I think Proton will now concentrate on developing the B-Segment, B+ Segment and MPV....Saga, Persona, Exora....the C-Segment like Inspira and Perdana, will be all OEM rebbadged.....they can't afford to develop cars for this segment as sales is not high for this segment....but still most likely the platform will be the same (Saga/Savvy chassis for B segment, Exora chassis for Persona and Exora), engine the same (Campro 1.6/1.3) with Turbo/CPS variations.
I wonder if Proton has any plans to develop a new engine...Campro is really getting long in the tooth.
Rumor has it that proton are already working on a new replacement engine. I think it's called the Phoenix project or something like that. I hope they learned their lessons from the Campro.

recycle mean new car new design new name...recycle
FL is like now
new saga is now 3 years so it's time for FL
2 more years....it will hit cycle
the other model that i didn't said still on sale but won't recycle
savvy is definitely already discontinued
You are right. Proton now follows a 5 year product life cycle with a face lift every 2.5 years.
I think it would be safe to assume that the Saga, Persona and Exora will follow this pattern.
Higher end models will probably be rebadged models, such as the Insipira. Niche models, such as the Satria, I have no idea.
