The PROTON have to do more of it's own R&D to be a great cars manufacturer.

The new facelifted Kia Picanto takes on many design cues from the new Kia Cee’d range of cars on both the inside and outside. The new Kia front look combined with the Picanto’s height makes it look like a miniature Kia Rondo now.

I would really love to know that. to be honest, my opinion is, i think you are giving proton too much credit la. you think they actually bother to manufacture cars with different "skin" thickness for different markets? can you imagine the logistics nightmare involved? you have to line up all types of sheet metal with different thicknesses at the right time to go thru the stamping machine, and after that, you have to coordinate 2 sets of the same part with different thicknesses to ensure they get to the right car being assembled for the UK and Malaysian market... etc. etc. when you're assembling maybe 300 cars for malaysia for that day, and have to assemble another 40 for the uk... that makes it one massive jig saw puzzle.. same goes for painting, same paint, same coatings..etc. i dont think they will stop their entire line for "40" cars to reconfigure their entire painting process. so i'm guessing same as well. besides, the weight of the UK spec car, is exactly the same as the MY spec car. so unless they put ballast in the MY spec car, i'm guessing they have the same skin thickness. what i do know is, japan does do that for its cars. especially the "ASIAN" only models, a good example is the vios. they run a chassis with less steel than those in other markets. which explains why the vios only weighs 980+kg. thats even lighter than a 1.6 wira. and there are no aluminum or titanium parts in the vios thats for sure. even honda does it for the city.

Like free dual controls for gen2, 1pound deposit. Just to capture market. cause in UK they give ultra deals which over here they cannot do. Like free dual controls for gen2, 1pound deposit.

I actually liked that, it's a copycat of the Italian's supercar rims, bt it looks good, and you can say "Even a Lamborghini's rims look like ones in my car". Bt hey, for an exchange, they did make the interior look less Barbie doll's house-like, so I guess that's a pretty fair trade. Pretty sad they still couldn't provide a proper glove box, so u can't hide anything precious like a Smart Tag safely (bt then again, it's recommended u carry it wit u when u wanna get out of the car). I guess it doesn't rly matter to me cuz I always believed in nt leaving anything precious in the glove box, n that small tray can fit in a small tissue box properly, or some snacks. Bt I suppose to convince the customers, a glove box is necessary, so.....I can't rly comment much more than that :P They hvn't changed the radio's layout, they shud make it more like the one in Neo, or rather, fit in the ones exactly used in Neo. What's wit Blaupunkt? They can save more by providing a single radio design for two models, so why not do that? Ooo….no more Lamborghini Diablo-like rims (which even BMW Z4 also had)?
