No go, Lotus does it better and Lotus is owned by Proton I know but this one is more to Maimee by that fat ass bumper, spoiler and with some Passo twist to it also at the rear bonnet door on GSC
Looks quite nice, despite the huuuuge fake diffuser. However that might the highest bootlid I have ever seen on a car (ok, those Corvettes where you lift the glass window are even higher...). Very, VERY unpractical.
I think the GSC looks quite decent. I still prefer the Preve... maybe that was designed with too much Europeans in mind? Cause I think it looks rather attractive, and I've asked a few friends and they agree, the Preve is quite nice.
Anyway, I'd expect a 40-50k price tag. Any more than that and they can forget it, no matter how good it is.
Hopefully the safety equipment is still there, even on the lowest specs. In turn you can drop the alloy rims, bodykit, radio, ... call it the customize it yourself edition. The buyer can invest what he has saved in visual items (nothing that sacrifices performance, safety etc.) in the lowest spec in the alloy rims he REALLY likes, the bodykit he really likes, etc.
I'm not so happy with the choice of engine as well. Maybe they can also offer it with the Renault TCe 90? At least overseas that would make sense, cause mechanics will be more familiar with that than with a Campro, CFE, NFE, ... in Malaysia of course they would have to really train Proton mechanics well, so that it won't be another Savvy disaster. (Reminds me of the Citroen SM. Great car, with a Maserati engine. Unfortunately Citroen mechanics back in the day were only used to rather ordinary Citroen engines, and not these works of art from Maserati, which require a skilled and experienced mechanic. That ruined many engines and, ultimately, meant the end for the SM).
