As mentioned in our previous post, this blue car with trade plates was seen escorting two heavily disguised Proton Persona R prototypes on the highway. It’s a blue hatchback with a large chrome strip across its rear hatch, with pretty much no disguise.
It looks like a Vauxhall Astra to me, don’t you agree? Might be one of Proton’s benchmark vehicles – like any other car manufacturer they have cars from many other marques in their test facilities for observation/research purposes.
