There was an event called the GLC Open Day held over the weekend of 24-26 June at KL Convention Centre. It was a government effort to educate the public on the unique roles played by various GLCs, and participants included GLICs such as the EPF, Khazanah Nasional and PNB to GLCs like Malaysia Airlines, Axiata, Maybank and national car company Proton. The latter had various activities for visitors, including a car configurator.
This digital application gave visitors to Proton’s booth the chance to customize the physical appearance of selected models, and as you can see here, the upcoming Espire or Persona R mid-sized saloon was among the playthings. Visitors got to switch colours and background, add decals and view the car from all angles. We’re told that Proton had something similar at KLIMS 2010 as well, where they showed the Persona R for the first time as the Tuah concept.
Disguised mules of the Persona R have been spotted regularly on the road, but here’s a chance to view the car from all angles and in various colours never seen before. These visitor-modified images were posted up on Proton’s Facebook page earlier today. While some of the more creative renditions are laughable, the car looks quite neat to us. What do you think?
More “postcards” after the jump.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments on the Proton Espire (Persona R) renderings mostly praise the design for its progressiveness and modern look, with some comparing it favorably to Korean and European models. However, many critics find the design outdated, uninspired, or resembling other cars like Kia Forte, Mazda RX7, and Subaru Legacy, especially criticizing the rear lights and overall shape. There’s concern that the concept looks too similar to existing models and may become outdated by the time of release. Some comments emphasize the need for better interior quality, performance enhancements, and more daring, innovative design. Overall, there’s a mixture of appreciation for Proton’s effort and skepticism about its execution, with many urging Proton to improve aesthetics, technology integration, and quality to meet global standards.
