Gurun plant build quality is quite good, so don't listen to hot air talk and competitor propaganda. Go see for yourself.

The Kia Rio is also built on the hyundai accent platform. So to say they improve quicker than proton is not entirely accurate. PAUL, is this kia a production ready model? launched? on sale? i also wonder, do all hybrid cars use a 144volt batt? the EVE system from lotus uses a 144 volt batt as well.

(1=1) anyway i dont blame auto industry struggling for cleaner environment, anyway its actually a race, who be the first, and dont want to left out. so hybrid car power train is heavier to accomodate both, to compansate that some bodypart need lightweight material,..

At least they improve faster then P1, and their engine is CVVT engine. While our P1 still with what? Campro? WTF that only a DOHC engine without any fuel saving system on it! Even a VVT or VTC also non... I bet KIA is more better then P1 now for overall quality... Except made from NAZA haha... Now i even thinking that korean cars are more better then malaysian P1.
