I thought a prototype with CFE and 6MT was spotted a while ago? They will also need it for the European market, if they chose to introduce it there. (What is taking them so long? At least in the UK? If it takes much longer the car will be outdated by the time it is introduced...).

And yup, I think so too. Should be no problem introducing it in Malaysia too.

It took them long to get the 6MT suprima to market.  Im not so sure why, but i think maybe they need to calibrate performance vs emission?  hmm.gif

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 .

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

I think myvi selling well due to better quality control also. A few ppl i know who have myvi and some other protons at home, most of them say proton got some quality problems while myvi is perfect. For example dashboard got sound, door handle patah and so on. These minor probs la.

If this car is priced similar to Myvi, I don't think it will kill myvi yet but will definately eat up into Myvi sales quite a lot. Im not sure about other age groups but for urban college students from what I observed, buy myvi mainly because of size, quality control and perceived safety. Many parents are willing to pay extra for that.

Size - They only have 3 choices below 50k, viva saga and myvi. Viva too small and unsafe, saga too big, myvi just right.

Quality control - Proton definately lose here, viva perceived to be less reliable for some reasons so again myvi the winner.

Safety - Although Saga has 3 star Aussie/ASEAN NCAP, none of my friends know about it, so without this knowledge they will think it's unsafe due to the brand PROTON. Viva LOOKS unsafe physically. Myvi a winner by perception.

As an urban teen, this is the conclusion I make after observing and discussing with friends.

With addition of this new GCC, they can obviously beat myvi in terms of safety. Safety should be a big concern for parents, so if proton advertise 6 AIRBAGS and 5 STAR crash rating...that alone will hurt myvi sales a lil.

Oh, but Myvi can still attract more chicks rolleyes.gif

The Saga did better in ASEAN NCAP too. The Myvi barely got 3 stars, the Saga just missed 4.

i'm afraid parents will reject the GSC because it is a Proton.

Yeah. Completely unimportant quality problems too. Power window failure? Big deal. A bit of rattling and other noises? Who cares. Toyota and Honda have problems like airbags not working, brakes failing, cars that keep accelerating, ...

I have use to have both Myvi and a Savvy. Myvi has more serious issue and needs replacement for certain major parts. Savvy only have minor power window switch problem.
Dont make me laugh plz Myvi has better quality control. All minor issues can be fix, but the core design of the car can"t. Myvi is a floaty piece of junk with terrible seats which gave me back ache in the rear seats on long distance drive. Savvy deapite being smaller, is more comfortable in the rear.

The temp gauge I mentioned is in the Myvi la

The new GSC maybe adopted certain carmaker's philosophy of "you don't need no stinking temperature gauge"

I see.

Which car is this? The one that does not need a temperature gauge. I think the last car I had that went red at the temperature gauge was a Mitsubishi Galant 5th gen 1983-89. Even then, that was a time when the temp needle just hovered a bit and not in the middle like cars nowdays.
