Proton Puts Up New Sedan Teaser!!

[JtuneD]

Proton has started putting up a teaser promotion for it’s new sedan on it’s website. We call it the GEN2 Sedan, however it looks like the new Proton sedan might most likely be called something else altogether.

There’s not much information there really, other than a shadowy outline of the car which we’ve seen already in all the spyshots so far. However, if you click on the booking link, you’ll be able to see a list of colours available for the new car - Blueberry Tea, Iridescent White, Light Gold, Metal Grey, Solid Red, Solid White and Tranquility Black. You can book the car for a RM500 booking fee.

UPDATE: The booking pagenow carries price information for the car.
Prices:
Proton New Sedan 1.6 HL (M) AT - RM 55,800.00
Proton New Sedan 1.6 ML (M) AT - RM 52,800.00
Proton New Sedan 1.6 ML (M) MT - RM 49,800.00
Proton New Sedan 1.6 BL (M) AT - RM 48,800.00
Proton New Sedan 1.6 BL (M) MT - RM 45,800.00
Proton New Sedan 1.6 BL (S) AT - RM 48,350.00
Proton New Sedan 1.6 BL (S) MT - RM 45,350.00
(M) - Metallic Paint, (S) - Solid Paint

Model range:
BL - 4 power windows, CD player and basic features.
ML - all BL features with additional alloy rims, foldable rear seats, MP3 player and electric door mirror.
HL - all ML features with additional dual airbags, ABS, EBD and standard Captor alarm.

All variants of the car will include an extended warranty package which provides warranty support and coverage for up to five years. The financing package for this car carries an interest rate of 4.1%. Delivery time from booking is approximately 4 to 6 weeks, and status of delivery lead-time will be communicated regularly.

The teaser page now has a preview of each model’s specifications and a simple FAQ. The FAQ states that the booking fee is transferable to another Proton car if the car has not been delivered yet. It also pegs the official launch date at 15th August 2007, so we’ll just have to wonder what the name of this new car will be until then. But everything seems to indicate it will not be called a GEN2 Sedan.
All of the information on this page are collected from Proton Edar’s teaser page and booking page for the new Proton Sedan.

anyway, if u all notice in the TV advert, the front grill is reminiscent to new Honda Civic. called the floating grille.

gen2 hatch has Vios-like grille, sedan one similar to honda.

erm, any idea what could be the name of Proton's sedan?

Proton Gen2 LMSV, perhaps?

the cars are already in the Shah Alam proton showroom there... just take a walk at the car parks, u'll bump into one.... saw the sedan,... kinda sucks...

i don't understand why the loan interest is 4%... my friend just bought a used avanza also 4%.

Proton car loan usually comes with higher loan interest because

1. Foreign Car manufacturer willing to absorb certain level of interest to push for better sales.

2. Proton/Perodua car loan is the highest NPL compare with others car maker, due to the reason that most Proton/Perodua car loan taker is not good customer (not offend, but it's a real statistic). So bank increase the interest rate for Proton/Perodua to protect Bank's interest.

Which is why you can buy Honda with 1.74%, but no Proton and Perodua.

no matter u like it or not,what BS said is true.i've seen a lot of ppl with
financial problem/unstable still insisting on buying cars w/o thinking of the
outcome if they stuck with the installment.
