Satria Neo CPS - Proton Gets It Both Right and Wrong

The first time I saw a picture of the Satri Neo, I became convinced that it would be the car to replace my Waja 1.6L (M). However, when I actually test drove one, I said, "No, not gonna happen".
In terms of its shape, this car can really turn heads. But up close, you start seeing all sorts of design oversights that would cause you to whinge.
The most troublesome is the misaligned driving position, in that the steering is off-centre to the left in relation to the driver's seat. Over the long run, this misaligned position would cause back-aches.
When I brought it up with a Proton bigwig, he said half jokingly, "I don't know what you're talking about".
Clearly, he had no choice but to be in denial. Proton had already committed to producing the Neo with such a serious defect that to rectify the mistake (which involves product recalls) would be financially ruinous.
Nonetheless, I must say that the CPS engine in the Satri Neo CPS is quite good. With some more tweaking, it can easily produce about 140 Bhp, which is 15 Bhp more than its factory specification.
And if you really have the money to spare for engine tweaking, you should also weld and bang into place a bucket seat that's properly aligned with the steering wheel (as much as possible).
But if you're going to go down that path, you might as well do something about the over-flared wheel arches. Proton has done nothing to compensate for the sunken-wheels look that the Neo CPS comes with now, especially in the back.
This makes the Neo CPS look comical and even hideous.
Oh, well. This is probably to be expected. After all, Proton is known for getting things right and wrong at the same time.
