Went to Glenmarie to see.
- 18 inch wheels (lightweight, says the salesman)
- Yokohama Advan A10
- Soft Nappa leather semi buckets
- RM111k++ selling price, RM115k++ OTR price with insurance
- RM1,017 per month (9 years loan, 10% downpayment)
- RM3,173.90 insurance (RM112k insured value)
- first Evo X platform available on Malaysian soil?
This car will be a market conqueror.
Civic 2.0S is RM12k more expensive. Type R which was launched a week ago? RM83k difference. Looks like Honda went straight into an ambush.
Few years down the line, owners will be unable to ignore the itch to transform the Lancer to Evo X. Similar platform (although FF), same 2.0 cc. Evo X for less than a price of a Type R.
But heck, in stock version, it's already a MIVEC 2.0.
Say hello to AFTA.
