Persona: Gen2 with a but...(pun intended)

…a loose butt to be exact.

The Gen2 possesses a very innovative design. Nothing else in its class segment looks as sporty. The bodywork is handsome and sexy all in one go. Its tight ass should be left alone. But no…Proton just had to make mistakes. They added a loose ass to Gen2 and call it Persona.

Proton quotes in its print advert: “The idea was simple – to create a new sedan that would be the pride and joy of Malaysians. How we went from there would be anything but easy.”

Anything but easy? How difficult can it be to just add more boot space without revising the exterior design at all?

The print advert ends with: “At last, our car for the people is realized. It wasn’t easy. But it was worth it. After months of hard work and dedication, the Persona can be the pride and joy of every family”

Right, and I bet the poor Gen2 will end up like the pathetic Wira – add a longer tailgate and call it Aeroback; minus 2 doors and call it Satria; put back the sedan boot, use the Satria’s taillight and call it Putra; or replace the rear half with a pick-up bed and call it Arena.

But from the front, they all look the same.
