Unlike other products from Proton Design, which are not many, Neo Symphony and Neo Desire, Envy does not get much attention it deserved. It’s shadowed by the Proton Persona in the original form itself, with a lot of improvement over its hatchback sibling, gen.2 and other models, there’s too much to talk about. Maybe. I first heard about Proton Persona Envy in one forum which I can’t remember, with only one picture attached. It looked so good that make me want to see by myself. That was about two weeks ago. Only today I had the chance to go to Proton COE (Center of Excellence) and witness the beauty by my own eyes. Sadly, I forgot to bring the camera along, so the pictures below taken using my camera phone only. Persona Envy just a concept to show how you can turn your Persona into nice and unique Proton car. However, this could be the only one Persona Envy that Proton ever built, but the idea is just to show how big the potential is. The thing with Proton is, they seldom market what they can sell. Of course they are not selling the envy, but for sure ah-beng out there will drool over Persona when they see Envy. One way of selling as well. At the parking lot, there’s few Limited Edition Savvy and Neo as well, ever heard about it? I bet you not.

The LED rear light. When asked the sales person about the availability of the lights to public, she answered me this, “No, we don’t have that in any model, You just have to go to Brothers shop. It cost about RM1,000.00 per pair”, which made me wonder, did Proton Design bought there as well? I didn’t asked the lady though.

For the latest Proton BLM Pictures, Read this entry: Proton BLM Clay Model

Proton just launched their new family members, Proton Persona, or simply Gen 2 Sedan. I’m not going to write any review about it as paultan and unker Chip already did a very good job at it. Unker Chip from autoworld is purely article, no direct comment associated with his article except in the infamous autoworld forum. However, Paultan is normal blog, with hundreds of comments, reading the comments from top to the bottom of the page is very time consuming. Reading the comments is like reading a different genres of books at the same time, some of them very serious some of them very comical. I extracted some of the comments here, you may add yours…

The comments originates from Paultan review.

Dogster - now you win title of the most stupid person to post! Of course I have seen the picture you fool else why would I post.

I urge you to go look at the picture yourself, now, go on, then come back and tell me what those two gauges are!

The one on the left has a pic of a petrol pump with markings 0, 1/2 and 1/1 where as the one on the right has a pic of a thermometer with markings 60, 90, 120 degress celcius.

Now, any person with one iota of a brain would sum up that one gauge is for fuel and one is for water coolant temp - I will let you guess which one!

Dogster call mattyboy stupid, mattyboy call Dogster stupid, apparently they are referring to different pictures and definitely mattyboy didn’t look at the picture. The picture in question is this:
