which is nice.

and a way of proton telling people that they are lying to the malaysians.

first they created a naming contest for this mpv - stating clearly that names of animals or plants are not allowed.
then they chosed the name of exora for the new model.

and from where the name exora is based? ixora - a type of tropical plant with showy flowers.

if simply base on drama series, then what is so attractive behind the name? i see there is no strength in that word rather than nice to pronounce.

proton is killing digging their own graveyard again.

They can named it what ever they want lah what matters is a better car for malaysians for that kind of prize.
Not just a so-so ordinary car that the price tag placed slightly below all other MPV which is far better just to get impression of affordable MPV for most malaysians..

I doubt that flower can match with a widow.

Why oppose a good idea ?

The name has been unleashed, not the model. Due in April.

Read somewhere in the other blog, the Exora will have:
1. Bluetooth handsfree intergrated with premium audio system with steering call button.
2. 8.5 inch DVD monitor at center area
3. Rear aircond blower
4. Optitron meter
5. Spring mechanism headrest
6. Gated shift integrated on dashboard
7. Retractable driver left hand rest
8. 10 cup/ bottle holders
9. ABS, EBD, BA
10. 2 airbags
11. Fine tuned Campro CPS 1.6 to suit the mpv
12. Led rear lights
13. Wing mirror signal
14. Grandis interior size
15. Premium interior plastics & trimming
16. Lotus tuned suspension - rides and handles better than Wish.
etc....

highline auto cost rm75k. Anybody can verify this? Seems interesting
