We advise our readers to read this at their own discretion. The rumor and photo are out that Proton will introduce their new Putra Neo model soon (see the photo below). We guess that it is about time Proton resurrects one of the favorite models among Malaysian car enthusiasts as it has been quite some time we last saw the Putra model on the road.
Hoax of not, you be the judge.
Well, a short history on our own Putra. The model started in 1995 and ended in 2000. However, it made a comeback briefly between 2004 and 2005 in a limited units re-launched by Proton. The reason why it’s favorite among car enthusiasts is because of the limited unit available, coupled with its stylish and sporty design that can easily fitted with customized body kits. This is something that we don’t see lately on some of the latest models by Proton.
And back to the reality.
Sometimes it got us wonder the move taken by Proton of not introducing a new replacement model of Putra (if this indeed turns out to be just a rumor), and we believe it can easily beat the existing Satria Neo heads-on. Until to this day, we still believe that Putra model is one of the best from the company.
What do you think?
Note: With the latest earning update of 3 straight quarters profit loss by Proton, this is really the time that Proton needs to re-think out of the box (where is the Lotus technology being utilized on, we wonder) and re-strategize the vision/mission of the company.
