i'm not sure about M and H-line models, but i noticed that the B-line "triangle glass" (the small piece of glass for passenger door) is made from plastic. found about this on saturday evening at Kenala Jaya Gaint hypermarket where they have a B-line on display.

2000 model is the total overall quantity made. Maybe they estimated that more people will buy the base line because it cheaper.

Surprising that with so many cars, no spy pic was taken before launch...
Where and how did they hide so many cars???

Maybe they hide it secretly inside their factory. They only distribute it out after it was officially launced. That is why some people need to wait before they can get their car. smile.gif

That's wht I say...2000 cars in a factory!!!
Proof that the Tanjung Malim plant is really under utilized! tongue.gif

I went to try out ML Persona today, and I'm kinda disappointed with the plastic feel.And it's not as spacious as I thought. I went to try out Waja Campro after that, and I was surprise to say that Waja has improved a lot!It has a classy interior!
*
Hmmm...I feel that the Waja's interior a lil dated compared to the Persona...

Well, went to COE today for test drive...
The car was very good in terms of handling...felt kinda at home in the wheel... rclxms.gif acceleration was not as good...floor the pedal, the engine still slowly move up the RPM...steering wheel kinda heavy (heavier than Kelisa, City)... sad.gif

And the salesperson there was a total LET DOWN!!!
D@mn...very bad experience...
Guess Proton 'BS' again saying will train the staff on info bout new models...
When answer to reply, sure will have a long 'ermm' or use 'if I'm not mistaken'... shakehead.gif
Even I know more about the car than him...
He asked my aunt (who was test driving the car with me) to push the car...but when it's my turn to drive, keep asking me to release gas pedal... sweat.gif
Haih...should have went to the Mutiara Damansara Showroom instead...

Even the SA who accompany me during my test drive is disappointing. When i ask does the persona has the same body rigridly structure like satria neo, in which by now most new proton models have tougher body shells, the SA was speechless and divert to another feature. sweat.gif

Btw does anyone knows will the persona has strong body shell in the front like the satria neo?
*
It should be as rigid if not more rigid than the Gen2...

QUOTE(caviars @ Aug 21 2007, 07:20 PM)
CAPTOR is only for HL model right?  Why ML model also delay?
*
I don't think ML got delay...coz during the launch, 350 units have been delivered to customers...
I think the problem is with CAPTOR...coz when Perdana V6 1st started equipped with it, also face problems... sweat.gif
Now already a 3month waiting period... 7000 cars booked d o'
hope they can settle it soon...

4k if WORK ori den is worth the price but if taiwan rim...

market price for the LED tail lights is 650 (taiwan made)
smoked headlamp woth CCFL... are they giving ori headlamp or smoked taiwan lamp? to install the ccfl only coz u 350 ringgit....
taiwan smoked lamp + CCFL = 730

so 650 + 730 = 1380

so the rim is 2620

will not be ori if 18 inch.... 16 inch den should be ori lar... LOL

btw all are market price.... dealer should have better price...
i would rather spend less for the rim and add a pair of projector lights with ccfl... smile.gif

That's the problem lo....

the salesman told me 18 " lagi lo... I check the tire from NanKang 18 size..

Low profile or high profile i dunno lo.. but RM 4k for all these stuff is really attractive... cannot believe but really put into persona base line model..

warantty will be given since it's a complete with Proton shop gua.. but 5 years is impossible..

I think he put 18" is because few shop beside have a rx-8 which have 18" ori rim... so wan to let customer see.. Malaysia boleh also...

but is it Japan or Taiwan 1 I dunno.. he remove the middle cap already..

The headlamp which have CCFL, I dunno is it from original headlamp... but  looks alike lo.. they put in the showroom wo.... if put taiwan made one... wah... i dunno how to say already..

jVIPERs2,

wah.. say me until like tat...  rclxub.gif

if u stay in Penang, then pls go to the beside SHELL green lane... u can see a red persona in the showroom then u understand what I am saying..

I say base model because the salesman telling me about this... u can add-on to the medium line or high end model.. just top up the money then u can get those stuff already...

I dunno much about the persona. i'm not the seller ... u just ask them... even i ask other salesman from other shop, they say " i think they just put the cover onli la, not the real double spoke rim 1.. "

so ..... up to you to judge and to believe.. the picture is uploading now.. my house internet is very very slow.. can download cannot upload...  mad.gif

Sorry la...
Coz u post and reply ppl's question without confidence ma...
Should ask and confirm everythin 1st, then post so when ppl ask, can straight answer...

dun worry bro.. i'm newbie in this forum.. and dun wan let other ppl say on me...
btw, check the picture i have send on previous post.. sorry i spy spy snap picture..

maybe other ppl got chance see the difference la... hehe..

Really put 18" RIM and tyre is way to promote the persona car... I just wish is Original WORK rim.. RM 4k with front light angel eyes and led taillight is attractive.. hope the salesman really not cheat me..

but I also dun wan 2 buy... jus go and see the persona new car smell.. kekeke.

The standard Persona is sufficient I guess...M or H line...
Go test drive...it doesn't disappoint! biggrin.gif

ok thanks for info guys!!
will go check out the Mutiara Damansara showroom
still undecided whether to get Neo or Persona
have until this week to decide..
actually quite glad that i'm actually deciding which PROTON car i'm going to buy and not whether it is between Proton and another..
*
Hmmm...I guess its best to go to either the COE or M.D....
Juz make sure u get a Chinese SA... Others still have the tidak apa attitude, as if ppl go for Proton bcz they can't afford other car makes...
I recommend u to test drive b4 purchase...
Have fun this weekend... thumbup.gif
