if the name already selected means they already mail to u… if not… no more hope… anyway i choose grand selesa and c2 (cheap & comfortable) as the name…
PT,
any news regarding this mpv price tag??? i heard rumors it around RM70k – 75k. Guys.. any1 here know bout it… thanxs guys for ur information… the choice is ur’s…
What we know is it would not be named based on flora or fauna… it is written in the regulation of competition… so probably Proton Juara…just for nostalgic purposes…
WHY still no reduction on petrol now???The oil price is falling.
RAKYAT are waiting, shahrir and also there are 2 by-election coming.
SO drop at least 15sen :p
The name of P1 new baby will be revealed next week. I wonder what kind of name it would be from thousands of Malaysian that entered the contest. May be Si-Fu can give some hint like… the first letter of this new MPV (Proton ………)
May God fullfil my dream.
CFA28.. if I’m not mistaken 125hp. Correct me if I’m wrong

-i loved to named it -[grandPRESTIGEO]-..ehehe..since it looks so prestigious..
Only now I realised. Should have submitted Proton 247 (twenty-four-seven). Because it has been 24 year, and this is a 7 seater, or the 7th proton to be made which is not a rebadge.
Fuh, why so many stupid commentors here? Please make yourself high.
If u already submitted the contest, just drop the proposed name, so all of us can know the quality of the name, at least..
I heard it will be Proton SUASA, and they already choose the winner. I bet the winner already informed since that person should be in the launching ceremony to receive the mock key.
What would be the MPV price target at?
I hope the name I nominated will be selected
Any hint whats the name will be?
70k b-line,75k m-line

Proton Estima?

I submit Proton Traveler
I will be the winner
I think PI will name this MPV….. Proton NiAkuYangPunyer…hehehe
Btw, considering neo cps price 60k, waja cps 65k, so this MPV shall be priced in a range of 64-72k.
Even BMW couldn't use the Traveler name for its Mini Clubman, hehe.
ermm dis mpv using 1.6 campro cps engine..and price below 80k maybe 75.800 for hline..hline version add on spoiler and lotsa new gadget like bmw using rite now..sumting like auto detect wiper,illuminated meter,key less entry,lotsa new gadget u will find in dis new mpv…5 colour option..solid white,tranquility black,genetic silver and other 2 new colours sky blue and copper brown…
-i loved to named it -[grandPRESTIGEO]-..ehehe..since it looks so prestigious..
Based on the way they name their latest cars, I think they wont name it in Malay word.
If the price is really 60k-70k+ it will face direct competition with Avanza and G.Livina.
I hope one of the name I nominated will be selected :} ahak!
Kalau ada rezeki..
PROTON IRIS…
PROTON ENIGMA…
PROTON IDAMAN…
PROTON PRIMA..

Cannot, bak kut teh not halal….
Only now I realised. Should have submitted Proton 247 (twenty-four-seven). Because it has been 24 year, and this is a 7 seater, or the 7th proton to be made which is not a rebadge.

siapa menang mpv tu,bertuahnya
:)
hey,
they still doing test run on this MPV.
saw the heavily taped MPV doing its rounds
@ putra heights at abt 11.30 this morning.
now i wonder,
is tomorrow p1 will announce the winner or there will be a ceremony to announce the name and celebrate the winner..
if they will just announce the winner name tomorrow, then all of you still have a chance. haha..
I've also submitted a name for this MPV.
Mine is Proton Vistana. A combination of words 'vista' and 'istana'.
Not sure whether these words is in Malay or English.
-vista: distant view from a particular, often high place (this is an MPV,so it shows a far-sighted view in Proton)
-istana: residence of royalties or head of state (very related with comfort, the main feature in an MPV)
Therefore, this name relates much to the MPV by Proton. Hopefully this name will be chosen.
The meanings is gotten from the website of DBP:
http://sbmb.dbp.gov.my/knb/cariankata/dbp_ka_ruju…
Paul, any idea what happened to the Proton APX?
I remembered it was a very interesting design.
I guess it would do well in our market.
heard it is really Proton Gemilang…
Imagine all the europeans tongue tied trying to pronounce the name
GeeMyLang huhuhuhu
BTW the name already used by NAZA for one of its scooter…
Anyway congrats to the winner
haha.. Proton Gemilang?
What's next?
Proton Cemerlang? Proton Terbilang?
I'm sure they would pick a name that Jeremy Clarkson finds amusing to pronounce and listen. ^^;
Some of my entries is Proton Villa and Proton Pena. Is it any good? O_0
For the winner of the contest, congratulation.
Grand prize, new P1 MPV
1st runner up and 2nd runner, tickets to visit Lotus at Norwich England if I'm not mistaken.
Hope P1 can organise more naming contest… or they can pick from thousands of names that being posted by Malaysian regarding this naming contest.
aiyoo really ke the name of the mpv is proton gemilang?
i think the name that i nominated is better..Proton MaxQ.
Maximum Quality, Maximum Quantity. don't u all thinks its a cool name huh? :D
reply 2 please close shop
it definately wont be better than livina stream or wish
if price more than 70k then is not worth buying. u can rather consider awanza or livina.reason is simple COS IT BETTER QUALITY n RELIABLE
