Proton Neo


At last, I've been waiting for two long years to see Proton's SRM model roll out. It is said that the name would be Proton Neo. Funky name or fuzzy is my lecturer would to say it. Tomorrow the 16th of June is confirmed as the launch date. Make yourself available to witness sometime nice produced by Proton. To those who intend to purchase a car, consider this. Rumour have it that the 1.3 version will be priced at RM43,ooo while the 1.6 version at RM55,ooo. I hope for that price, they come standard with ABS and Airbags and hopefully EBD as optional. The meter console looks cool with fresh ideas from Proton through the usage of blue lightings.The 1.6 version uses 195/50R 16" tyres while 195/55R 15" (similar to Waja's) is fitted onto the 1.3 version. Both are Campro engines without cam profiling. Choise of colours are shown here.

The gear knob looks very sporty. On second thought, they look like the red ones in the Wira SE, don't they? Maybe not, it looks better with the alluminium finishing but I hope it doesn't feel plasticky. It is confirmed that the bling bling wheels will be used.

Final look at the rear end of the car. Click here to see more.
