Malaysian Makes

Hi, i am a newbie here. Just sign in bcoz wanna share with u guys pics which i believe may provide us ideas and clues for the upcoming proton mpv. These 2 pics were taken about 2 years ago when i visited the proton's booth somewhere in klang valley during the launch of proton savvy tat time.

In these pics, we can see clearly the clay model which is actually 1 sided model attached to the mirror that reflect the other side of it. The model i think more like a proton hatch back version aka myvi killer than a mpv itself. Nonetheless, i hope it offers some useful exterior design clues for us to imagine how the mpv will looks like. Notes the front profile which i think looks good actly, but too tiger-ish and seems a bit odd after all...- a little re-design please..and the rear of it may let us think of the lotus cars' rear which may be a direct copy form the sportscar. however, what i like the most is the side curves on the car's body which i never seen in any other mpv b4...radical and retro-my regards for this model.





And now, what do you think of it?

wow..the 1st thing that came and make me  is the side profiles..love it or hate it..i abselutely love it. So unique but as for the front and back.. not feelin' it.

Maybe this is just a design exercise? who knows.. But hope it  will be another great "stuff" from'em.

Proton will launch a number of new models within the next 18 months, two of which will be significant. The company will also have a MPV model before long (right picture shows a concept model displayed two years ago).

xtra for this thread 

why didnt i get these pic before i render my MPV impression...haiyah...
to my sense,the production version will have a tone down version of this clay model.i wont hv those radical curve on the side. I think they will re-design the front fascia(i very hope so), because on this clay model,it looks like a rat(complete with eyes nose and 2 protruding teeth). if look like tiger still ok ma

yeah u r right, it looks like a rat. tiger? u mean more aggresive fascia? yeah...i think that will suit the mpv since its a huge class vehicle...

yah i mean fierce.or maybe more classy.but pls DO NOT do something like the new waja campro grille.that's is not classy at all,looking cheap instead.

i did a search a few months back and the ZAP-X electric car which is based on the APX might be "months" away..
here's the design rendering, i gotta say, its cool.. 


I forgot whether i posted news about this in this forum. hehe

this news also been posted in paultan's blog...it was long ago.and this mean that the proton mpv wont be hving major cues from the apx,since there is already another company using the concept APX as their production car.

my 2 cents

got this from other forum

Toyota Wish with Proton Stering Wheel?
Hehe.. I guess the rumours are correct.. Proton bought 3 Toyota Wish and fit them with Perdana V6 engine, CAMPRO 1.6 Engine, and CAMPRO 1.6 Supercharged Engine..
I hope they will use the CAMPRO 1.6 Supercharged Engine...

wah this is the 1st time we see Proton mule car...using other Make skin...
wonder what in side the bonnet...

wat i said last time is true becoz my freind work in the pronton r n d. about mitsu lancer convert a new bodykit and will be a perdana replacment model is also true but top management of proton dont wan sell the car becoz of some pnc issue.

so i hope p1 can make a mpv something like wish
