Im not sure what type of marketing stunt their trying to pull, but it seems as if their hoping people will place bookings for a car that hasnt even been released yet...nor has it even been released to the public eye.
But from the little that i know, the new proton is supposed to be a facelifted version of the Gen 2.
So im not sure what i saw that Friday morning...
Well, on my way to work along the NPE after the Sunway toll, i spotted a weird looking black car turning onto the NPE just before Sunway Pyramid. It wasnt until i got about 20m from the car when i realized it has a lot of masking stuck on to various parts of the outer shell....
The front lights were 80% covered but looked somewhat like a more muscular front profile of the Savvy..
The front bumper was also covered up and i couldnt get a good look at much of its styling but it did have the middle nose section ala Proton Waja, only much smaller.
Unfortunately, i didnt manage to get any pics of the front as i was driving and its not wise to turn backwards, take a photo and drive at the same time..
But i did however, get some good teaser shots of the rear and side which was mostly masked up as well...
here they are...
Picture from the back... The whole concept seems to be headed towards a waja replacement... A rather high profile rear end but with very old styling cues which have been seen before... Not so good from the rear view...
Here's a partial side view...Also ather waja-ish with slight rear wheel arches and thre was also a bit of arch at the front fender....
Well..im using a K700i which only has a 1.3 MP camera and im really dissapointed that the pictures suck....
Not sure what this proton is gona be called or wheher its a proton at all.... But i have to say, from the little that i've seen, it doesnt look too good....
Protons designers really need a facelift of their own if they ever hope to create cars which are on par with newer designs. Well, considering that their new team just created a "facelift" for the waja (revised front grill) which is horrendous to me and seems more like a "facedrop", i think theyve got a long way to go.
Dougie signing out.

looks like the latio =รพ abit la, from behind, havent seen the car up close and personal yet, so i dunno le...
It's not a Latio, Latio damn nice 1 (& damn expensive)
The only reason people would buy that car is if they put a SR20DETT engine inside, people will buy it and transplant it to another car.
This is the only reason I could thought of how people would actually really buy it :P
