i think when comes to Diesel improvement in M'sia

IMHO,

when quality improved, price increase

when quality deteriorate, price remain the same!

a diesel from Proton???

i suggest u to wait another 10 years….or maybe

till 2020 which is only a mere 13 years away…

anyway Proton still can get help from Renualt as usual,

or Mitsubishi as well for engine supplies……. or VW maybe ?

or GM ?

The engine's good, but our diesel quality sucks..

Heard that Govt is trying to regulate for a better quality diesel. Hopefully this will be implemented soon (without any price penalty – wishful thinking ya)

high time for malaysian to drive green diesel engine, pollution? ..

with euro 1,2, or whatever standard compliant, its cleaner,,, and cheaper even rd tx is cheaper(than normal diesel engined), with km/litre far outdo the patrol,

wise maker or importer should go for this,

the closes i've been to a boxer engine, was an impreza wrx pulling away from a traffic light… the pounding sound of the boxer just stays with you!

this diesel, will it intimidate road users such as the petrol version??
