictures i managed to pick up. got it from this website: http://www.carnewschina.com/2014/06/11/new...sides-in-china/

the meters are still viewed through the steering wheel conventionally.

This on the other hand is the facelift of the current car we have here. It has been facelifted a while back. Maybe as far back as 2012 (we still haven't gotten it). I think Nasim will skip this and go straight to the new model. Just guessing here.

By the way the difference between the S and TE model is only rm100 pm.

Here's the battle of dashboards! New 408 vs new 308.

408 executive feel
308 sporty

Personally prefer 408 interior

the door panels look similar and the part where the cd player is all the way down to the transmission tunnel also look similar. major difference is the top half of the dash and the steering wheel. i think the 408 has a bigger touch screen too.

u know vknight lucky u pointed it out to me... just spoke to my SA and he was under the impression that i want to go for the Griffe specs which has a RM10500 discount....

As for the S model, its the same as you mentioned.... lucky u pointed it out....

no leather seat? haha

hahaha yea no leather seat... so the difference between the Griffe and this is only the leather seat, touch screen, bodykit and rims right? this S spec still has all the other features same right?

Is the facelift 408 due this year or next year.

Hi Vengga.
Currently there are 3 models not including the 2.0
1. S model (109k)
2. TE - Premium (116k - 121 if u want 5 years free service)
3. Griffe (128k)

The prices on the road is in the bracket. I think your SA is ralking about the 2nd one and not griffe. The TE Model

The prices ia the best price I can get so far. I dont think griffe got discount. Griffe only 3 colours - red, white and black.

The touch screen comes with Griffe. I coildnt get any discount on this.

HI Vengga
The difference between S and. TE is leather seats and body kit.
Difference between TE and Griffe is that for Griffe you get spec leather seats.
Leather Gear Knob
Leather hand brake
Colours touchscreen multimedia system
Built in navi
Reverse camera
18 inch alloy wheels
Smoked headlamp
Black pack grille
Black pack side mirrors

For exterior, I prefer current model, interior China model looks better. Somehow I like the current logo badge better, it looks more prominent.

Bro, the colour looks vague online, gotta see the real thing. Nasim Desa Pandan has the blue in showroom but you gotta enquire cause its upstairs. Between Aster Grey, I will go for Black cause to my eyes the diff is not visible and very confusing.

if I were you, I will take the TE with 5 years free service. The reason is service fees over 5 years are around RM11k.
so in that case, you only pay 1k extra for leather seat and bodykit.
In the end, everything is inside the instalment, you just need to pay for petrol, wear and tear parts like tyres and break-pad and etc.

Just my 2 cents.

Not forgetting red trims interior...

Take your time vengga, cause it sounds like you have not done enough comparison or perhaps your consideration is not in the features?
Hey, do you think if we book together through same SA, can squeeze some more juice or freebies?

Hi Tan

You are planning to buy also? I am a bit confused. Not sure want to commit rm1300 per month. My first car . Been using my wife's car all.this while. Feeling guilty spending so much

will trade in MyV (still on loan) and keep 9-year old well-behaved Vios. Initially thought to replace Vios because servicing $ goes up but in the last half year it has been behaving very well, colleagues also commented. Don't want to spend too much also, so it makes sense to trade in the car that is still servicing loan.

BTW, I am going for NA, putting family comfort first. 10-15 years ago would have taken turbo no doubt but now mid-life already, besides I am not really a car person, at least not yet, this thread has been slowly poisoning me But not that old lah, $50 still got change

No idea about that but they may skip the facelift and go straight to the new 408 due to the stocks of the current one still requiring some time to clear.
