The Proton Prevé is set to be officially launched by the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, later tonight. We’ll be there to cover the event, and will be bringing you all the details about the car when it’s formally introduced, so do check back tonight.
We’ve already previewed the Prevé in both its 1.6 litre turbocharged CFE and normally-aspirated IAFM+ forms through a test drive session a couple of weeks ago, but you’ll finally get to know everything about the car tonight, from price to the entire features and kit to be found on it. Stay tuned for more!
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Orait Anthony, we’ll waiting for it..:-)
what a joke..trying to use a french word for a car and then spelling it in such way that it actually doesn’t mean anything, neither does this word exist whatsoever…haha, Proton goes global!!!
What is it with the French being so stuck up about their language? They always get angry when people speak to them in English (which many, many more people understand and use), and now this fella gets all excited about a name that has nothing to do with his little language.
FYI Cristophe, the name is not taken from privé. It is taken from the English word preve which means to prove. Preve (pronounced preev) doesn’t sound very appealing so they added the accent to the last e, so it becomes Prevé, which happens to mean foresee in Portuguese.
Are u sure it doesn mean anything? and u saying it doesn even exist… Dude.. go read previous post about this car and dun juz come and bash without any solid info!
got 2 things that make high maintenance:
1. Timing belt (RM500 above)
2. CVT gear oil (RM280 above)
Japanese & Korea cars didn’t use the no 1.
Hopefully proton will change/upgrade it to timing chain soon.
Fuck you asshole. Why u lie?
Some places showroom already have these car for display..
overall seem a lot of improvements compare to previous P1 models, but no offense, there is still a “distance” to achieve so call global car.
Somehow proton start somewhere.
give them some time
how long tome some more?
already 25 years of conning the rakyat.bloody mahathir took all the malaysian for jolly good ride and made many bumi rich,fuck you you still want more time to see proton improve….better name it proton pantat…
vincent tan, ananda krishnan, lim goh tong etc also benefited from their strong affiliation with mahathir, not just bumis. get your facts correct first before showing off your bloody stupidity in the name of racism. such a useless chap. pathetic.
As if Vincent Tan, Ananda force us to buy 7-Eleven, McD or Maxis by forcing tax of other imported goods. (in proton case, imported cars are taxed heavily to protect Proton).
Vios is sold at RM 45 – 50k in Taiwan, Thailand (we can’t get a Persona though)
Innova is sold at RM 60k in Bali~ (we can’t even get a Vios)
Don’t make yourself look stupid. Proton also got tax same like import here in malaysia. That info can be found on the MAA website.
I don’t want to subscribe to astro when people in other countries can get satellite tv for free using their own dish.
Hadjihalef
You really looked stupid !
I know Vellu samy, ManiamSubra, Singh Jaspal, Krishnan Anand, a host of other cronies have made their pot of gold. I think you can Fcuk them first. Long live Hinderough.
yeahh..agree with u…lots of bumis have become rich and gizilion more non bumis have become richer…go f**k urself or get a proton car as it has pantat…no ladies would want to mate with u poor, racist who only knows to bash without facts..
well said Anjez! agreed with u!
Jeff dont be so called A**Hole!no need to cover up more!damn fool!
anjez = anjing??
quit with your analysis already..it’s freaking boring..they are improving and we know it ain’t merc or bmw level yet..
i expect the car improves the interior materials but i see some videos from forum, most of the parts are still very plasticky…will see the real car then.
vios,civic,city,forte, also are still very plasticky.. so what???
If Proton manage to break the barrier to enter the US market, then Proton can be called global car. Because the US simply has the tightest and highest standard and regulation of automobiles in the world.
that may be so, but they still makes shit.
want good cars? go European.
want good planes? go American.
I didn’t say about American cars. I’m talking about their standard and regulation of automobile. If Proton can reach the standard and sell their cars in the US, means Proton can sell anywhere in the world too, in terms of standard.
Even German and Italian automakers has to consider US regulation in designing their cars, for example US requires every car to have side indicator.
Can’t wait to see and test drive the car!
This is the final hope of Malaysian to be able to pay a ‘reasonable’ price for a superb car. Proton please don’t disappoint us!.
Proton Preve will be launch at seri kembangan 8.00 pm tonight.
Finally.. after all those pervert moments
Where in Seri Kembangan ? I can’t find the launch venues
I predict this car will be pronounced by Malaysian as “Pri Vy” rather than “Pra Veh”. :P
launch it and make me believe it!!! wohoe!!!!
hope with this success they can transfer it to the next gen Exora!
can’t wait to test drive this car tomorrow.
Turbocharged CPS? -.-
Caffeine helps in a big way with me, as you can tell. :D
dude, how long you were in comma?
Hoping that this PREVE model, doing / selling good.
Finally, after so many teaser,sneakpeak & spyshot.
What time is the launch?
9.30 at tv1
Time & Venue for the launching of Preve? What time would it be available in Proton Showroom nationwide
1st.. Excited to watch it at nite..
I wonder still ada orang yang suka post Yess!!! Im the !st!! kinda thing
its called “Syok sendiri”!
sorry guys, i missed this bugger, got caught up in the ‘excitement’.
will there a be a full review soon?
especially interested in the NVH properties for this preve’
Cant wait
What do you mean can’t wait? You had waited months, delay after delay already.
Ahh…finally, lets get it over with…
finally huhuhhu…
It should be turbocharged CFE…
Yes, it is. Hadn’t had my coffee yet … :D It’s okay, I just slapped myself awake.
Proton too slow to launch it.
Bought an used Japanese car instead :)
Hope this model could tapau Elantra,Forte,Vios and City.
of course la, 1.6=2.0
to bias compare NA 2.0. please compare apple to apple e.g. with 406 1.6 156hp, or 1.4 TSI VW …look P1 still behind.
compare apple with apple? 1.6 CFE turbo with a tsi engine? 1 is turbo, 1 more is turbo+supercharger. how on earth is that apple to apple? lol..
so you are the next Jeremy Clarkson?
yeah how can compare that apple with me
no lah, he compare wolfgang epple with wolfgang apple. haha. the heck, comparing price one heaven one earth
aiiyoooo why you no wait bro????
hope you enjoy the purchase anyway.
Come on PROTON, yeahhhh!!!
I hope the car is successful locally and globally, kita kena sokong. our only Malaysian brand
Launch the damn car now!!!
Please support this great car!!
As this car company is the reason why other in our country car prices are so high.
This car company is the reason why we need 9 years loan for our first car.
This car company is the reason why entry level japanese cars are considered luxury
This car company is the reason why we pay 30% to 220% over-inflated car prices
Cmon guys! lets buy Proton cars!
i think its not about car.. proton carries social responsibility also.. maybe u also benefit from it..
with all the pics in the net, don’t feel excited at all. but let’s just hope all the pics worth the reality.
bro, seeing picture of a beautiful girl and actually hug the girl will give you totally different feeeling.
you only see the pic of the car… go test drive then you’ll know.
Possible 2.0 little turbo in the near future? the car look nice for me in from the photos… I have bad experience from Waja
even peugeot and VW downsizing their engine to 1.4 and 1.6… so i don’t think proton would turn to the opposite direction
Why not? I do believe they should have at least 2.0 and then can be upgrade the output with the turbo in the future for efficiency.
I can see a trend here, praises mostly morning post and bashers comes a bit late, early evening perhaps. Why is that?
i’m waiting for the 1st basher to comment! :D
Coz “bashers” are most likely non-Proton Salesmen who got work to do in the office early in the morning. And they do not spend office time doing non-office things. Coz “Bashers” got to work hard for a living… the real majority of Malaysians.
While praises… may be Proton salesperson who is doing their job in the morning (which includes praises for every blog that showcases Proton products)….
Just my two cents.
two cents just doesn’t exist anymore in Malaysia. it get rounded down to 0 cent.
No la.. Coz all bashers gone to school.. probably waiting for school bus now.. Hv to finished their homework before granted permission by their parent to online..
cari point maa.. ^^
Another piece of lousy Protong metal to cheat Malaysians.
Looking at the initial preve interior photos taken at the showrooms, the quality is still doubtful.
Saw the Elantra at Sutera mall yesterday. The panel gaps on the dash are virtually non-existent.
Finally, the launch….hope it proves to the nation that it is a continental Car….Last swing for PROTON, give your best shot….dun let MALAYSIANS down again.!!!
yehh… 9pm serbu Proton Edar Jalan Ampang …..
i used to drive a 2008 Proton Gen2 CPS. I bought it for bout RM60K+. When i sold it, it’s bout RM35K, over 40% depreciation after only 4 years.
I hope Proton Preve will hold more have more resale value.
Proton car no value….nowaday,people prefer import car
yup, proton cars resale value varies depending on model. Waja could still hold 50% value after 5 years. Persona and Saga has better 2nd hand value. the worst is Tiara and Juara, and i hope the worst is over.
buying a car is never an investment… it will depreciate… is just that the depreciation is vary from model to model…
Paul Tan, you may wish to check with the web host and have them delegate extra bandwidth to this board before 2nite..
Because….. I can see it will be the ‘ultimate’ showdown between die hard Proton supporters and the rest of the audience who have been weaned on PROPER Japs, Koreans and Euro products since day 1.. :)
Korean and western car fans, standing by our weapons… LOL :) Irs going to be a long ‘battle’ tonight LOL :D
hahahahah..might be true. I had a chance to see Elantra at the curve on friday. looks good inside out. but my heart is still pounding hard for Preve. might not wins against elentra externally, but the performance and price might be better. AAAUUUMMMMMM……….can’t wait for the launching tonite..
went to the curve last weekend as well, totally agree with you azrigon bro!!
again, come on PROTON!!!
Well like said bro, you’re asking too much from Potong…. :) If they can do better they’ve done so already… and not to come up with this Forte look alike Preve and then proclaim that they’ve got a ‘global’ car…
The styling is already looking abit dated even b4 the launched… partly no thanks to the tall profile and tiny wheels.. yes 16″ is not exactly tiny, but with such slabsided profile, even 18″ will look small in the fenders… And I dont even want to talk about the rear end and that incoherent tailights design.
I’d say Proton should instead pride themselves for coming up with a product that the Japs and Europeans have done approx 10 yrs ago… with, unfortunately, the fit and finish that’s still Proton. :)
Putting 4G, GPS, auto everything doesnt mean anything if these gadgets keeps breaking down on you…
And I’ve yet to see any auto manufactuers out there that proudly claim that CVT box is the wave of the future and that their ‘hottest’ cars will use CVT boxes as their SOLE gearbox choice…
Apparently, Honda will be using CVT for future cars. LOL.
In case you’re not aware, Honda and most Japs manufacturers do use CVT boxes… but IN JAPAN only, and they’re JDM cars.
When the models are being modified for export market duties, the CVT box will be the 1st one to go… cos Honda knows CVT can’t take the heavy duty use nor the possible lack of TLC in overseas markets.
Eg, for the Honda Freed, it has a CVT box in JDM, but when the cars are modified for export duties (and built in Indonesia), a conventional 5AT is used. That applies to the Jazz and Or Dai See too.
You mean the engineers are that free to do all these?
dude… my honda city vtec 1.5 bought in 2005 – sold 2009 got CVT (7speed) already…
the CVT was pulled out from the next current gen of city bcoz msia marker specially in online forums keep on complaining CVT is expensive to maintain/repair/replace..
i also had the whole CVT replaced on 2nd year of owning the car.. lucky it was still under warranty..
however, current JDM honda city (fit aria) is using CVT..
and japanese only use the best for their JDM..
boleh tgok siaran langsung kt tv1 ari ni…
finally……
hopefully it wont disappoint and will be a premium product with a reasonable price
Good luck to PROTON and PREVE. make us proud
is a gd car
is a gd car, book one :0
Went to Proton dealer to see the Preve yesterday…
from my short observation… It is a handsome good looking car. Clean design. I like :)…
rear passenger space is awesome and getting in and out is easy. Despite claiming its wider than Waja, I feel that the driver’s cockpit area is not as spacious, eventhough driving position is better than Waja. Material on the side panel where you land your hand is plasticky and rough.. The panel above the front speaker is damn soft you can easily push it in with a mere tap of your knee… Hehehe… And why laa u don’t put metal door scuff plates?? This is not entry level model… If you can put it at Waja more than 10 years back, why not this Preve? It should my iluminated somemore with Preve’s name engraved… Haishhh… :(
However, despite much improvement of the interior’s desing and ergonomics, the Proton’s lack of quality bits and pieces, attention to details and the usual gaps are still prevalent and not up the mark , dissappointing a bit on that area :( … Need to work more on these Proton… what ppl touch and see inside the car is extremely important ton invoke the sense of premiumness and perceived overall quality of the car.. After all we ride inside the car not outside!
Bootspace spacious but still using traditional swing arm which will restrict loading capacity, not hidraulic like Persona.. And needed to be pushed hard to close it down… Even Saga is easier on this part, not nice… Btw spare tyre is not full size, only emergency ones.
The ICE is nice, the sound is pretty good considering it only comes with 4 speakers if I’m not mistaken, the screen displaying GPS maps is bright with with crisp image in broad daylight. The LED is not DRL, but still can be turned on individually without turning on the main beam… But looks like is not bright enough thus not so useful in broad daylight like the one you we saw in Audi etc… So it is position lamp like the leaked spec sheet revealed earlier.
centre storage compatment underneat armrest a bit too small me think, can put only a few cd case , eventhough the glove box size is quite generous.
nonetheless, i think it is going to sell well…. CFE will be sold at RM72,xxx cheaper than indicative price of RM75K… Wonder when the SE version will be out hopefully with leather seats with real DRL
Exactly what i was thinking.
Exterior is ok except for the metal piece that shows when the side mirrors are folded and also the rough plastic on side of the side mirrors. The rest are no issues.
Interior is spacious and great. like you said the attention to detail are a smile stealer. The carpet trimmings, the whole edge of the door panels are not refined. the steering tilt handle looks filmsy and so are the boot and hood openers located on the bottom right from the front seat. very scary.
Its almost like everything was done in a hurry. although saga and persona uses alot of hard plastic but at least it trimmed better than this.
The interior kinda “potong stim” for me. I’ve been following the car’s development since last year. went to proton 1 show in bkt jalil and was excited to see Proton finally stepped up with a worthy car.
The weird things is, none of the first impression review i’ve read mentioned all this. Well, anyway will consider again after a month or so.
Wow!, this website is full of salesmen trying to prop up preve-tanic. This shit is bound to sink. No way malaysians will buy car built solely by syed mokhtar at rm70k. Akio Toyoda has trouble selling Toyotas at this range.
Try selling at 30k, maybe get few orders. People who buy will live to regret, as soon as the next birthday, when it drops 20k in resale value.
yes master..your prediction is well beyond imagination master.pffftttt~
Engineering is not like selling Nasi lemak.
You really need good R&D background to support,the back bone of top R&D usually from universities and Institute technology.
All car fans here, please tell me,which local universities are capable of producing this high level graduates.
With so much bias in policy making and chaotic racism in place leading to severe brain drain-i only see bangla and indon will join proton R&D Department…hence proton preve.
Cross all human history,there is not a single case where you can be well known and succeed with narrow minded vision and short-cut effort.NOT A CASE.
with our bolehland people running the show,either they are suffering from stg IV terminal stupidity syndrome or trying to keep wasting tax-payer money to create miracle where, high tech engineering work can be build without real talented and hard core workers working day and night.
Give a guess, for any young German or Japanese high school student to get in their reasonable local university, in order to fulfill their dream as automotive engineer, they need to compete with how many students and score how many distinctions?
During their college days how many papers they have to published and awards to be won before they can secure jobs in BMW,MERCS,TOYOTA or even Korean Hundyai?
These group of people were selected from best gradutes from the first world country-who really work damn hard,trust me,they act like vampire-never live to see SUN(work before sun rise,home long after sunset).
With our bolehland working mentality and engineering standard, we want to create ?world class car,shame on you man!
If a person can do the same job by:
1.no need good result to enter college.
2.no need wide reading,no extensive research works with articles published,with on/off mamak tea tarik,some psp or ps3,girl friend dating.
3.pass the degree course because you pray together with your boss under same roof and hence questions leaked and secured a honors…
4.working time with frequent makan,late come early go,friday long hour missing….
With all this unique,fantastic, unbelievable terms and conditions-god knows what products will come out from bolehland.
Folks, be realistic-facts are facts.
No success will tagged with effortless.
So, why proton!
regardless of wth you are talking about. Proton have churned out cars and it proved that we are capable of going world class. don’t underestimate our own countrymen dude. Do you even knew that Proton also produced parts for other world car makers?
Poor writing. .Shame on u.no point.
I strongly agree with Why Proton. PERIOD.
Graduated and worked in Germany, I came back with the intention to contribute to my beloved country. I really am surprised how most local graduates especially in engineering are very incompetant. Strong reasons why so are privatisation of universities and achieving target based more on quantity not quality. I am surprised of how lenient education local universities can be. In Malaysia there is no room for R&D. Too much Politics, too many accountants and law makers not to forget TOO MUCH banking taking advantage of low incomers – people are being lead around and around the bush. Too much talking and very minimal results. Sadly these people can get away easily. But like others who are experienced, worked hard and ACTUALLY concern, we keep paying premium for untoleratable quality.
Back to the main topic Proton has no room at all to make mistakes this time. People’s perception of Proton has been tarnished. Sadly even the local’s are complaining on an international level. I believe DSZ has worked hard to turn Proton around. This is our country’s image. I am excited for the launch. So please PREVE I am begging on my knees to prove to us. PERIOD!! I could not imagine you slacking off anymore.
I viewed and explored Preve in Ipoh showroom. I got the brochure as well. Surely an improvement from all Waja, Saga, Persona etc.
Yes plasticky but softer to touch. But same over at VW Polo. Also rather hard and plasticky.
Door closing real improvement. Not less quality than City & Vios.
With ABS, Brake Assist, EBD Electronic Brake Force Distribution ESC with traction control.4 Airbags, WHIPLASH, GPS, Push Start,DayLight, Rain Sensor, Auto Headlight, Follow Me home light, Anti Trap Power Window, Side Mirror with Auto Folding, Paddle Shifter, Auto Climate, Auto Cruise, Trunk Remote Release, Bluetooth!! These specs are even better than soon to be launched more expensive CKD Malaysia’s Camry 2012! Driving & handling shall be put aside cause different car segment. But price of Camry RM 180k. You decide!
Closest rival is Forte 1.6 (RM 79k) with fewer specs.
Vios TRD Sportivo 1.5 RM 92k vs Preve RM 72k = RM 20k savings for brand image & so called 2nd hand value!
4 speed vs 7 speed
1.5L vs 1.6L
106 hp vs 138hp
141Nm (4.2rpm) vs 205Nm (2-4 rpm)
Rear Torsion Beam vs Multilink with stabiliser bar. Do read up all abour cars – torsion beam lower cost & not so good for ride & handling.
185/60R15 vs 205/55R16
Vios without the following:
ESC with traction control, 2 vs 4 Airbags, GPS, Push Start, DayLight, Rain Sensor, Auto Headlight, Follow Me home light, Paddle Shifter, Auto Climate, Auto Cruise, Trunk Remote Release, Bluetooth!!
Exora as discussion – cause same turbo engine CFE.
Based on Singapore custom’s import value of Exora, Exora’s Original Market Value is SGD 13k or RM 31k. Exora Selling Price RM 80k full specs. Preve should be cheaper cause sedan. Maybe export value less than RM 30k. Likely selling in UK at Sterling Pound 10k.
For this RM 72k full specs quite a good buy.
Which ipoh showroom can see the car?
DO NOT COMPARE WITH VIOS. IT IS DIFFERENT SEGMENT!
Car segment classification – Brian there are a few classification under Euro Ncap, US EPA etc. Under Euro car segment both Vios & Preve fall under Small Family Car.
Why can’t compare VIOS? Same C segment.
VIOS 1.5E spec in Singapore OMV (by Singapore customs) SGD 11k or RM 27k. If CKD from Thailand, after Excise & Sales Tax = RM 52k Mark Up RM 30k. Selling Price in Malaysia RM 82k. UMW makes RM 30k or 58% Mark Up.
Preve (Based on Exora OMV RM 31k) Let’s assume Preve same selling price for export RM 31k cause not MPV.
Cost RM 31k +
Excise Duty RM 31k x 75% x (1/2 discount for “Kereta Nasional” if still applicable) = RM 12k +
Sales Tax 10% x (RM 31k + 12k) = RM 4.3k
Total Cost = RM 47k Selling Price RM 72k = Profit RM 25k. Mark Up 53%.
Toyota Vios 1.5E is a base model. Drum rear brake and without ALL the above as compared with its highest Vios 1.5 TRD Sportivo.
Simply put Proton has more features & specs BUT NO NAMElah after so much quality issues etc. But Preve packs ALL in, so comparing to VIOS TRD Sportivo is quite right but cheaper by RM 20k + EXTRA features that you can’t find in Vios.
RM Sales Tax
some people so branded-minded that cant even accept fact comparison.
What a shame.
dia compare price range. OK what? tu yang kita concern bro… kalau duit banyak jgn tengok preve. pegi naza tengok ferrarri ke, lambo ke..
kan?
How about some reliability data instead of specs comparison, since the Preve was throughly tested?
The turbo enjin can tahan ah? The proton servis know how to fix ah? Any data from the Exora turbo enjin reliability, since same enjin?
Yawnnnn….
Bad experience with my waja. Lasted only 4 months. Finally bought a sentry which lasted 10 years till today
lousy car.. scrapped metal
Dear Anthony, we want no less than a hard test drive.. see what this car has to show..
Hard to achieve that tonight. :) But we’ve requested for a test mule, which we hope will be soon.
Please review with fair comment / judgement. If it is OK, then say it. If it is NO GOOD, then say it. Do not protect PROTON by writing ambiguous comments. Compare it within it’s class vs Japanese, Korean and Continental cars.
Hopefully can review all three cars at once :)
i think the inspira 2.0 manual if priced nicely…wd be a hit too!
Hahaha.. “GLOBAL CAR” launch in bolehland,..others global car now lepak at Beijing Motor show daaa…
Went to Proton dealer and car will be unveil tonight at 8pm at Melaka.
Test drive only tomorrow…
Got the brochure for the Premium version:
Penisular Malaysia:
Solid: RM72,540 with insurance
Metallic: RM72,990 with insurance
guys, already look at the car.. it is not very ‘pretty’ car but i’m very satisfied with the exterior..
Performance wise should be ok since got praise by many professional driver.. looking forward for the launch tonite
YESSSSSSSSSS MENJUAL JUGA IANYA AKHIRNYA INI PLODON PRIGAY
Bro,
we’ve seen ‘a carpet’ in menara maybank. Usually, when put a carpet in our office, new car will be launch next day. Probably, you can all check in menara maybank tomorrow. And normally, they’ll bring in the car late at night. Most probably after 8pm
finally the most anticipated car of year going to arrive.all the best to all the idiotic malaysian who continue to support MAHATHIR and his fucking PROTON.
Hey Anjez , just look out your window, an ambulance will be arriving soon to take you to Tanjung Rambutan for behaving in psychotic manner without any reason or provocation. Neighbours suspect that you may act stupid like taking paraquart and endangering yourself. They also mention that your mother always hang up your sponge mattress to dry as you normally wet your bed whenever a new Proton model is launched . We all wish you well Anjez , and please behave when you are in there ..
What the hell are you trying to prove Anjez? Trying to prove that you are one psycho person who can afford a much better car? If you dont like the car, fine. No need to provoke other people who actually interested with the car with your racist slurs.
Proton Prevé (P3-21A) akhirnya sudah tiba di beberapa bilik pameran Proton Edar, dimana pelancaran rasmi Proton Prevé akan dilaksanakan pada 16 April 2012 oleh Perdana Menteri, Dato’ Sri Haji Mohammad Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak. Proton Prevé bakal dijual dalam anggaran harga RM65,000 – RM75,000 bergantung pada spesifikasi model.
Prevé (disebut Prae-vae) adalah pinjaman perkataan Sepanyol yang bermaksud Proof / to Prove ( bukti/ untuk membuktikan). Proton ingin menyatakan mesej bahawa Proton Prevé ini adalah bukti hasil komitmen mereka dalam memartabatkan industri kereta nasional sepanjang 27 tahun dan menghasilkan produk bertaraf global.
Anda boleh tonton siaran langsung pelancaran Proton Prevé pada hari Isnin, 16 April ini di RTM TV1 jam 9.30 malam.
banyak gambar penuh preve dah keluar di internet..siap dgn harga lagi..kalu rajin cari, mmg dapat pnye
Hiii,…guys heard on the radio during lunch tht DSZ might not want to continue working with Proton when DRB take full control….!!!
DSZ has done a lot for Proton in gaining Malaysian into trusting and believing in Proton…………………………you work is not done yet Bro DSZ……. It is hope that the news is not true……
Agree absolutely. The plans are all there for the future of Proton. Bold and ambitious marketing for the next few years but now have to keep quiet due to new owners. What a waste….if it is really true that DSZ is leaving.
Titanic sank on April 15 1912.
Tonight April 16 2012, Proton Preve will start sinking
Global car should have global prices, not rigged, mafia, loan-shark price. Global 1.6litre cars only selling at around rm40k. Who are trying to con?
The prime minister should not attend this function and soil his hands.
well said! they trying to fool us! even KIA forte is selling at 75K aft add the so called stupid tax calculation, but why the hell proton cars can bo beyond 75K too?
for d sake of accuracy, kia forte starts at 78k. proton preve starts frm 62k and fetches up to 75k for the high-line. also, d low end forte lacks other perks featured in d high-line preve. look it up urself. GPS, paddle shifters, to list some. why don’t you just compare preve to P2’s myvi?
bodo.. cheapest preve is RM60k and most expensive now at RM75k. cheapest Forte is almost RM80k and have much lower performance / fewer spec than Preve RM75k.
Please consider the “original” price of Forte before being heavily taxed a’ight? If the after-taxed Forte’s price is still lower than the new Preve, then who is going to buy the RM75k local car? RM75k for a non taxed M’sian metal don’t you think it’s a little hefty, hey?
This MoFaz guy a hardcore idiot. He is regular here and he thinks everybody is as stupid as him. Ignore him, he’s just a salesman anyway.
kia forte or optima in england cost about 19,595.00 GBP or RM96,788.13 otr. dont listen to people. go to their websites and search for the truth.
why PM shouldn’t attent this function? He is the biggest con man…
Mamakthir also should not attend. He is the master of conman and cronyism. I support proton but not wid the mamak as adviser.
Are kidding me dude, how much golf tsi let say in uk! Why not you tell us?
good product will sell by itself… please wait and see

well, good luck for the 1st batch buyers, hope your preve will be functioning in one piece after 1 month. =)
lets see if the power windows ever improved…
Bro before you use the power window, did u actually read the user manual ??!! I read Saga user manual, it said that you only can control 1 window per time and try not to use 2 window at the same time if not the power window motor will spoil….. I not kidding about it.
Btw Perodua power window also gt problem what , now complain ?? Problem ??
mesti kau xpnah naik myvi kan?
myvi punya PW pun kantoi la…
apa daaa…
i bet you got that from mere hearsay right? i personally hv experience with p1 cars – iswara n blm. none of them got d infamous power window-gate. but im not saying p1 cars r all tht good, but to stereotype p1 cars is way too much for being ‘critical’.

Looks like er all proton haters never drove a proton b4? do u know proton has life time warranty 4 power windows. Check with proton. ooh i forgot. u don’t drive proton. u ride a bike. huhu
:) There’s a probability that he/she is driving a proton car… Some people just like to bash intelligently and immaturely, cause the reason ‘they just want to’
I have the privillege to witness the launching at MIECC tonite.. :-)
Proton always the best on PAPER… only….
Space, power, speed… all on paper only
Funny how it doesn’t hold its claimed durability and quality very long.
Patriotic to pay for some mismanagement of suppliers? I don’t think so.
Even the sales ppl in Proton centre don’t have keys to the test drive cars, but instead ask me “why you need to test drive? all ppl also just buy like that?”.
Bravo proton for the Preve. Prove yourself. Don’t just win on paper.
If the Preve CFE is that good with that price for a Turbo then all VW turbo cars can forget about selling in Malaysia.
Well all the interest is in the Turbo Campro engine.
All 1st batch buyers be the 1st “Guinea Pigs” for us later buyers.
Hebat Proton, Hebat Proton,
Hebat Proton, Hebat Proton,
I don’t seem to be able to find the TV ads in youtube.
i thot u hate proton so much, why bother with searching for the ads on youtube? i’ve seen u on almost every paultan’s post about proton, u with ur bashing comments. u could use ur time and energy to do more meaningful things in life rather than bashing needlessly. why waste your life dude?
I think the car is kinda overpriced after actually sitting in it. I urge ppl not to make any rash decisions of buying just yet. Interior pictures vary from the real thing. This is from “my” observation in the showroom.
Please sit in it, feel it and drive it. If you’re happy with the feel and ride then you can make your purchase.
I kinda agree wit u la.. Interior kinda not satisfying. Please check it out for yourselves.
I saw 2 of this car at Melaka Proton show room , but they covered it with “blanket” !!! The car at the showroom for days d ………
the best and most affordable car in Malaysia..
surely gonna be top seller..
its a Proton :)
Should support DSZ, under his leadership to bring Proton of Today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DSZ, you are the best. You should remain as MD of Proton. Thanks to you and those under your leadership.
too expensive for Malaysian……….
DSZ face like a late Steve Jobs right..
Mamakthir hints him to go…maybe he don feed mamak cronies enuff.
PREVE – Proton Ready Enough Very Efficient Car to sale – that is all about

Your remarks shows that how racist are you and it reflect on yourself and what kind of person you are. People from all over the world are laughing at you..
Really not a bad car from the looks of it. Would go for this rather than any Toyota (and I have driven a few Toyotas; last 2 generations of the Vios and the Camry and last 3 generations of the Altis). Toyota is just milking the cash cow now; take a look at the soon to be launched Camry, RM160 000 for a 4 speed auto in 2012?! dafuq’s this shyt?!! But I digress.
I’ve sat in it briefly at a showroom yesterday and I’m happy to report the driving position is quite all right. And if Proton’s past few cars are of any indication (Inspira, Persona, Saga), this car is going to be the leader in terms of R&H. I’ve driven the Inspira and I just love how the car rides like a continental car. Firm, pliant and really comfortable at the same time. NO Japanese car at this price bracket or maybe even a few brackets above can compare to the Inspira. It makes the car that it’s based on feels like its shocks are being welded together.
Now Proton please please round up your QA/QC people and make sure that they do their damnest. Don’t you bloody disappoint us all (again!!).
better buy Japan @ korean cars.. wait for Nissan Sunny Almera…! very save in term of service and petrol consumption
congrat to all preve buyer..your bad nightmare will come.
Hey all,
I admit i don’t have much info before bashing but here is one fact.
I tried to sell my 3 year old Persona Hi-Line. Bought it for a cool 56k.
After numerous problems and ignorant P1 service centre staffs i decided to sell the car off. Seriously, no second hand car dealer wants to give u a good price. i won’t call it coincident that each second hand car dealer said the same thing, “abang jangan la lain kali beli proton, harga ini macam jugak dapat” or something in the veins of that.
A friend sold a Honda after 3 years and the price depreciated very little. My point here is why don’t our own pride and joy give us back a better resale value? hmm.
I think proton make improvement about design at this time….support malaysian product
40 mins only speech speech speech…. Just launch the car already…
malaysian cars n korean got a very big similarities ..
they’re fckin good in plagiarism.
nuff said.
so the korean started copying malaysian cars now. damn…
i really don understand y proton change from 6 airbags to 4 airbags 4 malaysian market… if affordability is the question, i think its not an issue. people with 4k income start buying imported cars even tough just an entry level. come on la.. its not like 10 years ago.. people got more buying powers today.
what they want if a good car that comes with quality. even you sell them cheap, give longer warranties, people are fedup to go to SC many times.. (thanks to your SC that always make people come back like we dont have any other jobs to do).
now if people wanna buy proton they wait first for period of time say 2 years… visit forums.. see what the issues..
frankly, i like this cars… hope quality not like my 5 yrs old car.. trims ar suck! nget ngot here and there, crying headlamp…. bulp not last longer… poor qoality of seat’s fabric… goyang dangdut side mirror… but hey my power window are still working.. and your campro is really awesome!
Very good….so many negative comments about Preve.
One more thing, Mustapha Mohamad the MITI minister has hinted that imported cars will get cheaper in 2 months when he unveils the NAP……..so the Preve buyers, get ready to ” Pegang Bendera” .Your buying price will be the highest EVER. This car will be a lot worse than Inspira, Launch high, later give 10k discount because tak laku (for preve, maybe have to give 20k discount because lousy)
wow..nk tergelak dgr ah pek cakap ‘plevai ‘..wat malu ja..apa2 pn gua ttp bli kereta yg harga bwh 90k n 5 years warranty unlimited millage…forte!!!!!!!
forte the best!!!!!!!
very disappointing ….the test drive showed that despite being the top of the range, power was lacking and build quality was poor.
those having forte and other korean cars will cry in 4 years time when they look at their resale value…and can’t even dispose their cars as they still owe the bank….then let’s see if you forte owners can say the same as you are right now.
Having test driven the preve and inspira….i would only say this…proton did a poor job overall!
looks like will have to wait longer for a good car to come by!
