The Neo-VVL system Nissan used is now called a CVT system. And one more thing- is Honda the first to use the system? Thanks.

But I like the look judging from the spy shot of the test car. As long it's priced less than 300k, can attract buyer alrdy.

We are in 2005 and Gen2 does not even have CAMPRO yet! By the way, I think Proton has severed its relationship with Petronas and thus Gen2/CAMPRO is not the legendary 100hp/ltr unit!

It was not popular. Simply because for the same price, you get cars with bigger engine displacement and space too. To be fair, a Subaru Impreza 2.0 retails around that price too. Which would you choose? So the conversion is direct. What I do know about imported cars in Oz is that when it's 40-50k, you know you're in for a treat. And any cars 30k and above are almost luxurious or powerful. A BMW 318i 2.0 retails around 40-50k. So when you convert it to Malaysian, it's around 120-150k, and just multiply it by 2, and you get Malaysian pricing. Hopefully that's not going to be the idea for the Ultimate lah! Cheers.
