i agree with u.
it shud not say remote keyless entry (again, correct me if im wrong, as i only base this on Preve turbo). shud rephrase it as just push start.

At least as compared to normal key ignition system, it is much harder to steal.
Try check on those thief magnet vehicle, push start or key ignition?

no...


because of this

yes. Pointless, since after you slot the key, start the car, you can eject your key and continue driving.

Erm. The easiest to steal are cars with keyless go. You don't need a key to drive away the car, so all you need to do is transmit the signal. Unless the car does some fancy communication with the key (e.g. send data to the remote control, have the remote control encrypt it with a key only car and remote know, and then send it back) AND analyses the time for the signal to arrive back, and on a regular basis, you can easily steal the car. But by doing so the power consumption of the key would be a bit high.

It is also the most elegant way of stealing a car, since there is no brute force, no suspicious activity involved. A man walks to the car, the car automatically unlocks, he gets in, drives away. No looking for some wires in the car, no trying to pick a lock, ...

And before anyone says why haven't we seen this before... actually students did demonstrate that this is possible (on a variety of vehicles, like BMW etc. IIRC), and the parts to do so are cheap.

I still prefer keys. They are at least a bit safer.

As for the GSC... I like it. 50-60k would be stupid though. Why would anyone get it over a Preve? Also, the boot lip (?) is quite high it seems, higher than in the Myvi. The lower it is, the easier to load and unload the boot.

If what you said is true and they are seriously considering that price range, I wish Proton all the luck in the world. They might as well start planning their next mega discount carnival.

Regardless of how much kit + the kitchen sink they're throwing into this car, even if they make it bulletproof, Malaysians are still likely going to go for Myvi/Axia/Picanto/Mirage or on the other end, Alza/Almera.

If they price it the same as Myvi's range or less, then we might have a bestseller pisang goreng panas.

Judging from various spy shots of this car, it seems that at least 2 variants would have DRL, judging from the design of the rims. However, the 6 spoker (smaller wheels, no body kit. Presumably a lower variant) does not come with smart entry button.

Good to know that DRL would at least be available on 2 variants.

50 to 60k i take Picanto. This car must be 4xk only.

Pikachu K-car wor....this one is a B-hatch like Meevee.

If they put in a 1.6l.....I'd take this over Meevee or Pikachu.

Should put a highest variant with a turbo engine. Pick the same formula like how the VW Polo 1.2TSI manage to sell despite it is so damn small inside. Older fiesta 1.6 hatch also had great sales. Those are no sports car, but sporty hatch with good power.

Why wanna fight sales with Myvi ? Ppl buy Myvi because Malaysians perceive Perodua has better QC than Proton. Why not be more creative and carve your own niche market from youngsters, Proton ?

And please, if manual variant, go learn to make the clutch position easier to drive, short gear shifter . Don't do like the typical Persona manual settings, adjust clutch till so high and hard. Traffic jam so torturing to drive. Instrument cluster, at least look as good as the new Myvi . Or go copy abit from the Honda CRZ . Take a lesson from the Civic FD, it can sell , one of the reason because of the futuristic meter cluster .

instrument cluster already leaked....nothing special there.


Please tell me those gauges will lit up when you start the engine, instead of having to switch on the headlamp like the Saga....

IF this is the real instrument cluster , means it has a 2.0L NA equivalent ?? 240km/h meter wor...

should have chrome ring surrounding the gauge that will reflect the backlight..otherwise the gauge looks dull and cheap..

i personally liked the traditional one
instead of the optitron like the one in myvi and alza
no point having it lit up when engine start

i was gonna comment on that too
240KM/H...prolly mean it has a turbocharged variant

Myvi 1.3 also have 220km/h la....



u think polo meh My ciplak Fiesta also don't have

4x k is a reasonable and logical price. I'm actually waiting for GSC's launch before I decide which new car to get. It is an interesting car, but if it's 50-60k I might just consider other cars.

Rumours say that the Nissan March's coming here...

i would say the GSC will be more archivable
proton usually are tuned for power and handling

To be honest, for brand new Proton models (not facelift or sedan to hatchback/hatchback to sedan), I'd wait a few batch or at least a year after launch before buying.

pelanjiao you wanna drive at that speed in a normal car

Looks good to me. Though, as usual: Silver painted plastic looks cheap. Either it is real metal, or do something else. Yellow. Black. Anything. Just not silver.

It's useful in situations when it is not dark enough to switch on the headlamps, but not bright enough to see the gauges clearly, ie, dim tunnels.

Meevee's one is a bit silly, because the meter cluster is lit all the time, you have to look at the aircon controls to see if you have actually switched on the headlamps. I've seen many LBLPs cruising along at night with their headlamps off because the drivers didn't know.

Other cars have a headlamp indicator in the meter cluster.
