Proton:

MSX 2007 model
Status: Rumor
The MSX will be one of the first original products for this Malaysian
company, as well as its first ever SUV/crossover thingy.Proton MSX (code name) is using CamPro V6 engine with 2.++cc engine.

Putra 2008 model

Status: Rumor
The last Proton Putra (called simply Coupe in export markets due to the
horrible name) was just a badge-engineered version of the Mitsubishi
Lancer 2-door model that was sold until 1998. The Proton version, however,
has used this outdated design up until the present. The next Putra will
also be a badge-engineered version of another car: the Lotus Elise. While
this seems highly unlikely, the fact is that Proton bought Lotus way back
in 1996 and retains full ownership of the sports car company. Thuis ought
to do wonders for Proton's image.

Satria 2006 model, July 2005 debut

Status: Spied
Proton replaces the Satria, a rebadged version of the previous-generation
Mitsubishi Colt, with a new car, designed in-house. It has quite a
resemblance to the Rover 25. A GTi model will also be available, with a
turbo and suspension tuned by Lotus.

Tiara 2006 model

Status: Spied
The current Tiara is just the French Citroen AX, which has been out of
production for years, in a slightly reskinned body. This is finally
replaced with an original and fairly modern product by the Malaysian
company. It may have the ridiculous name of "Sassy."

Proton don't have too many chances left to make things right. Patience of the people and everyone else really is wearing thin. They'd better put their lifes into building QUALITY products now or live with the tag of makers of cheaply built cars forever.

IMHO, the best solution now is to recycle the cars left at glenmarie as scrap metal.

Just went by that area today, and I thought I was in the movie Proton Gentu : Attack of the clones.

orange and blue gentu clones...all wearing the campro badge...parked there.
Heck, they were parked there long enough for the grass/bush to grow under the car.

Anybody knows that place? Next to the audi hangar.
