Pictures, I din't have any. But information about the car, I have plenty smile.gif First of all, I still see no wild factor in this coming new model of Proton. The car comes with built-in features, yes. As of fully loaded? No, I don't think so. So basically it comes with 6 bags. A trunk that is even bigger than Prevè? I think so. True day-light running LED, yes not the fake one. This time, BRIGHTER. Finally it looked okay. The rims? No, it wasn't taken from Inspira. It looks better than the one on Inspira. Front and Back parking assist, yes I said front and back. A reverse camera, quite clear actually. But the player on the car, ugh -.- I can't accept that thing spoiling the whole car. That player is just SO CHEAP looking, OMGE sleep.gif At least the Finishing of the interior is slightly better, but it's more or less the same. Just look better. And no more water-repellent shit seats, this time around it comes with nicely finished napa leather seats! Oh that quality, I just love it. It's a tight one, unlike the very soft ones you find in those Luxury car like Mercedes. Which make your long ride a less pain in the ass. Other features like Hill-Assist, TCS, ESC, EBD, ABS. Player wise, it's an android player. Ugh sleep.gif Naming wise, the name is real nice. I just hope that the name won't backfire. As for release date, nothing has leaked out. Should be around the beginning of September or the end of this month

Any info on the pricing?

As for the Hill-Assist, issit using the brakes like VW/Ford, or using slipping clutch like the current car  hmm.gif

It's said to be RM 7X,XXX.XX. I'm guessing RM 76k for East Msia.

I thought Proton Suprima gonna be a rebadge Honda Accord or something that will replace proton relic; Proton Perdana.

The name IS A PROBLEM. Front really looks like Proton Preve, it should have been name Proton Preve Hatchback or Proton Preve Sport or something. Check Ford Focus for example(Ford Focus Titanium, Ford Focus S and so on).

Bad naming will cause people to confuse.

Yes, the name could lead to confusion. But you cant say that by hearing the name itself is not nice @@ Just worried that it would backfire the model. The name is nice, just inappropriate.

Wouldn't it be epic if they changed the name last minute?

I mean, the TURBO badge already leaked, except that Suprima badge.

One cant change the name simply just like that. Im guessing that it cant be changed.

Do you think it worth that price with all those features? Or should we look at different brand for that kind of price?

It's only a matter of perceptions smile.gif Feature wise, it's quite obvious that the Suprima is superior of those vehicle in the same segment and pricing range. Value for money always goes to national line up. Right? Quality of the finishing of the car, it's acceptable compared to other brand with the same pricing. You get something even, don't look at a hatchback which is priced at 140k. Suprima certainly can't rival up with that one. It's the perceptions of our people that matters the most smile.gif

The name is that of an adult diaper sort of brand.

Search for Suprima and this is what you get:

If I search for Preve, I get the Proton Preve. Focus get Ford Focus and a newspaper. Wira get Wiralution. Vios get Vios. Fiesta get Ford Fiesta. And so on. But Suprima... adult diapers. And it is pretty much the market leader in that sector, they dominate the market and are well established. A small Malaysian car maker won't push them away so easily.

So be it, lol. Diapers are diapers, cars are cars. Two very different thing brother. How many people out of 10 actually know or remember an adult diaper's brand name? I certainly don't, not me. Rofl
