I personally think that P3-21A is not a derivative of the 'Tuah' conceptual car. P3-21A is more like Pesona replacement.
The real 'tuah' most probably will use higher capacity engine which still in development (Family 'y') which comes in 1.2, 1.5 and 1.8l. All this might come with force induction (CFE) as well.
But seriously, P3-21A is gonna be a huge success for Proton (finger cross).
IAFM is sufficient enough for daily driven. Actually now I feel there's nothing to shout about on inspirar. I believe the campro turbo can be on par if not faster than inspirar. My only gripe is how they're going to vent the heat.
With the spec and performance (yet to see), this is way better deal than Inspira. Only that in inspira, you have the impression of mitsu engine's quality, compare to Proton's in house engine.
Back to the p3-21A.. it is a shame that they didn't go with the concept design for mass production. when it came out i thought proton finally did something amazing ala korean cars nowadays. but they had to go and tone it down and make it all weird..
And who again said Tuah is the concept of P3-21A? Proton never said that, except media.
If you look at the Tuah concept spec, it uses 1.8L engine. This can indicate that Tuah concept car might be using the 'family y' force induction engine, which have 1.8l in their list.
That is why i suggested that P3-21A is not a Tuah derivative. Tuah might be the successor of P3-21A.
Wah lau, lousy design, totally like 5 years back car, but if this to replace saga at 40k range, then I will accept it, but anything more expensive than that, it's just stupid.
I don't think people will hate nice design, example like lancer GT original design bumper, after proton took over and redesign the bumper, I think it become worst. not become more sporty. Inspira RIM is another one, fugly like mad, not sure whatever thing that proton does on thier design sure make them worst. For majority, people will not say nice design is ugly, I never heard anyone saying forte is ugly, K5 is ugly, sonata is ugly, but i heard so many of them complain inspira bumper n rims s u k s compare to original. sigh to proton, gonna be another failure.
Design is subjective. Personal preferences. Some might like it and some might not. You can't satisfy all.
