What if Neo was a 4 dr...

[kennyyeoh]

hey ppl...

just a burst of idea for one of my favourite proton... well the neo of course... it has most of the right curves at all the right places... and for that i congratulate the designer for that.. but whats with the 2 door segment only thing? why limit the potential of this car, why dont proton try to extend the wheelbase, make a sedan/sportback/sport 4dr hatch and make this car accesible for families in malaysia.

as a malaysian, one thing i know for sure is the failure of 2dr cars.. it just doesnt appeal to the masses, as much as anybody would like to own a 2dr sport, they wont. all because of the no 2nd hand value for 2dr cars thing.

so here's a piece i did out of curiosity.. partial sedan tail with extended wheelbase, just wanting to know if such car can appeal to malaysian... i know it fairs well with me, id definately get one if it exist... superb everyday driver then..

just my personal opinion tho... thanks for your time ppl..

[GABrally]

i'll buy if its a 4 door car. y? coz can look like scooby version 10!!!!

 

[paragon35]

try to put 1.8 or 2.o,dats will be damn excellent...just dun limit to 1.6 only..

 

[wanjpun]

dude, awesome kudos 4 thinkin of something that not much people would think, making a neo into a 4 door, LOL if d right mods and right designs in i think i would appeal to those car enthusiast that want somethin different. very original dude again kudos..

 

[tofu_manic]

looking good! any rear end shots?

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

"putra" style would be awesome....

 

[arturo]

kenny...remember to patent yr designs b4 sending to proton....dun make them goyang kaki n untung off yr ideas...

i oso commented on something that would make it even more unique and appeal more to the young...suicide doors with hidden rear door handles...make it a 2+2 n move the rear door opening to the corner of the wheel arch. makes it look more clean.

 

[tofu_manic]

^ agreed, less cluttered look with suicide doors

to be honest the only part i didnt really fancy was where the rear door cut across the rear fender

now i look at it, from this angle the rear has hints of an audi TT

 

[arturo]

tofu...thats y i oso sugested to put the rear opening to the corner of the wheel arch...that way cant see the opening...if the r top side opening also moved to the glass n make it a frameless rear door, will make it look even more like a 2+2...

 

[Mrnazmi]

It would be awesome if they install a sunroof to this 4 door Neo..hehe!

 

[arturo]

wah sunroof? will add to cost lar. wait become too expensive...make it an optional accessory la then ok....

 

[DanzEterna]

damn!! i like yr design bro....can do 1 for perdana ah? a newer facelift...

 

[tofu_manic]

tofu...thats y i oso sugested to put the rear opening to the corner of the wheel arch...that way cant see the opening...if the r top side opening also moved to the glass n make it a frameless rear door, will make it look even more like a 2+2...

yap yap agreed, that will make it look hotter especially with the 2 long front doors, scissor-doors anyone?

 

[kennyyeoh]

hahhah, suicide door bro.. thatll be a cost most wont be able to bear..i think i will post a hella lot of problems as were not familiar with those yet, tho a good idea for limited editions or higher priced versions.

I'd like very much for proton to make a model that looks like this, well even if they choose the easy way out... (Direct copy) then it be evident my design works for them too.. i have met up with Dato Nadzmi on several occasions, probably if i get to see him again next time id show him this thread to show how the market response towards a car like this..

thanks again

Looks great for a Proton!

If they kept the fierce lines and general feel of your pic, I think it'd make a hot best selling local car!

And someone said that ZTH was a poor baseline for comparison. Obviously he didn't know there were others in ZTH that are way better than him. Actually everyone in ZTH is better than him.

Rear section added..

 

[sgarrista]

bro.... please laa... patent ur design and send it to proton, god, i want this, is there anyone here can ask proton design engineer to look at this??

 

[arturo]

kenny...a little too stubby...dont wanna go the way of the old city do we? another idea would be to make have sort of like a focus rear butt...long n shallow but i think a lot of ppl prefer a butt to mount the ever popular spoiler

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

u shud try same basic size from gen2 boot design but implementing neo rear light cluster....

 

[raymo26]

I'll buy it if it comes out in Malaysia...

 

[sKiMo]

neo owner here... wow.. great design kenny.. i'd definitely buy that car

 

[boost_defi]

damn nice...will also get one..
the design can compete with audi a3..

 

[LuKa]

the neo was to be a replacement for the satria models... thats y it is in a hatchback design...

yr design is impressive to look at since u retain some of the neo distinct head lights n tailights features... however designing exterior look to match with good interior ergonomics are not as easy... the more sportier n sharper curvy body will result in terible view space n also room space... anyways.. good designing... keep it up..
