Starfish94 · 9 December 2015 18:42

Did you just saw one in real life

anyway to my curiosity , which car does the Neo look like?

[quote=“Starfish94”]Did you just saw one in real life

anyway to my curiosity , which car does the Neo look like?[/quote]

the back. it’s this car isnt it?

and about seeing one. it’s my family’s car

but the rest of it… i cant recognise at all. no car around here today has that many grille

but spec wise. it’s fitted with a bigger engine. same suspension setup though

1.2l i3 vs 1.3l i4 (cant wait for odd numbered cyl engines) and only about 800kgs irl

and it wouldn’t pass as the cheap car category here (i mean by law)

-basic rules. minimal 20km/l.
-price for the base model has to be about $7200 (and up to only $9400 for the trims).
-maximum 1.2l engine
-about 80% of the components has to be made locally

Starfish94 · 10 December 2015 05:23

yeah datsun! i got inspired by them tho . anyway i will try lowering car prices , but for engines we only have smallest 1.3l , for RE Series ,although we do have 1.0l but we tried and its kinda underpower , the 1.3l stick best .
