intermilan,

They’re going to CKD 308 low end version (1.6 NA Engine I presume). But I heard they will bring in the CBU first (which should be the high end engine with light pressue turbo 1.6L 150HP 240nm Torque). This 1.6L are more powerful than the 2.0L EW10J4 and also much better FC and cleaner for the environment. Impressive!

For the CKD, from what I heard that day from their discussion, it should be below 100K, *possibly* below 90K. Either way, the 308 selling below 100K is way low, too bad the public can’t understand it (comparing with ASEAN imports and exchange rates), just like the 206 CKD (aka Bestari) and upcoming 407 CKD.

wonder what would be the selling price of ’standard’ 308 wif 1.6 na engine if launch in Msia.
Below 90K for the CKD version? There will be 308 CKD rite?

I personally like peugeot cars and i really hope that nasim would also have a good after sales service. if things go smooth in a year of two, people will gradually have confidence in peugeot cars = peugeot cars will have a better resale value = people not afraid to buy peugeot cars for the fear of high depreciation value.

kingglim what do you mean by ‘con’ people? 206 is still being sold worldwide (probably until 2010). It’s a good car, CKD kit from Europe, at a very good price. Look up JMEPA here on Paul Tan’s site, read the press release links, try and understand exchange rates, duty structure and draw your own conclusions about the industry before writing things which are defamatory. Remember, watch what you say because if what you write is proven untrue in court you could be tracked down and held liable, and made to pay a heft sum.

i don’t think there’ll be any other naza branded peugeots after the 206 so peugeot fans can be happy.

Yet, Naza still trying to con Msians wif the way way outdated 206.

No they won’t rebadge. It was unveiled in Glenmarie as PEUGEOT 308 & PEUGEOT 407. Check Paul’s other posts below.

There’s no such thing as a 407 1.6 NA. I don’t think it would fit down your throat either.

Wrong legend. Its the 205 Rallye you’re talking about. Bare skins and bones that one and cheap. I just gave up on looking for cheap fun drives. They are extinct.

Forget about Nasim bring french fun here. Its the 407 ainit? That’s what they want to push down our throats. How bout 407 with 1.6 engine NA? Yea more likely. Boring.

This car should be RM180k OTR here. Perhaps same as Golf GTI. just my 2 cents.

just look same like others Peugeot’s car..but i think cool front design..very fierce and brutal looks…decent interior…cool engine power…overall nice car

For this car, it’s a total different feeling from the picture and actually being there, probably becasue of the design and curves. It’s true for most Peugeot cars, but this one’s more particular. Before, I’ve already seen many pictures, including reviews from The Star, and I tought, “not bad”, but when I see the real unit in person at the Peugeot 3S Glenmarie Opening Ceremony, it’s so much difference. I even taken photo, but when I view back, it can’t bring the same feeling of seeing the real thing.

For this one 308 GT, the PCM members were talking to one of the people there and he said most probably it will not be more than RM150K!
The 206GTi 138 already priced more than 150K OTR. If this one can really come below RM150K, it’s…
