If the pricing is very good (lesser than Honda City/Vios for a 1.6 spec), I might consider to buy one in the future. Hopefully the petrol consumption is very improved also. I agreed with you kahing... I sincerely believe Malaysian car manufacturers (Proton especially) have enough creative talents in their R&D to design an equally (if not better) car design like this Chevy Cruze. If you guys can still remember the newspaper ad during Persona launch, Proton revealed the early design sketching of Persona, which IMHO is waaaaayyyy better than the actual product. However due to $$$ limitation to realised a new model or over projection in ordering Gen-2 parts from vendors perhaps whatsoever, Persona is "forced" to share the same Gen-2 headlights, taillights etc.. etc. TOO BAD...
