Rumours

huhu.. im excited to about this launching.. but i really feel that proton sure need a new head and rear lamp design for this car atleast.. or they are facelifting gen.2 1st? just give the gen.2 a more mazda wanabe+toyota celica look then it would be a superb car to be putted a 160hp campro stage 3!

maybe near raya we will see another model from proton? or we still ave to wait for BLM this january?

riderx, they juz facelifted from hatchbatch to sedan wit a sum of performance & cosmetic changes. i think proton should produce fresh neu model everytime they want to produce neu car. no need to facelifted anymore. enuff la wit saga, wira & gen.2...

heh, juz my 2 cent... 

riderx... i agree wif u...they should change the head n rear lamp to a diff design. then the whole car will look more different fr the hatchback. 

anyway..i heard the hatchback will be facelifted. so may b tat will set the car be more apart than the sedan.

yeah..i hope proton will ave more sporty+sleek design for the facelifting of the gen.2 (since the gen.2 sedan shall not be called a gen.2 sedan then we can just only call gen.2 sportback as gen.2 only lor..lol ..)

i think this is what happen to this car production (gen.2 sedan/pesona)..to my logical thinking la..

-1st, market demand for a good sedan is very demanding, they want roomy interior, good luggage space, good basic spec with safetly measure, good quality build material both exterior n interior and they are bored with myvi/viva or too sporty designed cars.

-2nd proton have no time to build-up new fully designed car, so they turn back to the idea of having the gen.2 as a sedan variant, so they come up with this 15 august launching. (because of market driven, proton seems to cut the time by making the gen.2 into a sedan variant.) correct me if i am wrong...

-3rd proton have already spend alot of money into BLM project, the market of basic sedan model with price of rm40k - rm30k is very demanding since the ppl still want to buy those saga/iswara nowadays. so they ave to focus more on this market 1st. come up with a basic sedan which is good in every aspect then it would be selling like hotcakes!

-proton mini mpv aka myvi killer, proton large mpv, proton sport car and proton suv are under RnD now and some already in `mule testing` these models shall be launched after 2008, with the good help of Lotus, EDAG and some other engineering and design company from oversea. proton shall do good if they noe what is right for them. the launching of this gen.2 sedan is just another way of sayying that proton is back on track with much2 better attitude and product.

hopefully, dreams come true, finally... 

riderx...this gen2 sedan has been planned for sum time now. i got to noe bout tis model by insider mid of last yr at the prototype stage. afaik, this was planned by TM but executed by the new CEO.

owh.. so this gen.2 sedan is still an idea of TM la? ermm lucky that syed come on board and take care of this project..

im really2  hopping for the 1st baby project from Syed him self which is the BLM, myvi killer and large mpv..


the current MD also changes the interior colour n material of the Neo, enhancement of the  current waja noseless and this gen.2 sedan... and he was working with perodua...

owh... 

from what i heard... the engineers showed TM both the sedan and hatch but TM asked them to throw the sedan away.

i think TM did trow away the sedan design, he was too sport performance driven kinda of design geek..lol

anyone ave the lastest scope or rumour about any of proton new models?

very true... he thought that everybody will like the sporty design, but in fact..we need practical car, more ergonomic yet stunning car

if proton goes well with this model and future ones then proton can be like TOYOTA and have a performance/luxury brand like LEXUS... but its too early to put high hopes for proton. let just hope them done well and can survive for another 10years atleast.. hehe

when proton can produce something equal to a SLR Mclaren then i shall salute proton as a world standard car maker!

["THAT"]
