wen to see s70 yesterday

size wise quite big

mcm vw vento mcm B-segment plus but ain't c-segment yet

disapointment
1. outside look big, inside mcm cramp. leg room not good for rear passenger mcm alemra/city.
2. what's with geely style of center console being so big and chunky? door card chunky, center console chunky, feel so cramped.
3. walk inside see every car and walk out, typical proton when got sellable car become lansi
4. rear mcm soso.....it flows with the other geely models look but its kinda meh

I would say it is B-segment plus
Just like VW Vento and Nissan Latio
Just a bit bigger but it is still B-segment
mcm ktard 2" or 2.1" still 2" laugh.gif

Why segment is important???

Price Price Price...

There was 2 options for this car really:

S50 = persona pricing = 55k max = b segment = proton itu jiwa rakyat.

S70 = preve pricing = 100k plus plus = C segment jadian = cut throat pricing la bang..

So in the end they shown their true colour - they hold the tongkat and whack the shit out the customers. So many bodoh bangang kat luar kena tipu.

If so hebat C segment at B pricing etc etc - open up the market. No more tongkat la sial.

I saw something on FB

Proton fan boys saying T&H gonna die with this price.
Infact T&H nothing to be afraid of as usual

Reliability = T&H wins
Brand = T&H wins
Interior finish and fitment = all about so so only
Engine technology = Proton wins coz got tebu
Spare parts = x70 owners still waiting? laugh.gif

But it is not the first time Proton C-segment with conti aspirations couldn't win the market.
On paper the Suprima looked to be able to challenged the Golf 1.4 but then what happened laugh.gif

TBH it’s not because potong had improved much, but it’s Toyoda been stagnant and regression far too much.

Fun fact: Tongsan car reviewer once said BMA platform is actually more inspired from Toyoda than say Volvo’s CMA platform.

Not upgrade even had to carryover old engine. Sell as better FC by reducing the hp/torque a bit

carry over technology saves on R&D cost
increase parts compatibility
better profits for brand owner
easier for OEM manufacturers to produce parts
malaysian get good rv and cheap parts laugh.gif

preve/suprima because of the punch cvt + cam tak pro engine... many negative reviews despite cheap.
This time game is diff... let's see the sales

on paper the cheapness and specs looks like a winner
