This morning I saw a new Proton Persona on the road. It looks so 'nice' frm far and at first I thought it was a Proton Gen 2 with a new chrome piece of decoration attached on the rear boot cover. As I approached nearer, it doesn't look like Gen 2 anymore, but it was the new Proton Persona. Hooray...... Proton claimed to have launched 5 new models of its fleets and that consumers will have more choices of car to select. This is true up to certain extend.
Let's talk about thenew Persona. To me it looks like a Kereta Potong. First the front is EXACTLY the same as Gen 2. Second the rear is EXACTLY the same as Gen 2. Third, the interior is EXACTLY same as Gen 2 interior. Forth, the rear door is EXACTLY same as Gen 2 as well. By just a brief look I can spotted so many similar parts used on Persona, and is that what Proton claimed to have a completely new model?
Come on man you fool, do you think the consumers are stupid like you? Perhaps the produced too much of the parts for Gen 2 and the sales is not up to their expected target, so they are scratching their head off and think of a 'NEW' model and started mass production so all parts produced can be used up. Or is it a sub-standard products that they are trying to dispose off?
When foreign car manufacturers said a new model is launch, at least the look by itself can be differentiated. For example, can you guys differentiate a Vios and Altis? Are Honda City EXACTLY same ike a Civic? Is Nissan Latioseen any similarity with Sentra? 'NO' is the answer and I think there will only be Proton that you can use similar visible parts for 2 different models.
Another factor, Proton Persona looks like a Kereta Potong. It seems like using Gen 2 head and tail, couple with some etra piece of metal joining both sides, so it looks a little bit different from one another. Our government said Kereta Potong is illegal in Malaysia, and there is no way such car can be approved to drive on road. But yet again, we found out that Malaysia really BOLEH. Other manufacturers cannot sell Kereta Potong, the exception is Proton can because they are PRODUCT OF MALAYSIA.
Malaysia Boleh! Proton Boleh! Everything boleh so long you are Product of Malaysia!
Damn proud of you guys!

to be fair, the rear and interior do not exactly look like gen2, but they are quite similar.
they should have called it the gen2 sedan instead.
already fail-up with proton since long long time ago. just the matter of time to see when proton declare to quit.
J'ai l'intention de commencer site Web où les gens peuvent poster des projets et acheter projets. Pensez-vous que c'est une bonne idée?
