I've paid my deposit for Optra 1.6(ThaiGold) on 15th Mac upon the SA
confirming there is stock still available by phone to KL. Was told my baby
will arrive in the 2 weeks. Went home happy. Anyway i am from Penang.
Two weeks later,
Recieve a call from SA the day my baby should be arrived. No more stock,
only left silver and blue. PissOff with HICOM, how come I was only told no
more stock only on deliverly date ,they should already know the status of
their stock upon recieving my order not 2 weeks later. I expect HICOM be
more efficient then PROTON.
Anyway, i need to wait (don't know until when) for ThaiGold as i already
fall in love with this colour. Can anyone tell me will i be charge the new
price if the stock arrive is 2004 stock?

Hope to join you guys and be a proud owner of OPTRA.

kchuan - sorry to hear bout the delay. i had a similar experience. i chose
black and it took nearly 3 months to receive the car. since you have
pratically fell head over heel over ThaiGold, wait for it. Don't
compromise by chosing other shade. As for the price increase, i'm not too
sure. ThaiGold looks classy. Not for me though....i prefer Black...no
pantang whatsoever....Cool

That's exactly what happened to me, kchuah. So I compromised by getting a
silver. Didn't want to wait another month for Thai Gold. I was pretty
pissed when it happened but what to do. Screw the SA ah...

Also didn't want to take the risk of getting a more expensive car if the
new stock is for the 2004 car. I mean, they can simply raise the Optra
1.8 by 3K for nothing. So, they can do the same for the rest. Best take
precautions.

Hi all Chevy owners,

I should be joining the list within the next 1 to 2 days. I'm from PJ and
am planning to get Nabira 1.8 CD. Am still struggling to decide which
color to choose. I like Magma Red but was told by the SA that there isn't
any difference between Magma Red and Shanghai Red (which I don't think
so).

Can anyone 'throw me some lights' please? Thanks!


-Ken

Hi Ken,

There is a different between Magma Red and Shanghai Red. Magma red is
slightlier on the darker side.

ken,

if not mistaken, nabira come only with one red color, not two. aveo has 2
red colors. reconfirm again with your SA. they should have color sample in
the brochure for each model

Hi Ajay,

I think you're right, I check with SA from 2 different Chevy dealers and
they told me there's only 1 x red (Shanghai Red) for Nabira. According to
them, they've just double-confirmed this with Hicomobil. Now I'm totally
confused. I was promised the Magma Red and am rather disappointed to know
Nabira does not come in that color. Why are they still having it printed
in the brochure then? I'm confused. :(

Anyone out there own a Magma Red Nabira? Please let me know if any.
Thanks!

-Ken
