I've been observing this thread since day 1. About time I see more rational forumers here. It's starting to feel like the old days of the forum now. Not just stupid-talk and measuring of e-penis. Heh.

To keep on topic, does anyone know if it will be mid this month or if it will be really pushed to the end of the month. I need a new car...and will probably be an early adopter of the P3-21A

The highest spec one...will it have leather seats? I think it's been asked several times but no answer as of yet.

On a side-note, the idiotic-bashers should just stfu and gtfo. I mean, really. You complain and treat proton like it's so horrible. They're finally making a move in the right direction. Credit where it's due.

Buy beemer better la, merc better la blah blah blah. Your self confidence so little is it? Must be "endorsed" by some foreign brand to make yourself feel better about your sorry self? I pitty those fools (Imagine Mr. T style).

I had an old A6. A friend drives the 525i. Another one the Diana Merc. You know how much we have to pay for maintenance? If the bloody car breaks down, bloody hell, parts for the A6 is hell to find. It's been in the workshop for god knows how many months now.

If the proton breaks down? Heh. Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy. Cheap to boot. No need to wait for my mechanic to source for the parts. Or even worse - he can't source for it and asks me to do it. I don't have the time man.

On another note, the only gripe I have with Proton is the old days when they used to export the higher QC cars...at a lower price. While we get the shite cars and the higher price.

They've improved since, and I think they should be given a chance to prove themselves.

Damn, my post became a wall of text. Sorry guys. Just thought I'd chip in my two pence worth.

Cow..ish? Like the old masterpiece kinda leather? I prefer those as opposed to the newer one. Easier to maintain

I just find leather in a car to be much easier to maintain. Heat wouldn't be an issue if you get it tinted. The one that reflects heat and all. I think my mechanic is an idiot. And lazy. They can source they told me - but said upfront it'll be expensive. And said it's hard. So they would much rather I source for it. I did once, and got it for much cheaper - even they were surprised (well, I didn't source it per se, my friend did )

I think it's a good effort on their part though with trying so hard to use their own engine. Just that it's a hit or miss sometimes. In the days of yore lah. Now I think they're doing a much better job.

Uh-oh. Somehow, this doesn't bode too well.


Come on guys! No more news leak?

Woo Hoo! Thanks for the link mate!

Logically, it should be launched at that time. I'm guessing pre-orders would be opened then.

*rubbing hands in anticipation*

Wooooo! Thanks for the info man!

But the highest spec really don't have leather seats meh?

Which brings me to the next quote...

You're talking about the P3/Preve right? So...does the top of the line have leather seats or not?

Coolio. Thanks for the info bro! How long does it usually take for the car to arrive if booking is made now?

Dude, I could kiss you.

Thanks. Seriously.

I second the motion. Seriously a lot of informative post from him :salute:

On a side note, any news if there really are leather seats for the highest spec?

Oh, question: Anyone knows when the booking will close? Need to book asap
