Today lunch out with big guy & vp. Talk abt new Japan CBU Mitsubishi Lancer in company. 13K cheaper than CKD Civic 2.0. Lancer engine is more powerful but heavier. Civic 2.0 is less powerful but lighter. One more plus point for Lancer is, there's space in engine cabin ready for turbo charge.

vp points out in his experience, in a roadshow somewhere, an average Joe ah beng put a positive comment on the Lancer outlook, meaning the Lancer will have a potentially good demand and resale value in local market here.

Conclusion? Have yet to try it out.
