"It is known that the Tuah will have lots of nifty new features like a photochromatic glass roof that darkens automatically at varying degrees, reverse sensor with camera and adaptive headlights that turn in relation to the steering wheel."

ya, on the concept like tuah, it is possible, as it is only 1 unit,

but this is probably not called tuah, something else. so probably nothing like that, but if it does, i be damned.

u must be joking.. already everyone say the p321 back look very weird and you say it looks better than new camry?

that's why i ask you to ditch the elantra booking, cos this car will pawn it also.. 

That camry is pretty clever design.. Leave slot of rooms for a facelift... Just need to change the bonnet ..

anyway, after a while most of us will get use to it. but hope they really will do something about the back, cause i still cannot get use to it.

Front wise, ok, no issue, not the ugliest design by proton yet. but this back is not that bad, but it is like a half done job by 2 department who didnt know what each front and back philosophy.

at least it is better looking that Fiat multipla.

My design...haha... Honda City grill..

"Dengar cerita tarikh pelancaran model ini ditunda hingga ke hujung Mac, atas sebab-sebab yang tak dapat dielakkan. Nama model ini masih lagi menjadi tanda tanya, ada yang kata bermula dari huruf P & hujungnya bukan lagi berakhir dengan A, yang pasti kata sumber tu perkataan yang dijadikan nama model ini BUKAN perkataan Bahasa Malaysia/Inggeris… JOM KITA TEKA"

How can you compare 15 years ago technology to current one

Even if he really kenot tahan, takkan he say so meh.

I guess only he knows the real reason behind it. Europe has another carmaker that is more challenging to manage than proton in terms of QC??

P3-21A habis.. ppl are waiting new VW Saga now...

Proton delays launch of newest model
Business Times understands that the delay was due to issues related to components, design, readiness and cost. “There are last-minute design changes. The hot press forming parts are also still being produced using soft tools airfreighted in from Germany,” one of the sources said.

This has led to an insufficient number of completed units for mass distribution, besides after-sales concern. The model, which slots in between Proton Persona and Proton Inspira and is based on the Proton Tuah concept model, has been lined up for launch on March 17.

The sources said there were insufficient cars for distribution due to the production going at a snail’s pace. The production forecast for March, for example, had been scaled down to 600 units from the planned 2,621 units.

The cumulative cars produced in January and February were 337 units from the targeted 4,246 units, the sources added. The delay setback aside, Proton adviser Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, after having test-driven a P3-21A early last month, said the new car was superior to other Proton models.

“I can verify and assure Proton customers and Malaysians in general that this new model can match any of the Japanese or European cars,” Dr Mahathir said in a February 7 posting in his blog at chedet.cc.

“It was such a pleasure to drive. A foreign friend who knows all about cars tested the new model and said it was up to the standard of up-market cars from Europe.

“I believe that this is a great car and Proton can be proud of it. Malaysians can be proud of it, too. The extra ringgit you have to spend will be worth it,” he added.

manage to chat with 1 of proton engineer, name of p3-21a based on Portuguese word and probably launch on 25 march. 

P321A test drive.  We test drove the upcoming new C segment sedancodenamed P321A, which will replace the Proton Persona, last Friday. The newmodel is expected to be launched in April 2012 and will be priced slightlyhigher than the existing Persona model. We understand that it is a familysedan, targeting married male in the late 20s to 40s who are looking for anadditional car and a replacement car, as well as targeting medium to highhousehold income of RM5,000 to RM8,000 per month. In addition, Proton is alsotargeting single young professionals or executives who prefer sporty andperformance cars with the P321A.

The features.  The P321A has an enhanced safety feature withfour airbags. Apart from that, its body frame has also been strengthened via aprocess called Hot Press Forming  (HPF).This new high technology process is the first in Malaysia and South East Asia.The car can withstand a force of 1,500 mega Pascal. On the engine part, itcomes with a 1.6L Charged Fuel Efficiency (CFE) engine, which can beturbocharged to match 1.8L to  2.0L performance.Together with the engine, it has the Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT)technology which allows the car to change gear ratios seamlessly, eliminatingtransmission shock and facilitating a greater responsiveness and a smoothconsistent power delivery. The car also offers three driving modes namelyeconomy mode, sport mode and SAT mode to suit the driver's preference and feel.

Worth buying? Althoughthe price of the P321A is slightly more expensive, its new features such as the1.6L turbo engine, stronger body frame via HPF, shift lever with tiptronicmodeand paddle shifteras well as its spacious 508L boot space that can normally be foundin higher range cars. Therefore, it is likely to appeal to both family andyoung car buyers alike in our view. We,in fact, expect better sales for Protonfrom the P321A with its new enhanced features and we believe its lower pricetag comparatively may hive off some market shares from its fellow competitorsin the segment (such as Vios and City).
