But now compare with BMW, ppl vote for Neo pulak. Is it ppl bash blindly? Talk about Neo's cramp interior. Look at what a 200K car gets you? About the same I guess.

However, I'm with RM, it still does look quite wrong.... The 318 hatch makes a comeback...... things done better but looks awful. Looks better with 2 less doors.

One more thing, BMW is not suitable to build hatchback, they just really fit with premium models! I can't image if they make more compress the design of this to size of Kancil, really ugly. So, the decision is,hatchback not for BMW. If this 1series compare with Neo in many criteria, of course the latest Proton's model is the winner. Don't believe? Think again. Neo is better than this.
