Just like how the Arena did really well in Australia as the Jumbuck. And when it comes to name, it's just like how Toyota Vios is "Yaris Sedan" or "Belta" in other countries. Even the Waja was called Impian in UK... Previous differently-named Protons: Satria = Compact Putra = M21/Coupe Wira = Persona Personally I feel this is a good move for Proton, they're getting more mature with the car business :) Lol @ ALPINABMW with his useless comments as usual
