3000 + maybe...

as i know proton have stock up 3k units & it gonna take about 2 weeks to deliver after loan approve

hmmm...i m sure they wud hv over stocked this particular model already jz like da many previous models...

proton has so so many cars..all new..and unwanted..

Just because of many models came out from Perodua. Hope this up coming model from proton will have a better result.

Based on the current information it is better than current Gen2. It suppose to fix all the Gen2 issue like power window, glove box, headroom etc.

curious. isn't the current Gen2 already a Sedan?

and funny thing is Gen2 already competing with Waja. and now they wish to release another.

will it be called Gen2 again?

Yeah, it's me again. Nice to meet you too.

Just putting sense into ppl's heads and stopping bashers from making ridiculous comparisons.

Time will tell.... People will judge in the showrooms,.. the real size of cars in relation to weight.

Believe me.. ~1000kg cars feel different inside and look a lil smaller on the outside than the ~1200kg cars. I had to make a choice recently.

1000kg vs 1200kg
Ford: Fiesta vs Focus
Honda: Jazz/Fit Aria vs Civic
Toyota: Yaris vs Corolla
Proton: Savvy vs gen2
Mazda: Mazda2 vs Mazda3

still dont believe me? Owh rite, i forgot... bashers will always say things like: "gen2 needs to be heavier because proton engineers not so skilled lah bla bla bla". They often have teh l33t skill of clairvoyance to make broad sweeping claims like that. Then they go around saying the Civic should be RM30k when even without tax, without NAP, it's above RM70k (assuming proton/NAP didnt exist). Ignorance.

IM not a proton fanatic. Heck, i dont even drive a proton. My jazz is a month old... and already has a bit of dashboard creeking. fvck. But overall it's a good car. I get 6-8L/100km with a light foot on the pedal... I wonder how the FC figures in the brochure was calculated. Honda City (Fit Aria) 5.XL/100km is kinda hard to believe.

The current Gen2 is more to an aeroback model. Think of Wira sedan and aeroback.. you get the idea

And the real name will only be revealed during the official launch scheduled on 15th August.

let guess the name..proton gen3 wakakaka...

see, that's the thing. the Aerobock models are 5 door hatchbacks. Gen2 would never be called a 5 door car and it never was.

and sorry, didn't read through the pages - just want to know if this one's going to replace the Gen2. anone with this info?

yeah saw that at the new car site.

It's not going to replace Gen2. It is a new Gen2 sedan.
More like Gen2 a/b and Gen2 sedan. Same like Wira.

k. so looks like we're having another car come in to compete with the already competing Gen2 vs Waja.

now all Proton cars come with 5 years warranty or mileage(forgotten) which come first.
I don't think interest play a lot with length of warranty period.

i think. Proton is phasing out Perdana n the successor of waja will fill the gap.
and gen2 sedan r filling waja's current place.

maybe

most important part for this car; CPS and also a redesigned facia/interior + reliability

hopefully no more exploding/cars on fire due to wiring harness/short-circuit problem.

Added on July 25, 2007, 12:36 am seriously; u guys buying a car hoping to crash it into a tree ?

the most important thing is even if you are planning to buy Mercedes / BMW / Ferraris, make sure your driving skill + RIGHT ATTITUDE OTR is there

otherwise buying any blardy imported/exotics sports car/sedan also no point

speaking of "big/safe cars"....if u drive like an ******* and bang into a truck or a tree....even how "safe" the car also ur life will be in danger....accident usually happens to people that dont follow rules and drive like a nutcase

even continental cars are having soft body / shell these days.

i will never own another proton..fed up adi...

i laughed.

i laughed at one post saying about comparing FC between 1.3 car and 1.6 car.

i laughed at one post saying 'smart consumers wont buy proton'.

i laughed at Proton for not being innovative, and introduce a sedan (or modifying a hatchback) to make a comeback.

producing cars with the same parts reduces cost of the parts, reducing the cost of the car. This is the nature of proton cars mostly. you can see that the parts used in the wira for example, it is the same for wira aeroback, satria, satria gti, n few more models i forgot the name.

same mould, millions and millions of the same parts.
this is why you will see cars appearing to be very similar. esp from proton

50k for a car, is not worth the money but there is nothing you can do since its the cheapest car in msia.
I suspect it can be cheaper, but Proton wants max profit, but still it's merely surviving.


in uk, there are so many 'brand' of cars that the price is so competitive.
lousy cars can't penetrate into the market with the price, such proton n perodua,

Top gear alr shows you how unsafe a waja is as compared to a car 1k more expensive. so would you spend 1k extra ?
but that's not the case in msia, wan a better car, pay 20k more for something in the same class ....
(don't do conversion)

edit : well not the cheapest car, but still, the next cheapest in the same class i suppose,

Do they dare make something new ? not i suppose, especially with the result of the 'JUARA' if you remember, and the 'TIARA'

person who design is brave,
person who approve is a d*** stupid nuts....
