proton exora

Toyota Wish + Grand Livina + Waja = Proton Exora? Proton EXORA (malay>> eks-zo-ra). Tentative OTR (HL) = RM76,000. Colours Available - Genetic Silver, Tranquility Black, Gaia Blue, Blue Haze, Pyrite Brown. Ready with 5-spoke alloy wheels 195/65R 15"rims + bluetooth + LCD monitor/DVD etc. I was told Proton received almost 1,000 bookings (since 21 Feb) for this model (booking without hugging the car!!! actually no Exora in showroom yet - but due to excellent Proton's quality - Proton Exora managed to seduce customers' trust - no need to view, just do booking. Looking at the pic and opportunity to sneak preview during Proton's Open Day this Proton MPV can be considered as new achievement to Proton. Congrats to Proton and to all hardworking group of friends there in Proton. My worry is only on its 1.6 engine --- whether can carry 7-seater as fast as Innova/Wish/Hyundai etc - or have to struggle a little bit more...How's the test drive @ Bukit Putus, Genting, Fraser's Hill, Cameron, Jelapang...?

(Dato' Nadzmi, Dato' Syed, Kak Faridah) Saya kesian kat Atuk Sedara saya, dia baru 7 bulan beli/guna Proton Saga 1.3 (macam gambar kat bawah ni, warna biru gitu-gitu). Tapi nak wat camana, mungkin bukan rezeki dia, power window dah rosak/tak leh turun/naik cermin, reverse sensor nak bunyi macam tak nak bunyi, tempat kunci tak leh pusing (camana nak hidupkan enjin?) terpaksa kena tow pi bengkel, ganti baru. Body pulak tidak diinsulate bunyi dengan jerap -- boleh dengar bunyi motor/kereta yang lalu kat tepi walaupun tingkap tutup habis, kalau mat rempit lalu, boleh terkejut Atuk. Nasib baik la under warranty - tapi Atuk macam frust je, kereta baru beli tapi dah ulang alik Pusat Servis EON bertauliah (authorised service center). Dia habaq kat saya (masa pi ikut dia tukaq power window regulator/motor) --- bukan masalah kereta under warranty tapi leceh la, tak larat nak ulang alik workshop...

Saya berdoa semoga Atuk sedara saya tu terus tabah dan cekal menggunakan Proton Saga 1.3 barunya itu.
