This time i choose to wait n see. Yes 1.6 sound ridiculous with its seemingly large chassis but who knows it would perform well enough to attract buyers.

Exora estimated weight will be 1380kg.

Some comparison from the other blog, power to weight ratio:

Nissan Grand Livina 1.6 Auto
1245kg
HR16DE without variable valve
105hp
150Nm at 4,400rpm
84.34bhp per tonne

1280kg
MR18DE
126hp
174Nm at 4,800rpm
98.44bhp per tonne

1120kg
3SZ-VE from Daihatsu
109hp
141Nm at 4,400rpm
97.32bhp per tonne

(Rush similar with additional 200kg weight + RM10k)

Toyota Innova 2.0G auto
1575kg

Later the argument will focus towards torque...

Even on innova my friend is complaining the power for a 2.0 L car what else for a 1.6cps???
I would like to see the car first

[peedoot]

There's a teaser today in The Star..not sure about other newspaper...

Looks good...

[alldisc]

for 80K, i will go for citra rondo instead. 2.0 CVVT with no timing belt. grand livina has a low roofline.

i will not need 10 cupholders for crying out loud.

CPS is performing well in gen2 and waja, and its performance can be appreciated at the top end of the rev band.

[alldisc]

alldisc,
relax bro, i know you entered and lost that naming contest same as me but nevermind, let's wait for the next Proton SUV naming contest (if any) OK..

i do not mind losing, but the reasoning they gave for choosing exora is ridiculous.

Yes u can see there the power to weight ratio for Innova even the 2.0G auto is only 86.35bhp per tonne. While the Exora estimated figure will be 90.58 horsepower per tonne.

Citra Rondo, though using 2.0l engine, also recorded decent 91.2 bhp per tonne which is similar to Exora. Yes some people might argue timing belt is a hassle, but research shows that timing belted engine have lower NVH and recorded slightly better fc.

The only grin i have is whether the Exora will have enough torque.

timing chain has a longer service life; at least 400,000km. timing belt is designed to go max 100K only.

exora has good power to weight ratio but bear in mind that the extra power comes only at a higher rpm when the timing is altered by the CPS. in real life driving... most of the users will be driving around 2-3,000rpm only.

still 80K is one price too high. 10 cupholders dont do justiceto it. neither cheap dashboard control knobs.
as malaysian, we expect better.

Well the 2008 Rondo has 10 cupholders as well. 2009 Rondo has 8 cupholders.

We should be using torque instead of power as it is torque which gives you pulling power.

yalo... da reason sux!!! LOLZ.... and why da winner is a malay AGAIN ar? last time savvy oso a malay winner.... not fair la.... shud giv other races oso de ma... >.<... and who won da vacation trip ar?
