21 tahun kemudian, Proton Waja satu rahmat atau musibah?

Sedar tak sedar, sudah 21 tahun semenjak Proton Waja dilancarkan. Pada tahun 2000, Proton baru saja memasuki tahun ke-15 dalam produksi otomotif. Pada masa itu, mereka mendominasi pasaran kereta Malaysia sebahagiannya kerana ada undang-undang yang melindungi pembuat kereta nasional daripada pesaing-pesaing luar negara. Pada awalnya, semua barisan kereta Proton terdiri daripada kereta-kereta Mitsubishi dan sebuah Citroen yang ditanda-namakan semula. Saga dan Iswara dibawa bersama sejak 1985 denga

20 years later, is the Proton Waja a dream or a nightmare?

It has been 20 years since the Proton Waja was launched. In 2000, Proton was just entering its 15th year of automotive production and during those years, they were dominating the Malaysian car market thanks to the laws that protect the national carmaker from imported rivals. At this point, all of Proton’s line-up consisted of rebadged Mitsubishis and a single rebadged Citroen. The Saga/Iswara had been chugging along since 1985 with old but reliable technology and the Wira consistently topped sal

Proton had always been known for its saloon cars that were popular with Malaysian families. The Proton Saga, Wira, Waja, Perdana, and Preve are some to name.

Including the X50 and X70, several other names have been registered too like the C50 and S50. The C50 is probably reserved for a hatchback model while the

假想图:Proton S50 C级轿车,Preve和Waja的继承者?

Proton一直以其轿车而闻名,它们深受马来西亚家庭用户的欢迎,像Proton Saga、Wira、Waja、Perdana和Preve等都是很好的例子。而在这些轿车中,野心最大的当属Proton Preve了,它被称为Proton的首款全球车型。 而在Proton和吉利合作之后,已经有好几款未来的车型注册了商标。除了X50和X70之外,还有其它的名字也被注册了,其中就包括C50和S50。C50很可能会用到掀背车型上,而S50则可能是为轿车车型准备的。 在几乎将每一款吉利车型都进行Proton化渲染之后,Theophilus Chin又决定畅想一下新一代挂着“Proton S50”名号的Proton Preve / Proton Waja。我们必须承认,它看起来和吉利缤瑞十分相似。 Proton Waja和Proton Preve这两款车曾经都是Proton寄予了厚望的C级轿车,但最终它们都在没有后继者的情况下停产了。鉴于S50这个名字已经注册了商标,Proton推出新的C级轿车或许将会成为现实。 这张假想图实际上是基于Ford Focus轿车版渲染的,而车头则来源于Proton X5

Sebut saja Proton, memang kerjasama jenama itu dengan Mitsubishi suatu masa dahulu tidak boleh dilupakan, bermula daripada Proton Saga 1985 sehinggalah Proton Inspira 2014. Sepertimana anda tahu, Proton mengambil asas platform Mitsubishi yang lama seperti Lancer, Eterna, Mirage, dan Galant sebelum merombak model-model ini menjadi model seperti Saga, Wira, Satria, Putra dan sebagainya. Oleh itu, maka tak hairanlah banyak pemilik Proton menukar enjin asal kereta mereka ke model yang lagi berkuasa.

Pros and Cons: Proton Persona – Punchy handling, punched out CVT

The Proton Persona might be one of the most exciting-handling cars on a budget. No, I’m serious and this is coming from someone who has very mixed feelings on the Exora. The Persona might be one of those cars that would look great as a sleeper and it even comes with a manual, if you’re the sort who prefers a traditional, engaging drive at the expense of creature comforts. But enough reminiscing over the beauty (and sometimes left leg aching pain) of a manual, most people these days would rather
