A good, quality car no need a great ads because the brand sell by itself. Eg. Toyota, BMW, Volvo etc.

Proton with such a dated design just like an old spinster lady, try desperately to find a husband (Mr.Pak Sanggup).

Nice picture. But aren’t these pictures suppose to buy the buyers hard with it’s unique design?
Good job proton, keep it up and strike for the Quality goal.

I have only seen Ad 2 and 3 in The Star newspaper. I think the family tree and the ‘bird’ ads are inspiring. Now i feel like pampering my car a bit because it is also part of my life. Hehe.
Thank you Proton.

wow… I’m quoted here… (thanks torque)

what Proton did was ingenius… potraying an image for itself through advertisments to win the heart of it’s customer. and inserting some humor to it too.. (love the stork ad).

but… don’t just win awards for advertisment.. win some awards for innovation, design, sales and engineering. maybe then, you can be a bit proud and we will be more proud of you..

I love driving the Persona.

The only one thing I would like to see from Persona (and the rest of Protons new badge of cars) would be the independent crash test results such as from Euro NCAP.

Hopefully Proton could put some for testing.

To put a concept drawing in an ad is kinda cool, and I think that’s the major intention of the ad designer, the cool factor. Human has a tendency to know the progress/evolution of anything, how things are made. The graphic designer just exploited this behavior of human to made a good ad, that’s all.

Maybe the concept drawings are not specifically for Persona, but just a burst of ideas for any new Proton cars. The ad designer then saw it and decide to cook up something.

Also i just mention the design problem, i didn’t said it was ugly. The lower rear end would probably much better to position a spoiler than Gen2, did ? made myself clear? Btw, thanks for ya advice torque.

You’re saying it’s beauty than city and lation is okay. many can accept..

but dont you ever dare say it beauty than Vios. The Japs Wannabe will said the dugong vios one is the beautiful car in the world.. hehehe.

To torque, your comment above i regard as very fair enough. Beauty or no beauty is up to individual. For me the persona design is more beautiful than current city and latio.

Just my 2 cents also.

LHQ,

Take it easy bro! I know that you stated, “I don’t want to sound like bashing here but…” and you do give a point where you said, “so keep it up doing whatever to increase the product quality…”. I don’t think you are a basher just b’coz you wanna give your own opinion. There may some that agree and some don’t…just let it go! You should read Kingbrutal comments where he point out that sometimes someone have to agree to a disagreement, that’s the whole point of an argument. Beside Paultan.org is all about RAVES and RANTS, right? Raves does mean “speak wildly and incoherently” and Rants mean “speak in loud exaggerated manner”. I think that’s the whole point…

Just my two cents…take care bro! Peace.

Ok,ok i give up, I’m the fool ok?
I failed to see the beauty lies within the lines of Proton’s design and that’s my fault.
In my opinion, Persona=squashed rear Gen2, so if you guys think that lowering a car’s end need a whole new series of complicated calculations in the process then i admit it’s my fault again. Nuff said.

LHQ.. if u think the design of new saga is fool, and u think that persona no need to make conceptual design fisrt? Well try ur self to design at your own first laa… then we can hear which one is fool. To built shoe also need to re-draw back the concept and apply it into real one.

You fool…

I agreed with yippi33, out of all sedans that shared platform with hatchback, saga is the best design compared to city, new vios, latio sedan & sx4 that just look really weird.

By: yippi33

yippi33 — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 05:16:05 +0000

LHQ,

its not weird to have a concept drawing even for a persona..every car needs to have a concept drawing first before construction..its not an easy process you know..

no..i didnt get what you mean..i think that saga’s design is much more better in its class(compared to city or vios)..same goes to persona & gen2..but in the end, it depends on ones personal opinion..

im waiting for JULIANLEE’s comment… lol

By: ilmondo

ilmondo — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 05:15:37 +0000

yes.. its a very nice campaign.. anyway.. i feel that it suits the harmonious looking persona..

well.. a lil off topic.. but i dun c any problem with gen2 and persona.. many ppl c tat they are actually d same design.. and there is nothing new with the designs.. cant we look at it as wira sedan and wira aeroback? saga with stupid design? haha.. its suppose to be built to a cost..

proton is making good progress. keep it up!

The 5th picture looks funny to me, yet meaningful. Congratz to P1 btw, but it’s the quality of the products that we would want to hear.
