JUALAN KERETA MURAH - 3 BULAN KERJA CONFIRM BOLEH BELI CASH.

Proton Gen2.. MURAH...!!!!

di UK laa.. Malaysia tidak. hehe..

Sila Compare harga PROTON 2nd hand
2004-2007 antara UK dan Malaysia . hehe.




Ini adalah utk rakyat UK
.

Gaji Pegawai Awam biasa UK = 2,400++ (pound sterling)

Harga Proton Savvy …. ……… 5,000 pound only
Harga Proton Satria Neo …….. 3,500 pound only
Harga Proton GEN-2 ………….. 5,700 pound only

QUALITY: Very Quality, tahan lasak, body-baik-punya, enjin full spec, injection lagi. Jimat minyak, bunyi tak bising. (sebab UK akan reject kereta2 yang di import kesana jika tidak memenuhi spec atau syarat)

sumber harga:

Ini adalah utk rakyat Malaysia .

Gaji pegawai Awam Biasa M’sia = RM2,200 ++ (Ringgit Malaysia)

Savvy (2007) …….. RM 32,000 ++
Gen-2 (2007) ……..RM 44,000 ++
Satria-Neo (2007) .. RM 46,000 ++

sumber harga:
http://www.hasrul.net/lain-lain/senarai-harga-proton/ (susut nilai sila kira sendiri)

Rasanya semua sedia maklum kualiti kereta Proton di Malaysia = mahal nak mampus+body kualiti tin-biskut aje+tahap keselamatan yang rendah. ( sebab tiada siapa yg boleh reject kereta Malaysia yg dijual kepada rakyat Malaysia walaupun kereta tu memang kereta reject ).
Harga kereta di Malaysia sangat mahal jika compared relatively dengan purata gaji pegawai awam di Malaysia . (sebagai benchmarks la..)

TETAPI

Kerajaan Malaysia tidak bagi alternatif untuk rakyat Malaysia kerana KERAJAAN SEHINGGA KE HARI ini GAGAL untuk MENYEDIAKAN SISTEM Transport-Awam Yang Efektif. (Tidak seperti UK , di UK bas akan tiba pada setiap 5-minit di kawasan Suburban)

Rakyat Malaysia DIPAKSA MEMBELI KERETA-PROTON yang rendah mutunya DENGAN HARGA yang mahal gila dan x munasabah, dengan cara kerajaan mensyaratkan pada bank2 di Malaysia , hanya kereta nasional saja boleh diberikan pinjaman penuh (FULL LOAN).
Akibatnya, Rakyat Malaysia terpaksa BERHUTANG sehingga mati….

Pada Masa yang sama, KERAJAAN MALAYSIA

1. Mengenakan insurance yang x masuk akal..

2. Menaikkan harga Petrol Mendadak dengan Harga luarbiasa semasa rega minyak dunia per-barrel naik.

3. Menyediakan lebuh-lebuhraya bertol..

MAKA Rakyat Malaysia beratus-ratus kali-ganda rugi…. Menteri pula bertambah2 kaya raya..

Aduhai…malangnya rakyat Malaysia .

CF - http://www.izoblog.com

BS: Aku buat kira2 skit..

2,400 Pound jika ditukar kepada Ringgit Malaysia = RM13,953.9
dikalikan pula dgn
3bulan = RM44,861.7

Bermakna jika aku berkerja tanpa makan sebutir beras dan minum setitik air selama
3 bulan di UK , aku masih tak mampu nak beli Satria-neo 2nd hand kat malaysia yang harganya RM46,000.

Tapi org UK , gaji
2,400 Pound dikalikan dgn 3 bulan = 7,200 pound Harga satria-neo kat sana baru 3,500 pound.
Bermakna
7,200 - 3,500 = siap ada baki 3,700 pound lagi...

Perghhh... Memang boleh mampos dok kat Malaysia mcm nih.. Patutlah pemimpin kaya raya tp rakyat papa kedana.


The RON list

The RON list June 15, 2009 02:11 PM Author: Chips UPDATED ON 1/7/09 WITH ADDITION OF NISSAN MODELS The following list has been compiled based on confirmations and unofficial discussions with some car companies. MTM Multimedia Sdn Bhd and its employees do not accept any liability or responsibility for any effect arising from use of this information. In some cases, even though an engine may be originally tuned to run on fuel with a certain RON, its age and condition may require a higher RON grade to avoid knocking. Some engines may also have knock sensors which can automatically adjust ignition timing if knocking is detected but this will result in some reduction in power output. If in doubt, do contact the car company dealing with your model. This list will be updated as often as possible when we get more confirmations from the car companies so do check back regularly. (* indicates a new addition to the list).




Most Mercedes-Benz engines, except the high-performance ones in the AMG and SL/SLK models, are able to run on fuel with RON91 to RON95. However, for optimum performance, RON95 is recommended while use of RON92 will result in marginally reduced output



For the Cefiro 3.0, Murano, 350Z/370Z, RON97 is recommended for optimum performance. For older models such as the Sunny 130Y, Bluebird, Altima and AD Resort, RON95 can be used.


Volvo engines can use RON91 to 98 RON unleaded petrol. Volvo Car Malaysia says that for
best performance and lowest fuel consumption, RON98 (or closest RON) is recommended.
For normal driving, RON95 is acceptable and RON91 should only be used in cases where
RON95 is unavailable. Knock sensors in the engines will adjust the engine timing to
prevent damage with very low RON fuel

Lotus APX

Lotus APX Aluminium Performance Crossover


Lotus APX

The Lotus APX Concept was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show 2006 recently. The Lotus APX, which means Aluminium Performance Crossover was designed by Lotus using it’s Versatile Vehicle Architecture (VVA) and has an all-aluminium monocoque structure, which follows true to â€Å“Performance through Light Weight†core brand value.

Lotus APX

The Lotus APX Concept is a demonstration of Lotus Engineering’s ability to rapidly develop different vehicles from a common Versatile Vehicle Architecture. The following shows the families that could be achieved using VVA.

Family A
Front engine 4WD crossover
Mid engine RWD supercar
Front engine RWD coupe
Front engine RWD saloon

Family B
Front engine FWD coupe
Front engine 4WD SUV

Family C
Mid engine RWD coupe
Front engine FWD saloon
Front engine 4WD crossover (example: the Lotus APX)

The car was conceived to target a specific customer, defined as a sports car enthusiasts who has a typical family of two young children, but also sometimes wants to carry a few adults in addition to the kids. The car is a 5+2 seater, with the third row of two seats suitable for children. The 5 other seats are full sized.

The Lotus APX goes from 0 to 100km/h in 5.4 seconds, and it has a top speed of 245km/h, thanks to it’s 191hpper tonne power to weight ratio. It’s powered by an engine developed by Lotus, part of it’s Project NEF. The engine is a 3.0 liter V6 supercharged DOHC engine that makes 300hp at 6250rpm and 360Nm of torque at 4500rpm. The engine is close to being production-ready.


So, what do you think? Will Proton adopt this platform for an MPV? Proton could also use the Project NEF engine family could also be used as a large capacity engine for it’s SUVs, MPVs and executive luxury sedans. Director of Lotus Engineering Simon Wood mentioned there is already a great deal of interest in the Versatile Vehicle Architecture by it’s client base.

2009 Perodua MPV Rendered Speculation


Toyota Passo Sette 7-seater MPV: full details!

Toyota Passo Sette

Toyota’s latest compact 7-seater MPV has been unveiled in Japan on Christmas day, so let’s check out the full details of the new compact people carrier that will make its way onto Malaysian shores sometime in the second half of 2009 as the new Perodua MPV.

As with alot of other Toyota compact cars, the new MPV is available under both the Toyota and Daihatsu badges as compact cars like these are pretty much mainly Daihatsu-engineered as it is their speciality.

Toyota Passo SetteThe Toyota version is called the Toyota Passo Sette, which essentially means Passo Seven, or a 7-seater version of the Toyota Passo. Sette means seven in Italian. The Daihatsu version is called the Daihatsu Boon Luminas, where Luminas is a combination of the words roomy and luminous.

All variants of the Passo Sette and the Boon Luminas are powered by the 1.5 liter 3SZ-VE engine putting out 109 PS at 6,000rpm and 141Nm of torque at 4,400rpm. Both front wheel drive and 4WD variants use a 4-speed auto, and the front wheel drive version is rated at 15.6km per liter under the 10-15 Japanese test cycle. There is an Eco-Drive indicator light on the dashboard to inform the driver when his driving style is economical.

Toyota Passo Sette

As previously reported, the compact Toyota Passo Sette measures 4,180mm long, 1,695mm wide and 1,620mm tall, with a long 2,750mm wheelbase to maximize the interior space which is 2,550mm long. The Boon Luminas CX with a bodykit is slightly longer at 4,195mm. Other dimensions that Toyota has provided include a 1,630mm space between the front and rear seat rows, a 150mm split seat slide for the middle row, a wide 935mm rear door opening to ease getting in and out, and a 630mm hip point for the driver to also aide ingress and egress.

Despite the car’s relatively long wheelbase its wheels are at the edges of the vehicle so it is compact and it has a 5.2m turning radius.

Toyota has provided the Toyota Passo Sette with some nice features in the interior including a rear seat entertainment system with a 7 inch widescreen monitor, a DVD player with headphone outputs, and the ability to play different media in the front and rear entertainment systems. There is an optional keyless entry and start with a key fob.

Toyota Passo Sette

The Boon Luminas also comes standard with a “music server”, which essentially lets you rip 660 minutes of audio content from your audio CDs and store it onto the car’s on-board entertainment system so you don’t have to carry your CDs around in your car. This is also a specifiable option for the Toyota Passo Sette.

The Japanese specs offers some rather decent safety features, though in the interests of cost and maximizing profit I doubt all of them will make it onto the Perodua specifications. The Passo Sette and Boon Luminas has a total of 6 SRS airbags, vehicle stability control (VSC), traction control, Dynamic Support Headrests which reduce the risk of rear-end collision whiplash, and finally ABS brakes.

Toyota Passo Sette

Now for the Japanese market prices. The Daihatsu Boon Luminas has higher specs so it is more expensive starting from 1,535,000 yen all the way up to 2,073,000 yen, while the lower spec Toyota Passo Sette starts from 1,490,000 yen but can be fully loaded up to a maximum price of 2,033,000 yen.

Please continue reading for a whole load of more photos and videos! It will give you a rough idea of the car to expect next year from Perodua.


New Toyota Passo Sette / Daihatsu Boon Ruminous 7-seater MPV to make Christmas 2008 debut!

New Toyota MPV

LATEST UPDATE: Toyota Passo Sette 7-seater MPV - full details!

Toyota and Daihatsu have called for a joint press conference in Japan on Christmas day to unveil their latest 7-seater compact MPV, strongly believed to be named the Toyota Passo Sette and the Daihatsu Boon Ruminous. After the car’s public unveiling this month, it will go on sale early next year about the same time as Proton is expected to launch its MPV, which could pose a problem for Proton as potential customers in Malaysia would be able to get a preview of this new MPV that will hit Malaysian roads as a Perodua in Q3 2009, just half a year after the Proton MPV is launched.

Still, the two vehicles are not exactly in the same segment. This new Toyota/Daihatsu/Perodua MPV is smaller than the Proton MPV. However because is primarily a Daihatsu product, it inherits the Japanese K-car’s expertise in squeezing the most space into the smallest package. The engine under the hood will be the 3SZ-VE 1.5 liter that’s found in the Toyota Avanza, but installed transversely instead of longitudinally and powering the front wheels instead of the rear wheels.

Dimensions New MPV Sienta Wish Freed Myvi F/L
Length 4180mm 4100mm 4650mm 4215mm 3750mm
Width 1695mm 1695mm 1745mm 1695mm 1665mm
Height 1620mm 1670mm 1600mm 1715mm 1550mm
Wheelbase 2750mm 2700mm 2750mm 2740mm 2440mm

(dimension comparison table from my previous post)

Given how many Malaysians think long and hard between the Persona and the Myvi as if they were in the same segment when they are actually not because of similiar pricing, this new Perodua MPV could pose a real threat to the new Proton MPV for those who just must have a “Toyota”, whether with a Perodua badge or not.

An indicated price for the Japanese market car is between 1.45 million yen to 1.8 million yen, which is about RM57k to RM70k, so that should give you guys an idea how much a localised version would cost. Don’t expect things like the column shifter you see in the brochure above to make it into the Perodua version as the Passo also had that but it got switched to a traditional shifter between the seats for the Myvi.

Whether you want to call it the new Toyota Passo Sette, or the Daihatsu Boon Ruminous, or the 2009 Perodua MPV, you can check out interior photos and a side profile which have been revealed in the brochure above, which does not mention the vehicle’s name yet. Or for more details, check out the related links listed below.


2009 Perodua MPV: new artist’s impression

Perodua MPV

This is an artist’s impression of the upcoming Perodua MPV that is set to be released in Q3 2009. Theophilus Chin’s rendering is based on the upcoming Toyota-Daihatsu compact MPV project that is set to be launched in Indonesia in early 2009. The Malaysian launch will come soon after.

Theophilus has given the Perodua version of the new Toyota compact MPV an aggressive front bumper inspired by the front bumper of the Daihatsu Sirion Sport. The bulging nature of the front bumper’s wheel arches are to complement the slightly bulging rear wheel arch that the Toyota version has. The grille has hints of the new Hyundai i-series grille in it while the headlamps are inspired by the JDM Toyota Camry.

And there’s of course the Perodua badge. This is probably much more accurate than the random impression posted here some time ago.




2009 Perodua MPV Rendered Speculation

Perodua MPV

The upcoming Perodua MPV is still pretty far off, set to roll off the production lines only in September 2009, but here is a rendered speculation by Theophilus Chin of how it will might look like. Based on an existing Toyota compact MPV, the styling for this three row MPV rendering is largely based off the Perodua Viva.

Perodua CEO Datuk Hafiz mentioned in an interview with The Edge Weekly earlier this year that we should think of the new Perodua MPV as a smaller Toyota Wish that will have three rows and sit 6 people comfortably (probably not 7 because of a Perodua’s typically compact size and thus reduced width).

It will be based on the recently announced new Indonesian-based MPV model that was announced in March this year and is currently still under development by Toyota and Daihatsu. Perodua will apply its own styling onto the model.

Look after the jump for a rear shot of Theophilus Chin’s rendering as well as some other photoshop “experiments”. PS: KSG = Kenderaan Serba Guna.


Ingress gets Perodua MPV supply contract

Ingress Technologies Sdn Bhd was recently awarded the contract for the supply of 6 modules for a new Perodua model, which includes the reinforcement roof child part, door child part, rocker panel assembly, fuel lid assembly, lower back assembly and under rear sub-assembly. This will make ITSB a Tier-1 supplier.

Supply will start in the third quarter of the financial year ending January 31 2010. As this would mean sometime in the second half of 2009, this news confirms the circa-September 2009 launch date of the new Perodua MPV mentioned recently by Perodua head Datuk Hafiz.

New Perodua MPV coming in September 2009

Toyota Passo Sette

Perodua LogoUPDATE: The new Toyota MPV that the Perodua MPV will be based on has been unveiled! Click the linked text to find out how the new MPV looks like as well as its dimensions and specifications.

An interview with Perodua managing director Datuk Hafiz Syed Abu Bakar in The Edge Weekly has revealed some plans about Perodua this year. For one, Perodua will be undergoing a rebranding sometime in the middle of the year, which will coincide with the launch of the new Perodua Kembara. The rebranding exercise will also give Perodua a new logo, which will be more of a restyled evolution of the current one rather than something new.

The new Perodua Kembara will come with a 1.5 liter engine (likely the 3SZ-VE) and will have four-wheel drive. It will not be assembled locally by Perodua but will be a CBU import from Japan. It will be a low volume product, and the expected price tag is likely to be more than the Toyota Rush because of its higher specs (the 4WD drivetrain) and Japan sourcing. It will be targetted at the urban, upper-middle income group. Expect the new Perodua Kembara to be based on the short wheel base Daihatsu Terios with a May 2008 launch date.

Another surprise revealed in the article is Perodua’s plans for 2009. Perodua will launch a new three row 6-seater MPV in September 2009. Datuk Hafiz likened it to a Toyota Wish, but a smaller version. I wonder what could this be based on. Can’t really think of any compact 6-seaters from Daihatsu/Toyota other than the Daihatsu Gran Max, but that’s more of a Rusa-like van.

If you read this article by Xinhua News Agency posted on the 5th of March 2008. it is revealed that Toyota and Daihatsu is developing a new MPV in Indonesia. The MPV is set to be launched in 2009. This model is could be the one that the new 2009 Perodua MPV will be based on.

Anyway whatever it is, it’s something to look forward to next year. 2009 seems to be the year of the MPVs.
