If rigid chassis is what people are after.. I wonder how many people 'sanggup' drive a spot welded car chassis? NVH can throw out the window oh!
And even if like aalto said, sure, the chassis are welded extra for strength, but it's replicate-able on lower end chassis, provided you're willing to spend the dosh.
Anyway, I like the sGTI.. it would have been a good choice if I was going to go the forced induction route for power... done up properly, I think it'd be a contender as a sports compact.
Thing is.. most people ruined the image of the proton brand by sticking many, many, many mitsubishi stickers. With some even diluting it with spoon, TRD, mugen, blizt, jun tuning, etc. etc.... :rolleyes:
The new neo looks nothing like from the mitsubishi stable, and I like it a lot.. I wonder what kind of engine you can put inside with minimal mods... anyone heard of a boosted satria neo? (looks + power) :P
That actually makes me avoid proton brand like a plague more than it's well-known power windows. :P
