QUOTE(tifosi @ Aug 15 2007, 10:00 PM) In the video, the new facelift of gen 2 and the waja will be out next month and a totally new model will be out in about 5 months time  CPS? VIM?  Hmmm...since it's coming nx month, makes me wonder why they didn't CPS Persona as well..... QUOTE(Azuma-kun @ Aug 15 2007, 10:15 PM) The Blueberry Tea color so nice la. Too bad, only for H-Line  I think the colour suits the Waja more...

I did visit the Proton showroom at taipan USJ and i must say i was almost mistaken with a new vios, expect this is a bigger vios. Overall i think the persona will be a true Proton savior as it is a true product that malaysian wants, a comfortable + practical small family saloon at affordable prices. The interior deserves an mention as although not as good as those japanese sedans but still a far cry from the older gen2. The saber sword handbrake and impractical power window were among a few things removed and the interior looks more like a typical practical car. However how i wish they could eliminate the ugly gen2 steering.  The boot is indeed spacious and even bigger than the wira but i must say the rear seats is less spacious although at leats my head did not hit the roof like what it happended on the gen2. I think i will give my final judgement once i am able to test drove it, hmm need to plan a test drive. I felt i anticipated more on the face lifted gen2 with CPS!

QUOTE(mockv1per @ Aug 15 2007, 09:31 PM) they have extra stock of gen2 rear lights so they just trying to clear up old stock before they can design a new one.. they order in bulk which is cheaper. Proton Persona = Proton Wira outside malaysia.. it is indeed a Wira replacement. so it is not wrong for them to use that name.. just like Accord etc.. The way they name their car is really crap. Obviously this a sedan version of Gen2. N u cant compare with Accord,Camry,C-Class. Malaysian car maker dun have car "family" or "series". Although this car is the "new" Wira,they wont call it wira.

Wira the name remind me the orang utan mascot. Anyway see the car like a true car and no more cheap plastic and copy paste design. Especially the door panel no more plastic look. Last time design is like cheap ah beng type design. I wonder how the design team can get approved. Only thing is the steering wheel. They should change it.

People, normal la. Pay 50k expect to have 100k of quality. Pay for sedan, expect spacious as van. Pay for 1.6, expect to get a 1.0 fc.

With CPS/VIM = More power = Higher FC is acceptable.
BUT..
With CPS/VIM = NO power = Jerky gearbox = Higher FC is NOT acceptable.
