Why? Plotong already licensed the 1.5 Turbocharged DCT engine from Geely/Bolvo. Might as well use that.

Non-ethical. You assume the corresponding S-series(Sedan) of X70(X-over SUV) to be based on the same X70 C segment platform. Instead is based on BMA platform. Proton actually did it before with old Persona, sell C segment car at B segment price, top spec only 60k compared to smaller Honda City top spec 90k. But old Persona was genuine C segment at the time, wheelbase is 2600mm compared to City 2450mm.

Who cares about the underlying platform when car manufacturers are the ones that classifies which car goes into which segment.

Also the Emgrand, the donor car for the S70 IS classified as a C-Segment car. Proton would have to follow suit as well.

Sebab in that price range, the alternative are Honda and Toyota using CVT/NA engine with lower power.

For sedan, no way i gonna choose proton over Jap Brand....
Just like at that price, we wouldnt buy Proton in UK. Why buy it here?
*
I don't understand. What do you mean Proton in the UK?
Right now they are priced against the locally assembled City and Vios, which in terms of value for money, the S70 is better.

in the past, inspira also price against locally assembled city and vios. what is the reason it did not perform so well compare to S70? coz no hype building from geely?
*
I dunno. I was still a student when Insapla was launched. But from what I heard is that they have 2 c segment models (Insapla and Preve) both eating each other's sale.

Technology comes with price today is good we dunno 7-8 years later how it gonna be .How much it cost if the sensor,ADAS or ICC system spoil liao after warranty.If after 7-8 years can afford  change another new car won t be a problem but those cannot afford might be a big problem.

If like that, wait for this, wait for that, what if this, what if that, then don't buy car la. Easy
