For starters, 20 years ago, cars in US are built big and strong even though they dont have airbags and abs. The roads in US are well kept and very wide. As US is a very big country, there are not many cars in the surburbs. PPl working downtown usually takes the train or subway. Traffic jams are unavoidable but generally drivers are well behaved and patient – unlike the monsters on wheels here. If someone come to a stop look go sign, they stopped, looked, then wait for the other person who stopped before them to go first. In Malaysia, we don't obey any signs at all. With our clunker milo tins as cars, no wonder our casuality rates are one of the highest in the world. Highest car prices, highest death rates aside, malaysians still continue speeding as there is no tomorrow. For some, there won't be.

on a different view, take back 20 years, the car would be roughly what we get now, lousy design, no airbags, ABS, EBD, etc. How are the fatalities then, in America and the Europes.

i would guess that Malaysia still has the higher death per capita on the roads.

This one never count the intrest of financing for 7-10 years yet lah.. (Since seefu brought up other hidden costs)

lambat laun, sure kau chor. "please note that there is no shouting in my reply"

What other trucks can you get that can rival an Evo in quarter mile time?

And uh, how safe do y'all think the seatbelt attached to the seat is? Look at the Ford pictures la… I mean, if there is a severe impact from the rear, severe enough to push the seat forward, won't it mean the seatbelt is quite ineffective? Maybe there are other methods to preventing this… Someone care to enlighten me?

if thousands of cars can drive on LPT everyday without an accident, one bmw driving there and then crashing because of the bumpy surface?

You are correct that Ford F series have been used by our Bomba but it is F-250 Super Duty and not F-150.

Here is the price list from EON. (Waja 1.8L without Airbags but with ABS)

The price is near to RM70K
http://www.eon.com.my/images/default/articles/113…

And this one is Waja 1.6L with Airbag but no ABS.The price is near to RM66K
http://www.eon.com.my/images/default/articles/113…

Also this one. Waja 1.8L with Airbags and ABS. Price nearly RM77k.
http://www.eon.com.my/images/default/articles/113…

Therefore, if you need Waja 1.6L with both Airbags and ABS the price is nearly RM73K to RM75K. TOP UP about …..close to RM10k for Both safety features!! (This calculation is very very ROUGH only, plus the profit taken by maker for installation, so do argue on the price especially on Accessories differences)

It's resonable??? Please correct me if I am wrong!!

YAU MOU GAU…..CHOR!!!

It seems "see fu" Kau chor already. Waja selling for 62,000 with 2 air bags, so is the Gen 2 also 2 airbags, EBD, ABS

even 9years cars they still willing to do improvement, emm… and is a safety features. well done. they did this with their pride, i guess.

POTONG? yupe, i agree that G must force all the car manufacturer to add in air bag and ABS to their product, and with most minimum cost. 3K maximum!! well, i wondering what barrier that G face to implement this as a laws? emm… anyone know?

cheerss…

waja /w 2 airbags cost less than 70k.

The Ford test shows something that all of us always overlook.. Size doesn't always matter

LPT is probably the best place for the speed demons. Brand new, long straights, but for me it's not up to the standard. Standard of workmanship. I believe they have found the best layout. But they failed in implimenting it. Bad alignments. Rain water flowing everywhere. Bumps everywhere. Even a Beemer end up in an accident because of the bumps. (The car totaled, luckily the driver survive). And for the poor Kelisa, he might have skidded because of the flowing water across the highway. I'm quite familiar with that stretch.

As you can see Ford improved the design even thou only after 7 years. Its the step that they take that counts. Which is the other way around for Proton. Waja is an old model already and I haven't seen any improvement to the current design (read structure strength, not facelift). They should improve the safety features at least if they are not replacing the model in the nearest future.

And please. Stop selling the Iswara, now!

and then "2001" Ford F-150 = 2005 Jiangling Landwind !?!?!?!?!?!
