Proton = agent/resaler
This is just marketing info in the link
again, Unker recommend you go and read the BMA platform:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-segment_Mod...ecture_platformEven so,
1) Proton didn't mentioned/claim S70 is using BMA platform
2) Proton S70 is shorter wheelbase compare to EMGrand
3) information already provided in erlier tered and you can take a look
.
From your wiki link, .......
The B-segment Modular Architecture (BMA) is a global compact unibody automobile platform developed by Geely Auto. ...
.
The use of BMA allows for higher economies of scale, as all vehicles based on BMA will have a high rate of commonality with shared parts and components reaching 70 percent, reducing costs and time needed for component testing. With the use of BMA, vehicle development time may be shortened from over 36 months on average to just 18 to 24 months. .... = BMA only applies to Geely and Geely-based Proton cars wrt it's manufacturing process, ie Geely's BMA does not apply globally to the segmentation of every car.
Of course, what you define wrt the B and C segments may apply to the Proton S70 which is Geely-based. But when you compare the Proton S70 with other (non-Proton S70) car brands wrt their segments, your Geely definition cannot apply.
.
Does Geely/Proton manufacturing a C-segment sedan car like the Proton S70/Geely Emgrand on a compact B-segment (hatchback) unibody automobile platform, create instability or other chassis problems, especially in the long run.? Similarly for the M-segment Proton X50 and X70 SUV.
