To be real honest, quite a good looking car considering how bad Proton has fared in their recent offerings wink.gif

For the rear look, would be better if Proton increase the size of rear diffuser and move the number plate at diffuser area. smile.gif

since someone already post about this leaked gsc car...
i want to share about this car since i attend a car market survey last month... other than this car, the researcher also use swift, jazz, viva, myvi 1.5, brio and also brio amaze as a benchmark unit... all car logo and badge is fully covered all the logo and badge... btw, all candidates just need to give opinion based on looks and experience only... not the engine because they didn't allow us to check the engine.. tongue.gif

actually this car is quite good and well equipped...
- projector headlamp with separate DRL
- dashboard -> hard plastic with faux leather stitches (like new vios)...
- sun visor -> you can pull extra cover at the side
- door trim with leather finishing
- push start button with keyless entry
- VSC
- leather seat
- the bonnet space is quite big... larger than swift 1.4 model
and many more to list down but i can't remember tongue.gif

but this is only preview unit and maybe they will do some changes before launch date...

Proton's weakest point is the engine. Specs wise, they are doing it correctly. We need a fuel efficient engine from Proton.

With limited resources, they doing everything they can for GSC to be at least in similar range of B segment city car.
They had to deal with 1.6NFE because that is the only viable option. I do hope they manage to shed some weight by using EPS instead of hydraulic, and that will improve FC. And also the tuning of CVT2 (perhaps CVT2+) will improve FC as well.

Other than that, the FC is will not be amazing because the engine is still campro with VVT technology.

Not gonna happen. They will need Rm 1 billion to build Campro 2.0. Building engines is freakingly expensive...thats why sometime s major car makers collaborate ob the same new engine platform...too expensive for 1 maker to bear the cost. And Proton is just a small fry by global market size.

Last time rumour jv with Petronas for engine...

Aiya..just buy from Honda or Toyota lah...I am sure they will gladly sell their last gen engine. ..which is probably still more fuel effixient than a Campro.

Looks like Maimee from rear so ugly behind. Rear light looks like stole from i10, front looks like Ford Fiesta + Maimee grill (but looks chrome so better than plastic with dimples on Maimees), Headlight like abit of Cerato + with Audi twist.

Overall looking like Maimee so no go for me.

Come on lah guys, be rational, just because it's a Proton doesn't mean it's all bad.

Look at that design, if it's a Honda / Toyota logo on it you'll all say "oh damn good".

Give the engineers / people who worked on it some credit. Imagine a good product that you put in a lot of effort and people hate it because they hate your boss, you don't like either right?

No I'm not a fan of any brand and I won't even consider buying this car, I'm just a little tired of hypocrites I saw here.

And yes I agree Proton has bad QC but their exterior design is not bad.

No lar...different segment mah...family man will not want small car. This is maybe 2nd car or for woman or for Ahbeng wants to vroom vroom.

So Iriz Ah Beng Edition use Campro 1.6 CFE. Proton can winrar and destroy P2 Maiwi Ahbeng.

Rumours already strong imply that it will be using the NA variant of the CFE, called the NFE. Same Campro block, but different from IAFM... this time with VVT and probably some different internals as well.

+1

I think the overall car weigh does increase the FC for the car. Preve is about 60-100kgs more then those in C segment.

Maybe at least CVVT + Alu engine block. CVT gear box should be good.

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).

Similar to Preve/Suprima S push start button? Where you need to insert the key into a slot. hmm.gif
IMO, the Suprima's rear light is pretty well designed. This one looks too similar to Myvi.

keyless entry. Suprima does not have this.

So hi spec is RM59999?

Highest spec Viva? This is a proper car, not some old outdated dangerous milo tin with engine.

Btw. did anyone notice? That car is being prepared for a crash test. Seems like one that will be published. I'm curious to see how it will turn out, though I'm more interested in the ANCAP/Euro NCAP result, not the nonsense ASEAN NCAP that Perodua, Toyota or Honda have paid for to make their cars look less bad than they actually are.

Come on lah guys, be rational, just because it's a Proton doesn't mean it's all bad.

Look at that design, if it's a Honda / Toyota logo on it you'll all say "oh damn good".

Give the engineers / people who worked on it some credit. Imagine a good product that you put in a lot of effort and people hate it because they hate your boss, you don't like either right?

No I'm not a fan of any brand and I won't even consider buying this car, I'm just a little tired of hypocrites I saw here.

And yes I agree Proton has bad QC but their exterior design is not bad.

Not sure if it is normal, but it should be the case, so that even the lowest specs are as safe as possible. Let's hope Proton didn't downgrade the base spec...

If that is true, it's possible that all safety features are available on all variants. The model pictured does seem to have keyless entry and DRL present. I doubt it's a baseline model. laugh.gif

Are there more photos? Cause the 3 posted in the first post don't give me any clue about those features. The DRL in the bumper may be just plastic covers...

The front bumper does look a bit "too much" for a baseline model though. (Also I'd prefer the car without the gaping mouth. Make it a bit softer).

Yes, the Picanto is a very good looking small car....sad my wife don't want....cry.gif...

I think it looks better than the GSC (Golden Screen Cinema??? hahahahah). But the GSC looks bigger definitely.

I think in Malaysia, everyone kiasu...all wants the biggest car they can buy.....then complain about FC. Hahaha.

Seriously, small expensive cars simply cannot sell in Malaysia.

Latest rumour i heard, it might be using Campro 1.3 Turbo (they dropped the CFE term already on SS remember?), so it will be less superior than Preve / SS but better than Saga FLX / Persona. But who knows? the 1.6 turbo could be offered on highline spec as well.

No way. See Polo.


To strike gold pot for this car, just need 1.3 turbo and MyVi priced (somewhere between 1.5SE and 1.5useless-xtreme) with having manual and auto on the highest spec + leather seats + drooling safety stuff.

I'm not sure putting in 1.3 CFE a wise move.... In case the kerb weight is ~1 tonne, the engine should be 1.0 turbo or just 1.3 NA direct/multi-point injection with high compression ratio, to be economical. It makes no sense having a compact car which is fuel consuming...

Since when Proton car is fuel efficient?(Except for Savvy, which has Renault Inside™ ) Asalkan ada vroom-vroom....hehe

Seriously, Proton only have 1.3 or 1.6 Campro. Its going to be either one of these, but 1.3 Turbo might be possible in the future if they modify the 1.3 Campro.

NFE is the last variation of campro. That is what i heard. But if they want to continue the development of direct injection on campro, then you'll see another 10 years of campro. brows.gif

Direct injection was planned on the pheonix project (1.6 CFE) along side with VVT and turbo. It was scrapped due to cost, and the engine might not be possible to be use in targeted market due to fuel quality.

The next engine is either Petronas NE01. Or Proton own small turbocharged engine (if the project still running).

Direct injection have no problem with our fuel quality in malaysia. Only certain countries have even lower qualities, which would not be possible to introduce that technology, and not able sell to those countries.

Those who bash and laugh at my comment virtually, at the other reality side, they actually look heavily on whatever I've said. Some of the comments can be used against their competitors too. Like towar from Honta and jolokia/feelfree from N-brand, in reality they are at war with each other Teana vs Accord and City vs Almera. You didn't know my comments were being used heavily by several brands marketing staff for their homework and to plan their strategy to fight each other? By right, they should have paid me plenty for saving their time for homework.

the front looks fine without anything fancy.

but everytime once they come out with a new model, sure the rear lamp looks unacceptable.

looks odd yet ugly, same goes to preve rear lamp.

Front indeed like the old fiesta even the wing mirrors. Somehow the headlamp reminds me of Golf mk6.

But the rear is bit plain. Kudos proton for the inclusion of ESP, TC shld be there as well.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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.

iinm,normally,for market survey,they only show u the highest variant,easy to guage the maximum price that people are willing to pay. the minimum or baseline shudnt be a prob. so,if the survey price between 50 to 60 k,means the highest variant will be price between the region.

iinm,highest variant of myvi is around 60k. so,50 to 60k is around the price of myvi extreme.

imho,the price will be more or less the same as myvi,maybe a bit cheaper. the baseline shud be price between 30k to 40k region,mid line 40 to 50k.

my guess,bline 35k manual 1.3. hline cvt 7 speed paddle shift 1.6 55k.

just my guess anyway.

Yes. I think the top specs should be little under Rm 60k max...this will ward off the Mawi Extreme.
But I think the cheapest should be 4xk...not too low specs. Do it like the koreans, safety features all the same, but luxury features reduced.

In think in this segment, there's 2 issues they need to address:
1) Space - which i think they got it right, comparable or bigger than Mawi.
2) FC - can it match the Mawi? Campro is known to suck fuel especially for city drive...i don't see how they can beat Mawi in this area..

Problem is in Malaysia...everyone no 1 concern is FC. Turtle or not nobody cares. Otherwise, how do you explain so many people buy Turtle Mawi?

I don't have doubt the GCC is a better car than whatever junk that P2 is coming up.

But if Proton wants a Myvi killer, they need to address the main concern and attack the market.

starting from suprima,prtn use cmbined cycle fc,n its not far from real life actually. compare to other makes in malaysia that used cmbine cycle fc,it seems far stretch. u know the ford case lately.

the prob is when the fc figure stated in the brochure stated nearly to the real figure,normally the numbers isnt good n may actually cause the people sway away from it.

As it is....Proton is still Proton, Perodua is Toyota. I don't see the GCC/GSC/TGV/MBO being a Maivee killer anytime soon. Brand perception is important.

If Proton sell at lower price, the market perceives it as a cut cost milo tin. Too expensib, nobody willing to pay more money for a Proton.

It doesn't help that Proton's marketing team is utterly, utterly useless.

gcc wont be a killer to any marque,especially myvi. gcc is just a car that being develop base on what prtn had learned from preve n suprima for the world market,rather than malaysian market solely. of course, the 1st attempt has its own pros n cons, the 2nd one shud address the cons on the 1st attempt.
prtn shud produce a car that is less pricey than its competitor,but not by too much cuz in order to make it too cheap,too much cost cutting measures it need to make.
i think the new owner wont be doing that too much. but expect more sharing parts in the near future model to cut cost.
i have to agree with dares on the marketing sides.
for the time being,what ive heard that drb dont want gcc to be like preve during the launch. thats why gcc launching is kept being delayed,even its bad for marketing cuz it will be launched after raya season.

the car is ready,but not for launching yet. in progress to prepare test drive n showroom cars. i think september shud be the launching.

personally,as i said past few month ago,its better than suprima,maybe the best proton effort to date.

but dont expect too much cuz its proton n its a b segment hatch. if everything ok,maybe it can it a bit of share from b hatch segment market,but not killing any model,especially myvi.
its not easy to gain market trust,but i believe they r trying hard to do so.

they get it right,global standard for preve n suprima nterm of safety rating,equipments n handling,but loosing interm of build n perceive quality,engine refinement including fc,no where near the global status.

gcc is to adress the above weakness. eventhough i know a lot about gcc,but i think,let the market speaks for itself,whether it can survive,time will tell.

personally, it will surpass any proton makes. punch also work hard to adress any weakness of its cvt.

Savvy was still considered to be a hit amongst the young and urban demographics during its sales run right up until it being discontinued. I am sure the new GCC will be able to surpass total Savvy sales records, since the trend is there for urbanites to go for compact cars due to its practicality. Pricing will tell whether this car will be a hit or a miss.

By mat79 explanation if he is correct, GCC will use new type of engine or current engine upgrade to be more refined to address FC especially for local folks that very FC concern. Very good move by Proton keep innovating and progressing.

For rally, Neo, yes. GCC, not sure, but i don't think it is suitable for one. Size and aerodynamics is not suited to make it a rally car.

i dont like to use the word killer n dont like to compare directly to other products. as i mentioned,.we cant defy prtn suprima n preve manage to get global car status on safety aspects,equipments n loosing out on refinement,built quality n fc.

gcc supposed to adress the weakness n maintaining the standard being set by preve n suprima.

u said i mentioned that i said it wont be enough to compete with myvi, never said that,i said its not a myvi killer,or any killer :-) interm of sales cuz it isnt launch yet.

comparing advancement at what i mentioned above,interm of global standard, do u think myvi tick all the boxes? maybe u have the answers.

as i said, personally,gcc surpass suprima, but i dunno whether u think myvi is better or worse than suprima. either one,it doesnt matter,its ur preference n opinion.

If the price is right, then i don't see why not. Least aways, although superb FC from a Proton might still be a desired trait instead of a reality for now, at least you are getting your value's worth from great handling and safety aspects, and these are not present in Perodua cars. But then again, we are all entitled to buy whatever cars we see fit to buy, our own money what??? tongue.gif

Honestly, Myvi pales in comparison to the GSC. The only thing the Myvi has going on is its brand image, and possibly RV. Sadly, that's what most Malaysians look for in a car. Safety, handling, etc, are only afterthoughts.

After all, safety doesn't matter if you're a capable driver right? /sarcasm laugh.gif

I think the Proton marketing staff has quite a task ahead, and they aren't the best there is. Hiring a foreign agency might not work either cause the Malaysian market is quite peculiar, and it seems clear to me that the GCC wasn't only designed for Malaysia. If it were, safety would not be important.

If it is really as good as mat79 says, maybe they can launch the car overseas first? Or at the same time. But get overseas journalists to try the car. Compare it with its peers. Then use the foreign reviews to advertise the car. Get EuroNCAP to test the car, then stress how much harder it is to pass EuroNCAP versus ASEAN NCAP.

Also try to get away from the belief that Proton gets a lot of help from the government, that Malaysians are suffering because of Proton.

Try to get confidence in the brand by improving service and treatment of customers, and making it public. There was a report on how bad the hygiene was at a Burger King in Germany, which led to people stop eating there. They came up with an ad showing the CEO of BK in Germany, talking about what happened, how they are going to fix the problem (regular independent checks for example) and raise standards, and that they have fired those in charge. Proton could do something like that. Try to be honest and humble, admit past failings and the commitment to improve. And act upon it.

Now, it is theorotically a private company since Khazanah sold all it's share to DRB Hicom. Unfortunately DRB Hicom made a mess of things now until Mamakthir have to step in. And now Mamakthir, still acting like he is the PM, will demand Najib to follow his(Mamaktiu) wishes and directions.

thats news allen, i knew that the new perodua will eventually replacing viva,but not that sooner. but based on the price bracket,it seems it will replace viva asap cuz the viva price just being reduced due to cost saving measurements(as they said), n the new perodua price is at the new viva pricing.

unless the new viva pricing is stock clearence,then,it seems viva being kill by its own product then.

the pricing between 26k to 40k is a rightful price for new a segment perodua. iinm,its siblings in indonesia only use 1 engine option that is new 1 l engine.

previously i thought the price will be around 1.0 l viva, around 35k to 45k. it seems that perodua really want this p2 new baby to go head to head with gcc.

thats good actually. this means prtn marketing teams need to come out with something special.

n i hope,even the price war strategy seems favouring perodua,proton n drb shud stick to the plan,even baseline has all the passive safety equipments,of course,the numbers of airbags will be reduced to 2,but others still intact.

just afraid the board taking any radical movement to offer just a basic offering. thats what happened so many times previously, hope they do it right this time.

dont waste the effort done by rnd team.

kadajawi,of course everything is done to surpass suprima, but in safety aspect,even toyota n bimmer missed the mark even during the dev stage,it aces all the required test.

thats why i rather compare gcc with other prtn,rather than other marques.

@mat79: Are you talking about BMW and Toyota not doing well in the small overlap test? I doubt these cars were ever meant for a small overlap test. And to be competitive Proton only needs to do well on regular 40% overlap tests.

Not sure Proton should even try to compete with the Viva/Viva successor. How could they? It's a smaller car, made much cheaper and probably nowhere near as safe. It should compete with the Myvi, and that's it. And ideally it comes with full safety specs in all cars, because that way there's no chance of a crash test involving a car that only has 2 airbags, thus ending up with a not so good result. I doubt the general public will differentiate and say oh, the higher spec car is safe, the lower one isn't.

about price i already mentioned in my previous comment... they asked us to tick which price range we willing to pay for this car and it started from 50k-60k... hope it will be cheaper that that since this is our own local car.. but who knows since DR M already said want to change strategy from being maker of cheap cars to become world-class carmaker...

@kadajawi,nope,previously,some of the cars didnt get full starts,they had to revise it n after that they manage to get flying colors. its not a big thing by the way,just want to point even test were done extensively,still in the end,we are human,nothing perfect though.

the code still the same,never change, p230a. gsc or gcc its not a code or its official name.

there r some a segment being benchmark models,but not viva or viva replacements of course.

c segment already have preve n suprima. the only thing left is d segment.

there wont be too many b segments as previous such savvy,saga,gen2 n persona. not profitable in long run. so,they put out lot of effort on gcc,so that the next b sedan,supposed to replace saga,it will also cater the the gen2 n persona spot. meaning that,it will be a direct competitor with other b segment sedan,rather than just another cheap alternative to other b segments.

instead just come out with many new cars, focusing on segments.

gen2/persona are C segment actually, not really B segment if you ask me.

when I met one of the Perodua directors 2 months back, he mentioned it will be end of the year for new Viva and the news I received yesterday, is even months earlier.
Perodua does worry of the GSC/GCC as during the monthly dealer briefing, the National Dealer Development head strongly emphasized on "rationalism" strategy to improve all branches/dealers corporate image, facilities so that their share of pie will not be stolen by Proton and any other manufacturers out there.

Yes, the truth is P1 and P2 doesn't differ much, although P2 fans will always try to say that P1 is poorer. I feel that the hate for P1 is due to the fact that it's the first national car maker and used to have brush-brush relationship with the federal government.

To deny that the GCC will eat into P2 sales would be naive. If priced at the same range, but GCC having a more complete safety package plus amazing driveability (Lotus assisted in the design afterall), I'm sure rational car buyers would definately favour the GCC over the existing P2 offerings, which in the direct sense, the myvi.

All in all, I always see these as positive things to happen. To have competition amongst the car makers will only benefit us buyers in the long run. I mean, WHEN will P2 finally offer complete safety packages in their cars? Now with the GCC, perhaps this will happen sooner. So it's always good to have healthy competition and pressure for the car makers.

Although Gen2/Persona actually a C segment size during it launch, but the spec level is not really up to the segment. I always perceive the persona is B segment car with it prices.

Anyway it is good to know that Proton is eliminating A segment, and focus on GCC to fill both A and B compact cars segment. To do this, they must have lot of variants. I'm a bit worried that it will compromise safety equipments. Just hoping that the base variant will have at least 2 airbags and ESC. If not, Proton just putting their effort on emphasizing safety on their recent products back to drain. Because they can no longer advertise their product is best in safety in 1 product regardless variant, without much explanation on safety kits.

B segment sedan (probably saga R), probably the first B segment global sedan for proton. thumbup.gif

I'm not sure i read somewhere that Perodua already had their RnD department (the real one), and will start operating in 2018. Well, at least can start with shared platform and engine.

It took Proton 17 years after establishment to get their first in house product (Proton Waja). Perodua was establish in 1993, now is 2014 still no news about their own in house product.

They stopped selling Nautica since Toyota bring in Rush. To be honest, car buyers don't care about AWD, all they want is cheaper prices, thus causing the Nautica sales to plummet drastically.

Partially true only. If you survey around, there are people in construction sector who keeps hunting for used Kembara Manual. They must have 4WD because there is no proper road in construction site, 2WD car might get stucked. Auto is a nono since lack of torque and easy to overheat the transmission if throttle hard to get the car itself unstuck. Other options would be Hilux, Storm ,Frontier, Ranger , however replacement parts for those 4WD trucks are expensive especially the tires and suspension items. Road tax is cheap too. Therefore they prefer the Kembara whether the HC-EJ engine or the K3-VE version.

So people actually want both cheap and good laugh.gif

The car the first gen Myvi was based on, the Daihatsu Sirion, came with 6 airbags and stability control IIRC in Europe.

Ayla I wouldn't expect much though, that seems like an Indonesian model.

Savvy was still considered to be a hit amongst the young and urban demographics during its sales run right up until it being discontinued. I am sure the new GCC will be able to surpass total Savvy sales records, since the trend is there for urbanites to go for compact cars due to its practicality. Pricing will tell whether this car will be a hit or a miss.

Suprima is a step up from Preve.

Things that can learn from Suprima:

If this Iriz has proper keyless and a HU unit that does not reset every time you start the car, that alone is a huge win. If can have Waze even better. But need to address the car radio not remembering where the last track was. Suprima drivers can tolerate the keyless and other small stuff, but the HU is the biggest letdown in a car that is almost complete in all aspects. Hence my quest to find a uber radio. Compared to normal non-android radio, this is a big step. Not everyone can change the radio wallpaper everday.


QUOTE(mat79 @ Jun 20 2014, 12:44 AM)
thats news allen, i knew that the new perodua will eventually replacing viva,but not that sooner. but based on the price bracket,it seems it will replace viva asap cuz the viva price just being reduced due to cost saving measurements(as they said), n the new perodua price is at the new viva pricing.

unless the new viva pricing is stock clearence,then,it seems viva being kill by its own product then.

the pricing between 26k to 40k is a rightful price for new a segment perodua. iinm,its siblings in indonesia only use 1 engine option that is new 1 l engine.

previously i thought the price will be around 1.0 l viva, around 35k to 45k. it seems that perodua really want this p2 new baby to go head to head with gcc.

thats good actually. this means prtn marketing teams need to come out with something special.

n i hope,even the price war strategy seems favouring perodua,proton n drb shud stick to the plan,even baseline has all the passive safety equipments,of course,the numbers of airbags will be reduced to 2,but others still intact.

just afraid the board taking any radical movement to offer just a basic offering. thats what happened so many times previously, hope they do it right this time.

dont waste the effort done by rnd team.

kadajawi,of course everything is done to surpass suprima, but in safety aspect,even toyota n bimmer missed the mark even during the dev stage,it aces all the required test.

thats why i rather compare gcc with other prtn,rather than other marques.
*
I already see the proper keyless entry. That alone has surpassed Suprima. Not sure if they fixed the android unit though.

If the baseline is the SV option, than so be it. However, I agree this is not the route to follow. Though I do hope it will be earlier than this Axia. Maybe just after raya is a good time. If it is after Axia, then need to have stuff which entice people towards Iriz.

Might pick up one myself for the wife....or maybe using her as a reason to buy the car laugh.gif

Just chat with a friend who is Proton Edar Sales Manager.

P2-30A will come in three variants.
The top variant shall be 1.6litre, 6 airbags, ESC, and expect to be 50k++, CVT only

He isn't too sure about the standard and executive specs though, but he remembered that it will be manual/CVT for each variants, the number of airbags should be 2 only and the he isn't sure the availability of ESC in this two variants.

Top variant for 50k plus only? Sounds like a nail in the coffin for the 1.5 Myvi Extreme.

Judging from spyshots of the touchscreen and non-touchscreen head unit, at least 2 variants would have ESC. A little bit wonky of Proton to only include 2 airbags for the other variants, seeing how the Preve has 6 airbags across the range.

That's disappointing. It should be 6 airbags and ESC across the range. Stuff like alloy rims can be dropped, no bodykit, simple radio... just don't sacrifice safety. Though I guess in Malaysia safety is the first thing you should drop, cause people don't care.

I know, I know. Again, in Malaysia safety doesn't matter. I can understand if they go for lower safety standards in the low spec car. However I'd argue that that might be short sighted and may not be that beneficial in the end.

Proton could focus their marketing strategy around safety. But they'll look like hypocrites if only the highest spec is actually good. Also, people have been burnt by the Preve first offering 2 and 4 airbags, and suddenly within a year or so even the entry level car surpasses the previous highest spec car. If Proton now announces the GSC with 2 airbags and no stability control, some people may hold out or just get something else, as they think they're going to get shafted. ASEAN NCAP may only test the low spec car, thus achieving a not so good result. Good luck trying to tell everyone that the highest spec is actually a much safer car. If you stress that, people will complain why Proton doesn't care about the safety of the people. If you don't, people will think better buy other brand.

Airbags aren't that expensive, and if only the highest spec has all the airbags, economies of scale aren't that good. The savings may not be that great by going for 2 airbags.

Not sure about the CVT. It is often times criticized, rightfully or not. Why not something like a 6 speed torque converter, say the Aisin unit VW uses in the Polo Sedan? They can say Toyota gearbox, but more advanced than what Perodua and Toyota use. Also with a modern 6 speed torque converter the FC shouldn't be too bad. And it feels nicer to drive.

The top variant shall be 1.6litre, 6 airbags, ESC, and expect to be 50k++, CVT only

He isn't too sure about the standard and executive specs though, but he remembered that it will be manual/CVT for each variants, the number of airbags should be 2 only and the he isn't sure the availability of ESC in this two variants.

... If Proton now announces the GSC with 2 airbags and no stability control, some people may hold out or just get something else, as they think they're going to get shafted. ASEAN NCAP may only test the low spec car, thus achieving a not so good result. Good luck trying to tell everyone that the highest spec is actually a much safer car. If you stress that, people will complain why Proton doesn't care about the safety of the people. If you don't, people will think better buy other brand.

Airbags aren't that expensive, and if only the highest spec has all the airbags, economies of scale aren't that good. The savings may not be that great by going for 2 airbags.

Shafted is the right word. What happened with the initial Preve buyers. The main reason I'm interested in the GSC is 6 airbags + ESC + ABS + all the other acronyms.

If the 1.6 is going to be CVT only that's a real bummer because I prefer a manual one any day. Didn't Proton realise after launching Suprima that some people actually want a manual transmission?

If on top of that not all variants have the full safety package, I'd probably look at something else. Even the manual Picanto comes with 6 airbags AND all-around discs, FWIW.

Then again from experience, information from SA/manager isn't necessarily accurate so I'll wait till the launch to decide.

Bro, the some people who prefer manuals are few and far between. Maybe only some people here in fnf...in the real world the demand is very little. If proton dont offer manual, I think they do the right thing. ..less cost to test another variation and support and maintenance issues. But they might offer manual of this car is to be targeted globally.

Even the new honda city dont have manual anymore. It just doeant makes business sense in the local market.

i also like the manual trans. it just depend on the market. theres rumours that premium cvt also featuring paddle shift. yup,it cant replace the manual excitement,but atleast,a remedy.

we may like manual,but maybe the market demand more on auto box. especially the premium version of any car. there r many others dont offer manual in malaysia,but offer it to our neighbouring countries. maybe msian market is auto oriented driver.
just wait n see whether they will come out manual variant for 1.6.

the ipanel seems better than sid in preve@suprima.

In Europe auto gearboxes are usually a RM 7-12k option (plus it is not offered on all engine options, so you may not get the most powerful engine or you may not be able to get the smallest engine), only on something like the S class is an auto gearbox standard.

That's Europe. In BolehLand, it does difference somehow especially when Driving License (automatic cars only) will be introduced in the market soon.

The demand for manual transmission vehicle in Malaysia? Certainly consider as niche market if you ask me.
For a manufacturer who with limited budget, they better concentrate on something that could really sell.

I am aware of that. I was just trying to explain why cars are offered with a manual gearbox overseas. It is cheaper, and people prefer it anyway.

Of course Malaysians generally don't like manual. I think that has also to do with the manual cars you do get to drive. You learn driving on a manual Kancil or Viva, and let me guess, they are dreadful? If Malaysians were to learn on a manual conti it might be different. They are easy to drive, the gearbox itself is fun, the clutch is light and good, ... yes it still takes some effort to learn it, but it's not so bad.

I've driven a manual Myvi, and thought it was so bad that I could understand the preference for auto for once.

If Malaysians use bluetooth/wired headset all the time they drive, I do think manual is a good option to go with.
Till then, not really. Most Malaysians are not educated to be multi-tasking, that's the reality here.

What I seen in Malaysia, manual transmission mostly available in commercial vehicles. At least Hilux is the manual vehicle that I'm driving frequently lately.

In my simplistic thinking, if they are going to manufacture those units anyway, it really isn't going to cost them much more to assign X number of units to the domestic market, according to bookings.

I can only hope that they (Prtn) is stalling the launch for GCC because they want everything to be really ready and perfect. But if launching this GCC already takes considerable time, I wonder if P1 will still be able to meet their target by launching their first hybrid car and the new Perdana (read: Accordana) by end of next year and Q1 2016.

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.

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 .

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

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.

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.

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.

People just like to search for flaws with Proton's because they hate the company because they think it's causing high car prices.

I can only hope that they (Prtn) is stalling the launch for GCC because they want everything to be really ready and perfect. But if launching this GCC already takes considerable time, I wonder if P1 will still be able to meet their target by launching their first hybrid car and the new Perdana (read: Accordana) by end of next year and Q1 2016.

yes, better everything is settled then only launching.

don do selling first, and let the sc back handled the 'insider knowing issue' after sale, this way will hurt brand name kau kau every time.
