not only proton n perodua copycat other cars..sometimes international car also copycat others n change a bit on their models..such as Toyota Camry 2008 and 2009…they change the tail lamp n bodykit..n then the price is different…about Lotus,Proton already “buy” them to improve the quality n handling (of course)….Proton n Lotus already a tough partnership…Mitsubishi???…alaaa….Mitsubishi also take proton chassis n use the chassis on New Mitsubishi Lancer w/o Proton know it..

Proton still new in automotive development..give them chance to improve their quality n design…don’t give such a bash like a trash..ur bash is useless…plus,designing n improving the quality is not easy as ABC,123 or alif ba ta…they have expert engineer then new comers…ofcourse we want to see other talented Malaysian show their talent but how far they can go????….think about it…bashers are not engineers…

this is not called negative comment…comment is preciouse…if real changes are being changed!!! we as a good citizen of mlaysia …we must not telling lies..SPEAK OUT THE TRUTH!!!! Hurray…. Btw, alot of talented designer in malaysia…why protonand produa still no improving??? still always copycat this car and that car…what a shame… :”( i just wonder why malaysia cars always the same taste..change a little it then proudly promote to market said what what limited addition…..the problem still there…just like the cancer.. If malaysia dare to produce and manufatured everthing by itself, but not import the engine from mitsubishi neither the design from Lotus company..then i would saying that “Malaysia Truly Boleh” Already… Think abt it proton and produa… Be Creative & Innovative..

almost all commenter here are Malaysian…apa da…u all as the Malaysian n menumpang here,u need to give super duper support for our National car…not negative comments….diz is for proton to improve their quality…if u guys always give negative sights,how could proton want to improve tthe quality of theirs…for example,this facelift waja still look tough n macho…so,what??…if still wanna give negative comments n always compare to internattional cars,u juz go there n bermastautin di sana…coz Malaysia won’t keep viruses in their industries…especially car industry…chow!

First the rear lamp design – now the front grille design.

It just doesn’t blend in. Call me conservative but I still prefer the 1st generation Waja design – minus the “crop-circle” rear lamp design.

Interior wise, it is somewhat an improvement. Looks more neat with plenty of add-ons to play around.

At least with the integration of ABS and Bluetooth capabilities, it might still attract buyers.

Cheers!

Im not sure if the proton management is simply ignorance, this type of design CANOT SELL!!!, funny and ugly looking boxy looking machine, no matter how much they did the facelift, it will not attact many buyers…REDESIGN THE WHOLE BODY SHAPE!!!…get some award winning designer and come up with some family sporty shape..both ways the young and those families would loves it..obviously those who are involve in the deciding the shape has a poor taste..if you guys are still deaming, Dream onnn…u will never improve the sales…

The Proton logo look like Thundercat. Proton should make the logo simple like Perodua, Honda, Toyota and etc.

Yes, Proton should only use chrome for its logo. chrome!

hmmm 3 times the facelift….after i bought my waja campro last year…don’t get me wrong here, i like Malaysia made cars and support proton or whatever you guys called yourself but too much facelift less than a year and a half…that’s mean you guys are running out ideas for a new one. you guys might consider resign or get a new job and let others who have the ability and creativity take over not “political nowhere to go nonsence” take place…replace the old and bring in the new one.

Needles to eyes and bullet through my heart…

Proton did it again..was expecting some advancement but looks like its back to the “old days”..P1 is definately gonna lose out if it continues to go on like this..Forget abt the performance,quality of the car when thy cant even get the design right..Not appealing at all..

Passat wannabe. Can they just stuff the blinkers on the main cluster so that you can get a proper aftermarket spotlights on?

That’s me only gripe. Overall, I always knew its more Continental styled than Japanese. It was based on the Charisma but a whole lot better coz its not a fastback like Charisma was.

They actually did redo the whole leather thing didn’t they. Coz the original one was ugly and sagged like a beached whale after a year.

Looks ok when you have dark colors. Not so good on brighter ones. Wonder if they sorted out the dip in torque at mid range yet? Or the Variable Intake thingy?

hohoho… lucky I just bought the waja campro 2006 H.Line… everything are same, only the front cover and sport light are different. Somemore get the discount for RM3500. Minumum 5 years no need to change car, no hassle in 5 years because got warranty… hohoho… But one think good on this new car, you can modify it by taking out the logo and the chrome and just but a new chrome which similar to a net then it will look very much sporty or or you can also cover up the hole empty place so it will look like alfa romeo . Anyway I’m a designer, copy my idea if you want to buy this car because it look really OLD like 80’s century robotic car…

i think its time for proton to replace its existing waja with probably a brand new waja… no point facelifting it… the existing flaw is still there… hate the overall shape… very angular… no smooth curves…

unable to add comments on dis.. hmm.. was juz tryin 2 ask sum1 2 do photoshop chop on waja.. but said was duplicated..

By: ilmondo

ilmondo — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 07:59:04 +0000

hmm.. savvy new grille seems more favourable.. y not do a photoshop chop on it.. savvy grille on waja’s nose.. sharper headlamps.. foglights.. more stylish front bumper to suit restyle grille.. new rear lamp replacing d c*ck like rear lamp.. 1st gen rear lamp is find.. y not try peugeot + bmw + merc lamp?? hehe.. steering wheel looks cheap wit its aluminium like northern hemisphere.. side profile looks nicest n most consistent on a waja but i’m sure its getting boring throughout d yrs.. maybe a more daring side skirts or door handles.. i’m sure quite number of us miss theophilus chin’s (hope i spell it right) photoshop. hmm.. n other talents also.. maybe shuld share some photoshop chops ere also.. like http://www.carspyshots.net.

other car makers usually improve cars quality, drivability, safety, economy upon new facelifts.. versions.. hope proton pratice this too..

By: ilmondo

ilmondo — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 07:50:48 +0000

hmm.. since ppl are more favourable of new savvy design.. y not some1 do a photoshop chop on it.. savvy nose on waja’s.. wit chromed logo.. n better looking fog lamps.. more stylish front bumper 2 suit its grille.. more elegant steering wit chromed tiger.. juz like peugeot’s chromed lion.. get rid of d c*ck like rear lamps oso.. maybe shape remains but bmw+merc type?? hehe.. 1st gen waja used 2 hav small logo on d triangle piece on rear door.. i think it looks fine.. smaller gear knobs 4 auto n i think manual stick looks fine but a lil too thin.. steering wheel looks quite cheap wit d aluminium like thing on its ‘northern hemisphere’..

car makers always practice 2 improve safety on newer facelifts.. like citroen c5 tat was tested on euroncap. hope proton do so..

But if u compare with Toyota Belta, this Waja is much better……..

Belta ( which got the praised from most forumers ) is junkier overall…….

The chrome just look good at the images from the proton’s gallery, but in real life and with some color, it just looks cheap.
Perhaps its time for Proton to assign best designer either from the Japs or Italy. Or Proton can setup their design base on the europe like the Hyundai or other korean carmaker that intend to upgrade their car looks and give premium feeling about it.
Proton could also make a design car contest as this forum show that some forummer have other say or idea of what the car should look like. It can be serious contest as more creative idea generated from LKW,UiTM, UTM and other IPTA’s. I’m sure our young designer could come out with some interesting design.
As for paultan bloggers, the contest will measure the final outcome of what some people want this and that. Let see how many people know how to design car…heh!

While the renewed Savvy is a good effort, this facelifted-again Waja is going the way of the Nissan Cefiro or Sentra in Bolehland…
Time for a REAL model replacement Proton! A rebadged-VW or Peugeot perhaps? Like the over-used cliche, only time will tell…
