The day is finally here, as Proton will be launching its first B-segment hatchback later this morning. We’ve built up to this day with a slew of spyshots, teasers, official details and even a scoop of Proton chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad himself driving the Iriz/PCC undisguised in KL. The wait will be over very soon.
