the design looks great, but it could look better with a longer wheelbase, and not let the rear end hang like that.
otherwise, it looks like a very solid car.
i even dig the peugeot grille resemblance!

The design is very nice i like it, but very unoriginal.
What’s with this big grille thing? Nearly every new car concept model looks similar now, no matter what the manufacturer is.

Mental block perhaps? Come on car designers. Show me more creativity!

Why must all superb-looking cars like this be CONCEPT cars? Why are all cars in real life cannot look hi-tech and futuristic like the concept cars?

The proportion of the angle and design just about the same with clarkson’s toyota baboon car in ‘the good the bad and the ugly’

There’s absolutely nothing wrong in having an Aston Martin as a role model. Clean lines is soooo sexy. And you can hardly see the B pillar. Just don’t tell me its a Volvo engine. Call it something lustful like Supertec or somethng. Bring back the Cosworth!

the thing i felt weird is the rear end of the car looks identically to vios before facelift

Did anyone realise that the side profile seems very much inspired by the Mazda Lantis? One of my favourite cars! =D

The rear lights look a bit strange, and overall the rear is very similar to the old Vios. Not that it’s a bad thing, the old Vios rear is quite good looking. The front reminds me very much of the Fiat Bravo, but that in turn was inspired by Aston Martin anyway.

Unfortunately this is how most new cars will end up looking.

The large grill is to camoflage the added “thickness” (or bonned height) of the front. This is so to satisfy new pedestrian crash standards dictating the need to have 4 inches of space between the engine cover and the bottom of the bonnet (don’t qoute me on this though, I might be wrong about the 4″ requirement)

The Pug 407 is the first of its kind to meet these new (pedestrian) crash standards.

Don’t know if you guys notice this, all new cars now took especially thicker in the front now, gone are the days of the extremly low hoodline of the EF Civic.

Subarus are the few that is bucking the trend, since by using a boxer motor, they have the clearance not to have to raise the hoodline.

Looks like a twin of Mazda2. The front grill looks like a exaggerated version of Aston Martin. LOL!!! I guess every market has its own fetishes. Seems that the Chinese does like big grills.

So, I think in a way Proton is quite right using the Gen.2 as the way to break into China’s car market since Gen.2 is essientially a notchback. Not that I think the people there will like it but hey, at least those Proton guy know how to think. At least…

Nice car tho…
