The Scania rhetoric is an exaggerated example to illustrate the factor of power-to-weight ratio.
Unfortunately, the only other 1.6NA C-segment in M'sia are Preve and Elantra, so that's not saying a lot. Other C-segments are at least 1.8l and above.
As mentioned above, in the same segment (C segment), it has one of the weakest engine.

Yea the 1.6l Gamma is one of the most powerful new 1.6NA engines in M'sia, but it means nothing when it is made to haul a heavy car. There is a reason why so few C-segments in M'sia uses a 1.6NA engine.

Notwithstanding the fact that you said "most powerful 1.6NA car" earlier, instead of "most powerful 1.6NA C-segment", Cerato is:

Most powerful C-segment - NO
Most powerful 1.6NA car - NO
Most powerful 1.6NA C-segment - YES

Let's face it, 130PS pushing 1.3 tonnes is nothing to shout about.
