In a release by Proton Cars Australia, Proton says the new Satria Replacement Model three-door hatch will be released in Australia together with the Proton Savvy during the first few months of 2006.
At least now we know the SRM is coming in 2006.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments on the SRM in Australia suggest anticipation for its launch, with some hope it will feature safety options like airbags and Lotus handling. There is discussion about Proton’s strategy to release cars abroad first, possibly to boost reputation, though concerns about pricing, quality, and local support remain. Many express pride in Proton's legacy but also frustration with past quality issues and high prices in Malaysia. Overall, excitement mixed with skepticism about Proton’s improvements and market approach.
