a confused company trying to confuse buyers with their confused naming conventions.

With the "s", i hope there is significant engine output difference with existing preve cfe.

most likely different mapping only.

trim a bit can become Preve Aero.. sounds not bad actually..

by putting a supreme sounding name like suprima, ppl will expect it performs supremely.

Sorry folks.. the exterior (especially rear) already looks dated even before launch.

Whoever designed this.. really should do better. Probably the whole design team should consider finding another job.

Define dated.  BMW, Mercedes, Honda still use this kind of design.

Dated = looks old and unattractive, much like Hyundais in the yesteryears.

Those established makers have subtle styling but effective, timeless design and will take years to age.

It looks modern and timeless to me.  European design.

It'll look modern in the late 90s.

really, the rear has a hint of mazda 323 hatchback.

I dont think it's confusing.  They wanted a new name for first Proton C hatchback model.  The Suprima name can be reused for C hatchback line up in future.

I think it is a good thing for Proton to trademark as many name as possible, since they are very new and lack of models. New models is an opportunity to trademark new name.

With the current trend of proton's naming convention, I highly doubt they will reuse the name.
