For all of you who are following Buretin utama in TV3, some of you may saw a news about the coming new Proton. Rumours, discussion, pictures about this new Proton Waja is all around the internet since very long ago. This time, TV3 managed to get some sneak preview of the model. As we know, the coming new Waja will be based on the Mitsubishi Lancer where Proton is allowed to rebadged it using the Lancer.

According to the source, this rebadged version will be injected with proton's DNA and of course Lotus engineering which is not available in the Lancer. The new model is ready to be launched with the finish of all the tests. Few of the new model is currectly assemble in Shah Alam plant. It will be available in both manual and auto transmission with the engine specification to be named next month. According to them also, the price will be competitive and set to be launched next month.

Besides new Waja, a facelift model from one of the current best selling Protons will be launched during the KL International Motor Show at the end of this year. Persona just get facelifted. Maybe Saga? or Savvy? Looking forward to this year KL motor show with surprises from Proton.

KTM's ETS......

The new Electric Train Service (ETS) is really much awaited by many. It cut the travel time from 3 hours to 2 hours from KL to Ipoh. ETS is more greener to run, smooth, safe and comfortable. When you see the ETS, it is actually looks like a upgraded version of existing train. Being priced at RM30 from KL to Ipoh which is higher than the normal train is worthy. In ETS, you have socket on each seat which is very convenient for those who have laptop, netbook with them. You even can charge your handphone...haha.......other than that, ETS also have F&B coach to eat, LED TV for entertainment and vacuum toilet. It is definitely better than the old one, and with new option of transportation mode available, people can looking forward to better future. Maglev train with more than 200km/h, perhaps?
