Some Comments on New Waja Replacement - Like lancer?

let me give my 2 sen:
1. P1 is doing what they see P2 is doing…and what their new CEO knows best…rebadging or copying…to make money…maybe to finance other models…I don’t have a problem with that…
2. Mitsu is trying to sell more engines and chasis…to make more money and get cheaper manufacturing facilities…to export to other markets…I don’t have a problem with that.
3. Waja-owners wannabe wants to get cheap Lancers…I understand that.
4. Lancer-owners are upset becos their exclusivity would be lost…if true the WRM is gonna be a straight copy/rebadge of Lancer…might as well buy a Toyota or Honda…
For me, I am gonna compare Mitsu’s Lancer with the likes of Civic, M3 or other ‘equal’ makes…quality vs quality…build vs build…
I am not going to compare Mitsu’s Lancer with the WRM…even if WRM is cheaper…if I drive the Lancer…I will know its a Lancer…if someone drives a WRM and wants other ppl to think its a Lancer…I guess its in their genes…but if someone don’t care either way and just wanna drive a good car…I respect that too…
I am upset with P1 cos it holds itself to be a national car…there must be some pride in that…by the way…what makes it a national car?…just becos some politician say so?…has it ever belonged to the nation?…even though it swallows the rakyat’s money…i only see it benefiting certain vendors selling questionable quality parts and components…it’s a business venture…nothing more…definitely not national…otherwise any roadside business can also call itself national…
I will be upset with Mitsu becos they sold their products…knowing there is going to be a cheaper version…which they sanction…that is dishonest…IF its true that the WRM is a straight rebadge…they owe their clients a more honest deal…I really wonder if there is a legal recourse for those ppl who bought the Lancer earlier…definitely there is room to argue Mitsu owes them morally at least…I would not think highly any more of Mitsu’s honesty and ethics or Japanese business culture in general…
But…having said all that…the Lancer is still a lovely car…and I going to buy one…despite all these WRM jazz…I could wait…but I would get a P1 WRM…and I have had enough of them for a lifetime…I am going to be proud to own/drive a Lancer…and if I see a WRM-Lancer…I will think good for you…you know how to appreciate a good car…and you got a good deal too…but I will still be driving a Lancer…and you a WRM…

why wait 2020? the current exora, persona el. satria neo fairly good. thats is an Improvement. There is a minor hiccup here and there, small thing which other giant car manufacture also have to deal with and they too recall some of their car once in while. E.g Toyota & Honda (as being reported recently).
What design engineer do? We all know what they do…designing of coz, and making a car is not only involve designing engineer. There is a powertrain team, prototyping team, as well as ride and handling (r&h) team (tho the r&h is the youngest team established).
For r&h team, these are the people, who spend most of their working time on the road testing the car. When talk about ride and handling it can be really subjective to determine the comfort level of a driving and its really up to the engineer who testing the car came out with the his version of comfort driving. Your definition of comfort driving can be quite different from others. Some like the sporty feeling, some like the smooth luxuries feeling. So there is several engineers will came out with the result, compare and retune. (Suspension dynamics …etc) until the best result is obtain (Relevant for mass production). So they are not just sitting around like u claim. There is an engineering works going on behind the scene. The new waja is a rebatch (stated hundred of times over this post hehehe) small modification, to bring some proton image in it. And that’s it~. It could help save a lot of R&D effort since Proton currently working on the Iguana and the New Engine (maybe replacing CPS) then coming up next is a persona replacing model.
“All scums of the earth I tell you.” Will it including u? hehe. Nothing/ nobody is perfect, doesn’t mean everything is wrong considering u might not fully understand what’s going on. Calling people bad names making joke not helping either my friend. “The hell with Proton workers, they don’t pay for my car?”…the statement is pretty bold congrats!. Unfortunately it is immature…I think~. Not very sure this kind of mentality or attitude suitable/deserve living in a society. I wonder why am i actually taking this effort on replying your comment coz I don’t think you could care more or less….:)
