Satria Replacement Model – Padang Besar, Perlis
Hasadi managed to capture these shots of the Satria Replacement Model in Padang Besar, Perlis. The SRM was stuck in mud, so it could not run away from the camera!

owhh demm…i think that bling bling rim will be used…urghh why not used rims like work emotion duhh… :p
December 19, 2005 @ 2:05 am
after second thought, the SRM looks quite fragile. my doubts on proton still there.
December 19, 2005 @ 2:08 am
The bling-bling rims are still there!!!
December 19, 2005 @ 2:09 am
Look again, the front arches look big! European styling??
December 19, 2005 @ 2:13 am
…err i noticed the exhaust tail pipe is located at the center….damn….
December 19, 2005 @ 2:32 am
Well …….. it is not a 4WD.
December 19, 2005 @ 6:44 am
hm…. i think this is not so called SRM but satria new facelift….
just changes a little bit from front & behind !!!
front left is damaged !!! is proton still using milo tin?
December 19, 2005 @ 8:42 am
why din hasadi take shots of the interior, it’s such a good time to take a few shots of the interior for us to view. we are bored wif the exterior, dun even want to waste breath toking bout it. wasted, wasted.
December 19, 2005 @ 8:48 am
First off, front left is NOT damaged. The camo has peeled. It is after all, tape. That is, i believe what you may assume as “not decisively indicative of build quality”…
As for the SRM being a facelift, a lil (but infinitely reliable) bird has said no. It is, all new i.e. shares no parts with predecessor.
How the F&^! does a car ‘look’ fragile under all that tape, stuck in the mud? Has something resembling plastic stuck out from those 2 pics, that i didnt catch? Did it peep Milo somewhere? Gosh.
I have come to manage my own personal expectations regarding proton, and cars in general. Unless i m buying a modern-era VW or a circa late 90’s onwards Toyota, things will inevitably start going downhill (please do not bother posting “but my proton came in after !!” Lets save Paul some time). You should too:)
It is NOT going to be a god-awesome car, it is NOT going to be a 1-series (although can rival quality on a relative basis hahahaha), it is NOT going to have VW-build quality, it is NOT going to be your favourite car. But maybe, just maybe, it could be half decent.
Lets keep an open mind ey, and see/feel/touch/drive at launch.
Hey, at least the bling rims look good in the mud:)
December 19, 2005 @ 9:12 am
Did we manage to get the interior shots this time?
December 19, 2005 @ 9:29 am
well said aik.
work emotion rims? no new car launched by car manufacturers in the whole wide world uses work emotion rims. so what does that mean?
December 19, 2005 @ 9:53 am
yerrr.. geli…
December 19, 2005 @ 9:58 am
jus lunch the Bl**** car la!! spyshots til wen la! although its is a gen2 half cut basically,i noticed the front lights and the bonnet look diff with sharper edges,anybody to confirm??
December 19, 2005 @ 10:20 am
Hoooo Hummm! talk bout those rims again?…
December 19, 2005 @ 10:23 am
lousy car lousy car!!!
the car is crack at the front oredi!!! LOUSY STUPID CAR from potong again..
December 19, 2005 @ 10:40 am
hey.. why are u all arr?? kutuk baseless…
those are not like the rims should tukar aftermarket rims laa… why kecoh2 takmau rims tu (maybe p1 will fit another rims design as add. accesories)
then… ape nie (cakap ‘peel off laa’, ‘crack front laa’, ‘front left damaged laa’, blah.. blah…) aiia… those are DUCK-TAPES… takkan itu pun tak tau…jangan jadi bolo… its just covers the exterior from spy-shots (like Hasadi do). If u wanna see less covered body, see here http://www.channel4.com/4car/gallery/spyshots-2005/P/proton/trm-srm_page_10.html. For iguanaa.. the centred exhaust tail pipe is nice what? its a latest style. Tak payah susah2 u want to modify it after u buy it and nobody will saman u becoz of changing the original exhaust spec….
December 19, 2005 @ 10:43 am
Lets all take a prayer not only for the unblind who do not see, and the (sic) undeaf who do not hear.
(by the way, are spy shots THAT surprising. Its a forking msian car manufacturer.. what do you expect to not see it tested here?!?!? Test in timbuktu then you ll say Proton benefit foreigners by helping their economy. And let’s not even go to “eh we dont see so many civic spy shots oso..” shall we.. )
honda_driver: thanks. and good reply on the work emotions.
December 19, 2005 @ 10:59 am
haiyaa…duck-tape also dont know..nak kutuk2 proton lagi…go study some more laa…SRM is a normal car..not super duper expensive car..think about it again laa proton bashers…
December 19, 2005 @ 11:14 am
Just nice, a new car stuck in a mood
now i very doubtful how this car gonan survive when it’s launched. Aiks!
December 19, 2005 @ 11:14 am
Sui Lo
very beautiful rims.
December 19, 2005 @ 11:17 am
Senseless bashing again!!!
When will it stop?
December 19, 2005 @ 11:44 am
bash again. and that what paul need to do = delete pointless message .
Yeah, it’s ‘works’ btw . But i think, after several delete of the post like that, they will know what they did is wrong(perhaps).
Everytime the bash out of fact = delete and delete again. They wont that again later..
Actually i already tired to see this, and i wish that paul will do as almost requested, Thanks also for the topic ‘proton bashing’.
Lets boicot the basher. But HOW? ‘Just bang them back?
Nevermind. Wont mention iy anymore.
In my logical sense, it’s HARD TO A FR CAR STUCK IN THE MUD .
And almost car that can stuck in / on a Padang or Rumput area usually caused by 2 fact.
1 – The Tire
2 – Heavy Car .
so i think BOTH FACT above. So it’s denying the someone said = ‘Tin Milo?’ .
So, if the car is tin milo, the weight supposed not so heavy, and of course THE MAN can PUSH THE CAR OUT OF THE MUD EASYLY.
That’s my logical thinking and analis. (at least we had a logical sense rite?) .
December 19, 2005 @ 1:39 pm
Lagi2 TIN MILO bo.d.h betul la lu orang ni….
mana ada kat malaysia ni buat plate untuk kereta…..
semua tu besi datang dari jepun juga….datang la kat PROTON tengok sendiri…..jangan jadi katak bawah tempurung la…

just another version of gen 2 with 2 rear doors sealed up.wat is so special about this car?driving all over town yet after launching with the same old problems repeated?make sure the quality improve to win back those heart broken owners.
December 19, 2005 @ 8:42 pm
Hasadi (who took these pics) said the interior i.e seats made from fabric (not like gen2) so the pics from another post with all the leather seat, and horrible dashboard i guess belongs to another model lah… phew
December 19, 2005 @ 9:09 pm
by using an old mit su colt thay have turned the satria GTI n R3 into some very well driving machine…..
this new platfrom from ground up should provide for even more cracking drive..
i sincerely hope the interior is beter than gen 2 n even better than the savvy
December 19, 2005 @ 9:11 pm
it must be world class if they hope to win back some hearts n to compete in the real world…….ehheheh……

I was going to make a booking tomorrow. Can u believe it ? ha ha ha…

Kind of makes me think that there are a few BIG GABRA & BLURR king over in
Toyota ( UMW ?? ) as well.
December 19, 2005 @ 9:29 pm
lorr..poor proton basher..even they use proton..cant afford other europe/japan car..huhu..but still want to bash proton..
quite nice shots..i’ve spot it for two time..1st at the kompleks sukan negara..n one..i even ambik gambar this one..at the tapah r&r (PLUS)..but one thing i notice..that one i saw in tapah..doesn’t have the sport rim..but the stock kilang rim..those just like in new saga..black colour..
December 19, 2005 @ 9:36 pm
errr ajip, the previous interior pic is actually SRM also but maybe with different spec. that pic kenot describe SRM interior design fully & to add more those pic was meant for patent rights onli. the one i saw in pdg besar got nice Blaupunkt single disc player. forgot to mention in me blog.
about the burned CAMRY, do check this link also. hehehehe

Hasadi thanks for the picture eventhough as the Proton employee pledge not to take more picture as he might loose his job, maybe you should referred on what Paul did.
We don’t want our sincere action turn out bad impact to other people right.
Anyway, I eagerly waiting for this model and the model should reflect the new enthusiasm in proton. Of course I don’t expect it to near perfect as Golf GTi or even Mitsu Colt. At least up market than current Satria. Expect the R&H and NVH much better than current Satria or Wira version.
December 19, 2005 @ 10:41 pm
hey i got afew pics………paul.of the srm in ipoh.how do i post them?
December 19, 2005 @ 11:25 pm
heh, I think the SRM is dead sexy. Got a good look at a few when G2C attended proton’s defensive driving course at their shah alam R&D/plant facility recently.
as well as a sneakily covered Coupe next to their R&D labs
. who knows what it actually is (PRM anyone?)

moe6: You’re not kidding are you? Everyone! Prepare your camera! Who knows it will be seen tested on the public road, soon!
December 20, 2005 @ 2:43 am
omg so fast already accident … the rims really ugly… the body quite chun man.. but i guess is another weak body product again
December 20, 2005 @ 5:12 am
It was definitely a coupe, it had a rear spoiler on already as well. I don’t recognise the proportions, and there really aren’t many Putra style coupe cars around anymore either
What piqued my attention was the fact that they felt it was big enough of a secret they had to cover it completely under canvas. we were not allowed to bring cameras on the trip, and yet still this much secrecy
. Except the SRM la, they left them there in their yard plain to see. There were 3 different spoilers for the SRM as well.
December 20, 2005 @ 7:59 am
kutuk.. kutuk.. kutuk..
bila jeremy kutuk kelisa pandai plak korang marah@sakit hati.
December 20, 2005 @ 10:43 am
car not in production yet already stuck in mud.
wat next? kleeman? 4wd? amt? lotus handling? VW? how patriotic
December 20, 2005 @ 11:39 am
I know that this satria will be a good looking car .. this will be a very important car proton and i hope the will deliver.
December 20, 2005 @ 11:59 am
i think. they learn from the past.
Do not tergesa-gesa launch like savvy .
No need to compete.
What i do believe in next. The already tested for the something that’s might be FOR THE GOOD . I just wonder they dont care what others said about their delayed / posponed launch .
MAYBE :
On test AMT into the car.
On test Version by version bla bla.
Maybe they want to make this one is the BEST one from Proton.
Wish so.. (perhaps)
For those anti proton and basher.. Leave this car alone.
Until it launch.. and then, let we decide it with our PROFESSIONAL JUDGEMENT!.
Tak guna korang kutuk2 macam koranghebat sangat. Kalau kaya sangat pegi beli BMW 6 series tuh duk diam2 dah.
December 20, 2005 @ 12:20 pm
I think Proton is delaying the lainch to further test this car to prevent fiasco like Gen2 from occuring again…..but i dun like 3 door cars.
December 20, 2005 @ 4:38 pm
watch bodyline carefully and u will find a combination of gen 2 wit savvy.what would it be then? Gravvy? Graveyard? or God 2 Save U.
anyway savvy is a bless among other proton’s cars. just give them another chance, will us?
December 20, 2005 @ 4:41 pm
Stil llok like a face lifted satria to me. Probably with Gen 2 face.
December 20, 2005 @ 8:05 pm
guys, i suggest to ignore those useless comments…
of coz, i can’t say i not bashing before.
but i try to state the fact that i have experience.
i still look forward to c useful comments from you guys.
cheers…
December 20, 2005 @ 8:59 pm
let’s wait until it’s launched. sit down and see how it goes…
if it’s ok then nevermind…
if it sux, then if u guys wanna kutuk puas-puas, nobody gonna stop the bashers.
so, bersabar sikt… kita tunggu sampai launch…
December 20, 2005 @ 9:49 pm

there r no rims, only wheel cap..maybe a lower spec model..
December 21, 2005 @ 12:56 am
woow i wonder if the bling bling rim comes with 17 inch size XD
December 21, 2005 @ 1:00 am
sangkut dlm lumpur? alah….biasalah…kete mane yg tak pernah sangkut dlm lumpur…..
bile la SRM nak masuk local market?
December 21, 2005 @ 11:05 am
alah…
everybody tallking nonsense..it same goes when gen2 was still in testing process…everybody kutuk that car..and what happen when it already launched…everybody said “hah..got gen2 also style what..”that car dosent seem so bad lah..common people..just wait and see..this is a great car man..a new generation of proton..should be thankful la..proton didnt come out whit copy from mitshubishi anymore..for me, this car is the top of my “want to buy”list…great price worth with style and performance..anyway,the rims look not up to date la..if proton apply the five clubs rims it should be great…however, bole beli rim lain aper kalu proton apply rim bling2 tu jugak..next year bonus kan ader..keshkeshkesh!!
December 21, 2005 @ 11:29 am
Ah….. looks not much different from the exsisting satria.. just having a face lift that can consider as replacement for satria.. u must be kidding me.. Duh… engineer in proton must have tot people like the exhaust pipe to be placed in the middle… sigh..
December 21, 2005 @ 2:45 pm
so what is the spec of this SRM ? anyone got rough idea ?
December 21, 2005 @ 7:09 pm
The SRM will come in 4 versions. 1.3 auto and manual and 1.6 auto and manual. The 1.3 manual will come with a lower grade seat fabric. 1.3 auto and above will have the high grade fabric.
December 22, 2005 @ 10:00 am
“still look like a face-lifted satria??” i just dont understand comments like that.
it isnt called the Satria replacement model for nothing
look at the bmw 3 series from the 80’s till 2005. dont they all “look” like a 3 series? hmmm…. so what should the SRM look like? an MPV???
December 22, 2005 @ 12:58 pm
aiyo..stop bashing liao lar…if u guys don’t like it or whatever…then voice it out politely and plz do more research lar. This car’s design overall is different from Colt/ Satria, how come you people still keep on guessing it is a reengineered car. plz pay atttention when leaving comment. Our fren paul will be happy if u ppl respect what he said in previous post.
December 22, 2005 @ 4:38 pm
you ppl seriously dont know much about cars that are not in production yet do you? ITS DUCT TAPE LA not damage bodo betul la some of you… they do that so that you keep on guessing on the final look… btw if you ppl buy the car and hate the rims go change it la… my dads honda accord v6 also he didnt like the rims and change it so whats the big hu ha ? you want proton to custom each car for you is it? ASS!
December 22, 2005 @ 10:11 pm
not yet sell also stuck in mud..aiyoh, imagine what type of quality it has when made production. Really hoping Jeremy clarkson will smash one of these to show the world’s dissatisfication on Proton car…
December 23, 2005 @ 12:16 am
i guess we should sometimes try to control our words..if not..our friend stop this blog…mampus…
car stuck in mud is nth big..use a merc and c..c can stuck or not??any car will stuck la..nth to do with its quality..and from wat i c..ppl normally complain bout the quality of the car in terms of assemble and finishing…not much complain bout performance..so..i guess proton is pretty good car,besides its power windows and cheap plastic..

December 25, 2005 @ 11:51 pm
Glee, you have a problem with my comment?
I said, “Looks like a face lifted Satria” I didn’t make any more comments. Do you have a problem with my comment?
When I am expecting a SRM or Satria Replacement Model, I expect a Satria “Replacement Model”, you may not understand the concept of “Replacement”.
When WRM (Wira Replacement Model) came out, it was Gen2. You know, “Wira” vs “Gen2″, or do you need someone else to explain to you why these projects are called “Replacement Models”?
So tell me, do I have a legitimate comment when I said it merely looks like a face lifted Satria? Do you understand the concept or meaning of my comment?
So, do you have a problem with my “Stil look like a face lifted satria to me. Probably with Gen 2 face.”? Was I being unconstructive or was I being “Critical”? And puhhhhlease do me a favor and check the actual meaning of “Critical” in a dictionary before you fire back at me. It’s spelt C-R-I-T-I-C-A-L.
Merry Christmas and happy new year to all.
December 26, 2005 @ 1:35 am
quest,
u may have a point.. but the SRM may look like the old satria,
beacuse that how a 2 door hatchback would look. buy yoursefl december edition of autocar asean…n look at all the power hatches they comapred…all look the same body style…2 DOOR HATCH…….so think first bro…..
sedan, 2 door hatchback. MPV, n so many body styles have the same main theme…….just the styling diff…….my humble opnion ya…
December 27, 2005 @ 9:02 am
Yes same main theme… look at BMW, all their cars look the same, 3, 5, 7 series or Mecedes? The present E class look like the previous E class.. the coming S class looks like the last S class.
December 27, 2005 @ 6:00 pm
My point was… simply, it looks like a face lifted Satria. That’s all I’m saying, I’m not even criticising or anything. I made a comment about my observation based on what I see in the pictures. There’s nothing unconstructive about my comment. Remember my post was a reply to GLEE who made very negative remarks about my comment. Not you two (Man and Macspeed) AND…
I disagree when it comes to Beemer. I can absolutely tell the difference between 3-5-7 series. And everytime they produce a new generation of Beemers, they change the whole concept. They create a whole new look.
The SRM should not look like a face-lifted Satria. It’s a “Replacement” model. While the SRM have simillar characteristic of a 2 door hatchback, which applies to most 2 door hatchback, it should not have that look that at 1 glance, you decide it’s a face lifted Satria. It should have that “Wow” factor, this SRM picture however, look like a slightly face lifted Satria. You can change the color, the grills, the rims, and interior, if it’s just a Satria with all those changes…then it makes no difference.
The 2 door hatchback market is extremely small to begin with, it actually makes no sense for Proton to invest in moulding for new chasis, new body parts, new interior parts, not unless it can be extremely sellable like Myvvi. So, If I’m not wrong, I think it’ll be on the same platform of Satria, just cosmetic changes.
If they can offer the “actual” CAMPRO engine that’s reliable, maybe it’ll sell. If otherwise like current Satria specs, I can imagine how many more SRM bashers this blogsite will create.
December 27, 2005 @ 10:51 pm
how long they need to test test and test the car, proton claim it will be launch after 6 months when the gen2 launched, until now it almost 2 years delay…I dont think their SRM design will not cope up the latest design among the global car manufacturer already when they will launch on 06 as they claimed, it will look like a old design of car already, slower step than others…
If they launced on july 03 as the 1st plan, 06 or 07 should be the facelift time for SRM already…so thats nth proud on the SRM design…
December 27, 2005 @ 11:33 pm
Quest..if i am not mistaken..this srm platform is based on the gen2 platform..correct me if i am wrong
December 28, 2005 @ 7:54 am
Dear all friends…. Dont be so much kutuk.. u must test it first… The car tested by JPJ to get approval.. and the result from technical dept of JPJ… ITS SUPERB… even with 1.3 power unit.. and much better with 1.6 power unit… ITS DIFFERENT with any proton model.. so for young people… its your choice…! Paul.. you must get someone to tell bout the test drive…
December 28, 2005 @ 11:04 am
if this model is indeed a success later, i think what they need to do next is come up with an suv or mpv model or something… sure skyrocket again meh!!
December 28, 2005 @ 11:19 am
Don’t forget ordinary people like me who likes no frills car/SRM with 13 inch steel rims, 1.3 SOHC aspirated engine. Probably SRM could have a range of engines like 1.3 SOHC, 1.3 DOCH, 1.6 SOHC, 1.6 DOHC and 1.8 DOHC.
December 28, 2005 @ 3:24 pm
i’ll bet tat this srm model will be a successful model..the launch was delayed so many times..and u know y??i guess tat proton found some fault in it and rectify it..and besides that, no pressure for them to launch early, unlike savvy, where it competes with Myvi(though both are in different catogories)..next, proton should focus on perdana replacement model and waja replacement model..or as said by ajip, produce a suv or mpv or juara replacement model…hahhahah
December 28, 2005 @ 4:47 pm
I’ll just wait for the srm to be launched.then we’ll see whether it is worth it or not.If P1 fix the quality problem,offer wider option range (engine etc) and most importantly,at an affordable price between 50k-60k,then i think it is worth it.I hope they will have a gti model like the satria gti with maybe a 2 liter engine.If possible turbocharged.Thats the car i want.
December 28, 2005 @ 6:01 pm

Everyone’ll rejoice once Jeremy smashes this car up. Poor SRM. It’s actually a really nice car…

What’s with this Proton bashing, I have my own thoughts on Proton, but c’mon bashing a car even before its is launched is a bit too much. Comments about build quality about it being a faclifted satria under all the camouflage, geez man ………… u guys psychic or what

I found this and like to share the info.
“for instant , yeah … i can say that it is more towards a gen2 design, and the interior also the same … when you look at it , you will see the gen2 blood .
so far , the quality wise … improved very much . for instant , lets talk about the interior clour. i am not sure which colour they are goign to use , but for instant , the colour is either black or beige , where the beige is not usual beige , more towards the orange-ish colour beige . the colour seems to be weird , and radical , either love it or hate it .
for the interior , there are silver strips over the interior , over the dashboard , over the door panel , which gives some sight of sportyness .
about the steering wheel , it is exactly the same with the gen2 , stupid plasticy steering that doesn’t really feel nice at all . they should have been using the waja steering which is more grippy and the design is much more better .
for the dashboard material , over all. i can say , it is a step to the front . the dashboard does feel better than the gen2 , it feels more chunky and classy . the feeling is not like the gen2 plasticky , it is more rubber-ish . just like the gen2 highline model’s steering airbag cover , more rubberish .
about the seat , it does feel better . softer and … more grip than the gen2 .
i think most of us mention about the savvy glove box is much better tfora proton right ? yeah … this time , it is much more better . the glove box comes with ‘motion’ feel , erm .. i don’t know how to descibe this , when you open the glove box , it does open and it will open up slowly … just like what you expected in a toyota camry , it opens up like … freeze motion … slowly . such type of mechanism flows into the rear hatch boot , it is like the glove box , when you open it … it lift up slowly , then slowly … i must say that such features are hardly be seen on a proton , that is why i am so impressed about it .
now extend into the rear wiper , it is not like kancil or a savvy type . it is actually using somekind of … if ppl here drives bmw they will know . the wiper is just one piece , and the wiper is one type of long type . something that is not so logic for proton too .
erm …
nothing i can say .
oh yeah , at the same time , i am not sure there is any 1.3 model coming out . but they actually benchmark the current SRM24 1.6 model against the Satria GT-i 1.8 as comparision , and for the same time , the SRM24 GT-i model is coming out soon after the SRM24 launch .

Actually, You don’t need to be a psychic, you need track record. When your track record is so bad, you can come up with an average quality (not bad quality) people will still condemn. What they need is a quantum leap in quality AND design to silence critiques. As it stands now, admittedly, I’m not one bit impressed.
Sides, I don’t think there’s a market big enuf in 2door hatchback to justify coming out with such a model.

[...] Let’s hope 2006 will bring us more exciting developments. I’m sure everyone is eagerly awaiting the new Proton Satria Replacement Model. Sightings of a K-car being test driven which might be a Perodua have also been spotted, though these are all just speculations. [...]

well its a nice car, congratulation to the ppl who was involve in its development. happy driving my dear!

Hey Quest. UK got a big hatchback market. Fiestas on turbocharged Cossies are all over the place. Peeps got to know that there is such a thing as Power to Weight ratios.
I have been waiting for a new 2 door hatch. Manual of course. Am willing to dump my Waja for this….but I need details..been waiting for such a long time. Looks like I need to wait for a bodykit too. I just hope it does not (in totality) suck. I mean we kind of expect it to suck. But not suck in a big way.

Everybody has their own opinions. I think the SRM gonna impress me. Hopefully.
I used to bash Proton too, back in the old first generation Iswaras, Wiras, and Perdana days. Now it’s different, since Proton made the Campro engine, i started to like them. Despite its problems, its a damn brave and daring move for only a 20-year-old car company, to make such an engine from scratch. i don’t mind if the SRM comes in a 1.3 Campro engine, coz the 1.3 Campro is powerful enough. For your info, it generates 95hp. More powerful than Honda’s 1.5 i-DSi (88hp) found on the New City. I’m beginnig to like Proton more and more.

June 3, 2006 @ 3:20 pm
I’ve heard through the grapevines that the new Satria Replacement Model will be called the Proton Satria Neo. If that’s true, good job Proton on keeping the Satria name.
