How Come Proton Not Brining in Satria R3 and Inspira?

[Satria_neo]

I think the Inspira will sure be popular one. Then the Satria R3 is abt the best car Proton has ever made. Sad that they are not here in SG. :(

Inspira is becos of its engine, which will make it not attractive in SG as it is a 1.8, which falls under cat B of COE while for the R3 i heard it was exclusive for the m'sia market only from one of my classmate father who is a malysian and who used to work at Proton in m;sia i hope that answer your question....bt i hope proton sg will bring in the new Saga flx and Saga R3 but for the R3 to be in SIngapore is silm....

with sky high coes, how can these models sell? they would be lucky to if they can clear the exisiting stock

Hmm.... so the R3 is meant for MY.... That sucks. Cause I really like the car alot. Its the best hatch I have ever seen. IT handles very well and 145HP is cool. There are now Cusco parts for it which will improve its handling even further.

 

At least I know I can convert my Neo into R3...lol...

be prepared to splash insane amt of $$$$! i believe u can go for other setup that will be better for power and handlin wise.

but for now, the concern is reliability.

Actually, reliability is my least concern for the neo. Cause its a very simple car with 1990s design (except for the stupid e-throttle). I am still waiting to dump that and replace it with a wire throttle. I don't know why Proton used it.... Its really crap.

Actually, mechanical reliability is never a concern for me at all. Cause I am pretty familiar with cars and I do DIY most of my stuff (unless they are way too difficult to do then I go WS instead).

 

Thats why I like simple cars. Dont need traction control, ABS etc..... they all only add weight.

Btw if the AE86 is still available I would get it. Cause I still prefer a RWD than FWD card. Too bad dont have...sigh...
