2010 Proton Savvy

2010 Proton Savvy design review

​            Another of those Malaysian car companies comes the 2010 Proton Savvy.  Now last year we saw the Savvy’s bigger brother the Satria RS make some good ground on the crowd.  But for this year we would have to say that some features with this car need to be changed.  The best point of this car is that it looks like it is supposing to be a sub-compact rally car, or a pocket rocket.  It may not be the 

most appealing little car, but it still looks fun to drive.  And when it comes to this segment, if you look like fun, you get some good numbers.  Of course, with that do come some problems, like the poor execution of the side windows, which are not all to blame, since the car does have a poor bodyline, which runs all the way around the car.  To beat this problem Proton should lift the line a bit, as it progresses to the rear of the car, and make the line disappear into the rear light.  Now the only other problem with this car, is the lack of some edges.  There seems to be more emphasis on curves, then edges, this makes the car look more like a bubble rather than the fast-flying rally car it should be.
