its a good alternative to avanza...no need so much power. many mpv are not very powerful also except on highway.

If you notice correctly, the point is about why "Proton sucks" so in my response, I'm quoting other Proton models, not directly the Exora. Even if we want to compare the new Proton MPV, the price tag of RM70K+ for this MPV is again daylight robbery. IF they play a fair game by taxing a Toyota Wish of the same rate, how many would still go for the Proton?

The moment we speak about Proton cars, it doesn't give people confidence and there's no excuse because Proton has been here for close to 3 decades and that's 30 years!! People buy Proton because they don't have a choice and I believe majority don't mind paying RM10K more for a Japanese make.

If you insist that we shouldn't "prejudge any cars before it is even out and released to the showroom" then sure, let's review things again in another 2-3 months. I would be surprised if it's really that good because in the history of Proton, every model would be filled an unacceptable amount of complaints.

its quite pricey thinking that its local

as you said ...i agreed many part of it..but why proton are not reliable? why cant it be as good as other car

watonk, the MOU with Mitsu should be involving waja replacement model with the new Lancer, all parts including the GEMA engine with only minor changes in body parts.

Exora will be equip with turbo charger maybe in late 2010 or early 2011, new facelift maybe...?
but i really hope that it will be powered by E01 engine family instead of campro cps turbo.

2010 is just next year...so its not so long until we can see upgraded campro

In most of your post, I've seen you emphasising on good command of english and mentioning about low level of education of others. So can I know why do you not have the choice to leave this country? I suppose you do have a very high level of education and talent that other countries want to be criticising others like that.

yep dont have to be good in english to be smart.

it's true exora is heavier than others... this will only affect the car performance if the car is full load.. if most of the time only carry 4-5 people, it shouldn't be a problem
*
its heavy but it makes the car more stable when cruising on high speed

*
drive by wire delay is problem? its intended to be like that so its not considered problem

do u have any slight idea how cramp grand livina is? its definitely not a comfy people mover
i lol'ed hard..
go live in australia then whistling.gif
in malaysia, civic cost u 130k, so a big mpv costing rm80k is considered reasonable
still b****ing about the taxes? go become trade ministry and propose zero tax on foreign car then
all car in malaysia are overpriced, but at least the pricing is much much better than that offered by toyota especially the shitty vios and myvi which is definitely super overpriced for what u paid.. if u know what is the pricing they should put in their car, go become proton marketing strategist and push the car to get lower price, like u said, 20k for saga wink.gif
quit b****ing and do ur part, sigh typical malaysian
*
yep in malaysia cars are overpriced..but most of other things considered cheaper like foods, house etc...if you are comparing to singapore or britain or japan for instance... nod.gif

Toyota Passo Sette/ Daihatsu Boon Luminas :

Length   : 4,180mm to 4,195mm (Depending on spec) 
Width   : 1,620mm 
Height   : 1,695mm

Perodua (Daihatsu/Toyota)

In my opinion, Proton Exora is more suitable for those with large families as it has rear airconditioning system unlike Passo Sette, however, Passo Sette is more preferable for those with small family and also, even single people, especially young females....
