After so many months and rounds of spyshots and sightings, the much anticipated P3-22A Hatchback will finally be launched this Saturday, August 17. Of course, we now know that it will be called the Proton Suprima S, as showroom test drive units with stickers have been spotted on trailers.
As usual, we at paultan.org will deliver a comprehensive launch report with all the details you need to know plus a large gallery of hi-res live images in the usual news format, but we’re also trying out something different this time around.
We have arranged for a live streaming coverage of the launch that you can view on this website, in real time, which means that you will be virtually “there at the event” with a front row seat, while lazing on your couch with a coffee this Saturday morning!
As far as we know, there will be no other media outlet providing live coverage, not even the TV stations, so you, dear paultan.org reader, will have an exclusive view of the launch that only selected invited guests get. And of course, front row seat view, too!
Our live coverage is scheduled to start at about 10:15am Saturday morning, give or take. Once the car is unveiled, the main page will be updated with a full launch report with live gallery of the Suprima S.
So spread the word, make sure you come back from breakfast early on Saturday, or bring your laptop out. Otherwise the live streaming will work perfectly fine on your mobile phone or tablet device too, as long as the browser supports Youtube streaming. It’s a date, see you this Saturday morning!
