Last time Proton used to built low quality car and you can see everyone is complain about the new Proton car they own. They spoiling their own brand plus their line-up is outdated and not well accepted if compare to Perodua.

Proton and perodua are aiming at different market segments...  whistling.gif

Don't forget even at different market segments, Proton produce bigger and more stable car than Perodua at the same price. The Myvi is more popular than Savvy or Gen2 1.3, now the Kancil, Kenari, Kelisa or Viva also popular than Saga or Wira.

For the exterior and interior this new sedan is nothing just a Gen2 with longer body. No any major facelite like what Perodua done to their Kancil. Look at their new Waja facelite, what the different between the old Waja?

Just my 2 cent, apology for those who think I'm bashing Proton again.

thanks to proton, most of us can own a car!
"u pay one cent, u get one cent quality, u pay 10 cent, you get 10 cent quality" why compare with more expensive car?

Just compare it with Perodua car.

Or compare it with a taxless Honda City or Toyota Vios at 50k.


But i'm agree now their QC have increase. Just too late now.

Dewd... I was saying WITHOUT NAP/PROTON (Same tax on Proton and Honda), the price would be RM70k+. About 85k for a Civic (Currently RM113k OTR).
RM50k is cheap for a 1200kg sedan. Check overseas prices (OTR) for other 1200kg sedans if you dont believe.

You again?

Crap! Who judging a car categories by their body weight? doh.gif

U guys must be either blind or blindly bashing. Dont u see there difference on the interior of the persona? 1st, the saber sword handbrake is removed, so as the colors of the trim which is more acceptable. The power window buttons are on the driver's side and the seats has been changed to a more practical seats. The rear seats is still acceptable as long there is clearance for the head so the head wont hit the roof.

The only thing i found its similiar is the steering and the speedometer. Sharing similar components is a good thing just to save cost. Dont u think its more costly for the persona to have a different interior?

So that is what the difference between Gen2 and this new model beside it is a sedan and difference grill? Proton should also change the design of the bumper, front and rear lamp together. Overall the change is not enough to named the Persona as a new model, just a joke. Still the price tag is quite attractive. Just my 2 cent.

dude, are u nuts or what, the interior is now way better then gen2...
there is a number of improvement made to the interior....
those bugs on gen2 is fixed on this version and not to mention the additional new items....

they use back the rear lamp because they overestimated the number of gen2 that can be sold...
they need to commit a certain number to the parts supplier to ensure a particular discount level and thus the overload of gen2 tail lights (due to the overestimated gen2 sales figure)
so whats wrong with using back the same tail light... if they do redesigned it and then add the cost to the selling price? will u pay the extra?

ugly yeah but it still get things done right?
and this is one right that proton must do now...

Ok typical crazy Proton fansboy, thanks for your explanation. It just my opinion about this new model. But still I don't think Persona qualified as a new model claim by Proton.

Cheers
