A partially-camo'd Proton Suprima S has been spotted on a trailer at the Pedas Linggi exit on the PLUS highway - we thank Asraf Hadzwan for the pics.

The car wears the same capped steel wheels as the cheapest turbocharged Exora - the RM69k Exora Bold Standard. So could this be a Standard variant of the Suprima S to join the existing Executive, Premium and Super Premium variants?

We spotted a Suprima S equipped with a six-speed manual 'box some time back, but there has been no follow-up on that since, so it could be for overseas markets only. Still, here's hoping - a 1.6 CFE turbo-6MT pairing would be quite nice.

The Exora Bold Standard does without the reverse sensors, Bluetooth, DVD, steering wheel buttons, cruise control, auto-fold wing mirrors and fog lamps offered on higher-spec variants, although the ABS, EBD, dual airbags and all-round disc brakes stayed put.

We can see the Suprima S here retains its tailgate spoiler. Since the Exora Bold Standard is RM10k cheaper than the next rung up, will the same happen here?
