u can't compare with an old generation engine. new engine has stricter rules on emissions etc etc.

try compare the CPS 1.6 with Toyota Altis VVT-i 1.6 or Suzuki Swift Sport VVT 1.6. that's the closest that i can compare.

CPS is leading in that comparison theoretically.

yeah like i mentioned up there. sometimes THEORY can't be use in REAL LIFE situation, hence need hands-on testings.

actually i don't see what's this commotion about.

it's a new generation 1.6 engine that has to abide the emission rules etc etc and ppl comparing it with an old valve-timing 1.6 that runs crazy on high revs and huge hp due to much loosen rules at its time.

"comply to future exhaust emission legislation requirement" or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_emission_standards

true, i can't compare with other 1.6 engine because the only new generation engine that i can compare with are those VVT ones and not VTEC/MIVEC ones (in which Campro shares the same characteristic as them)

and i can't compare with many other engines either because this Campro is DOHC unlike most cars around this CC range that uses SOHC (new gen engines)

well, i'd hold my horses and see what Campro 1.8 and 2.0 will do (if proton came out with it la)

CPS R3 anyone?

blame it on tunku mahaleel.

we need a business-minded person to tackle the market of a normal user car, not an ex-racer.

emission regulation dude, emission regulation. and the FC too. if proton were to build a 5sec century sprint car, would you buy it?NO, because it's a proton right?so they had to build rep first after being tarnished badly last time. so the target consumers are the normal road users first to bring their image back.
