wAntAn productions: Satria and Tiara replacement models

In case you haven't yet found these pictures... they are those of Proton's newest models. The SRM (Satria Replacement Model) in the first 5 pictures should be out before the end of the year whilst the TRM (Tiara Replacement Model) should be out early next year.

Aren't they good looking cars? I think the SRM is a really hot looking car. However I'll prefer to keep my enthutiasm curbed. After all IT IS A PROTON! While it may look good the materials used to make the car will probably be sub standard and furnished with a toy plastic interior. Sigh...

I still very much think the Picanto is a better car.

a golden opinion from Anonymous: These cars looks great. Hope they produce in an mass soon... it is too long waiting.... especially the TRM; 7:49 AM
a golden opinion from David: Don't see much improvement actually. Old Satria looks better. Just like old Wira and old Iswara. Oh well, at least Tiara's getting an upgrade. :); 4:09 PM
a golden opinion from Anonymous: Please come out with the models soon..... like the look of these new protons especially TRM.; 3:15 PM
a golden opinion from Anonymous: i heard that TRM use triptronix gear box, renault engine 1.2CC.. and the price less than RM40000; 10:40 AM
a golden opinion from Anonymous: Probably they will now use volkswagen engines from VW Polo or VW Lupo. I see the future Perdana with VW Passat's platform or Audi A4.; 10:47 AM
a golden opinion from wyejon: TRM to be fitted with TipTronic gearbox? hmmm... doubtful. If the car costs more than RM40k I doubt anyone would buy it. In fact if it's not in the high RM20k to low RM30k range it's damn overpriced!; 11:22 PM
a golden opinion from Anonymous: Wow! I think it's well done to Proton first. However the same question that most M'sians ask prevails......."Is the qualitiy of any good", "is there any problem with Proton Cars?".; 9:07 PM
a golden opinion from Anonymous: Actually when the model will be launched? Is Proton having problem to set price?; 11:41 AM
a golden opinion from Anonymous: srm in june/july & trm in feb/mar; 3:59 PM
a golden opinion from Sazli bin abdullah: I've a realiable source that the SRM is using 2.0 CAMpro engine. Also it seems that they are developing the 2.0 CAMpro with turbo for the motorsport.; 10:43 AM
a golden opinion from Anonymous: A very reliable source of mine has personally tested the SRM. It is using the latest 2 litre CAMPRO engine with VW's innovative DSG gearbox.

Built quality for upcoming protons will be much much better and comparable to VW's. Heard that VW has insisted that they control quality.; 10:47 AM
a golden opinion from wyejon: I guess you must be referring to something akin to the Satri Gti version of the SRM. Sounds cool though. Hope they don't fudge it up. I'm gonna do a Google for DSG :); 1:29 PM
a golden opinion from wyejon: Volkswagen DSG... wow!; 1:36 PM
a golden opinion from Anonymous: I must have the SRM.......; 11:13 AM
a golden opinion from Anonymous: Read in one UK magazine that the WAJA has better ride and handling that the previous Golf, now I know why VW wants a piece of proton.; 12:12 AM
