OT:
reality check plz :-
If u study designing, doesn't mean u'd be a designer in future
If u study mechanical engn.,doesn't mean u won't be a designer in the future
for a price of +- RM30k, of course must give & take
can't have it all,
can u?

Eh come on man! 30K so ugly. Don't make better!! We are talking about national pride man!! Our face is worth more than 30K.... if use the money for R n D only to make a car like this... improvela our public transport better.. And NOT to mention. Don't tell me All Mechanical and Design engineer do not end up in their field. Even if SO what are the jerks in Proton design doing?>
First car iswara/saga was ok for that time.. but until now all they do is put disco light on the dash box? Then we had juara.... looks like a coffin car. No one would put their beloved in that car anyway.
Soon after we had the bloody jumbuck... The car where u potong the wira ass of and put the pick up's ass!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa even perodua also better!!!!!!!!

I can tell you why, since I'm a mechanical engineer myself; We design things for practical reasons and also to make sure it WORKS. Very often we argue with architects that we need to place a duct here, pipe here, lights here, switchboard here etc. Sure the location is perfect technically, but if you are the architect you will pull your hair out coz it affects your design. Oh ya, owners will complain tak cantik lagi.
So if the BLM might look funny to some ppl, well maybe becoz now got extra room there, or something behind the body. Wondered why the Neo looks soooo good but has lousy headroom? Gen2 looked good but lack some features?
BTw, BLM is meant as a basic line model, which means it does not need the looks of a Ferrari to compete. All it needs is superb reliability, practical, fuel efficient and a has good price to boot.
Of course, I do agree that looks do matter sometimes, like the fiat multiplia.

I know what u mean leh. I'm a civil engineer.... have to talk alot wiv architect too! But then the car is alamak!!

Actually not demanding for ferrari kickass looksler.. Like if u ask me i think perdana is good. Waja is good too. Myvi is good i think can compete wiv colt and jazz. Savvy is *tut*
