Jeremy Clarkson and the rest of the Top Gear crew on the Proton Gen2. Alot of sarcasm! But it’s not really bashing the car, just talking about the promotion. Thanks to YouTube for the hosting.

wat is plotong thinkin….oh my god……..bikin malu rakyat malaysia!!!!!
gen2 deposit for only 1 pound??…they really look desperate issit??
y not do that in msia….
actually that dual control promotion is for driving school. It just that jeremy n co will always trying to bring out some humour out of anything. But it really show how desperate proton now even targerting a driving school market… beside than that £1 deposit. they even start a promotion tour for gen.2 around UK but sadly no one is really paying attention.
A previous Top Gear episode also made fun on the fact that with 1 pound, you can drive away with a KIA. The guys made absolute hoot that most university students will make a beeline to take the car out for a rave over the weekend and return the car on Monday.
But mind you, the credit checks in the UK is stringent. Your credit card is used a a guarantee…so-more, instalment is higher.
Nothing to be ashame off. The UK dealers work ona different model than Msia. They have greater flexibility to push sales .
may i ask? where do u guys get the videos from? is it P2P programmes or from web sites?
Nah, if you take whatever coming out from Jimmy Clarkson mouth as an expert view, thinking again .. this Clarkson guy poke fun on everything on earth ..
Guys… LISTEN completely to what is said in the video before slagging off Clarkson, Top Gear and all Brits… He says very clearly, "Its breathtaking! How much is it?" while looking at the car. Also, how many of you have seen a complete episode of Top Gear? If you haven't, do so.
Jeremy Clarkson doesn't talk rubbish as insinuated by some of you here. He does test drive many cars and in many of the episodes, he shows tips and tricks about different models, flaws that manufacturers do not tell you, how to improve mileage/performance using certain models and so on and so forth. In one episode, he showed how to squeeze as much mileage out of an Audi model on one full tank of gas. The mileage he got was better than the maximum rated mileage given by other so called "experts." There is of course, a portion in the show dedicated to some light humour and critique, as is seen in the video above.
Also, think about it… Even in our own country, people don't want to buy the Gen2. What more in a place like the UK, where they can get MUCH better cars for 8000 plus Pounds?
What's a big deal… we can get 3 months monthly instalment waived for Gen2 right?…
Mutant Tomato, I remembered those. ;) This episode was great actually what with the test on the off roaders. I tell you seeing those off-roaders (I have seen quite a few here) I think £20k spent on the buggies is a much better investment than £8 on a 'Gen.2'.
Dang, it is only 3 days after the broadcast. I blogged about this on Sunday thinking that it will take another two weeks before Malaysians heard about the new Top Gear/Proton thing. So fast one!
What a good joke! Hope proton Engineers will work harder to proof Malaysian products is really Good one day.
1000 failures means we are not far from Success. Don't give up!
Aiyaa… Where can I download the video clips? My line is not stable larh… Please… Help Me…!
if u r a BT regular, u will know where to look for a topgear show.
WiraOne,
Do u even know who is Jeremy Clarkson is???? He is the most feared man by car manufacturers. Even BMW people are afraid of him. He has tested a lot of cars and what he say is true. Although he luvs to add exegerated jokes in top gear, but that is his way to push car manufacturer to beef up and make better cars. And his comments doesnt need to be technical, thats tooo germannish. haha. His comments a mainly about how the car make the customer feel as a package. To us Malaysian a lotus developed handling might be enough, but in UK its a completely different story.
Clarkson and his other two presenters have different and sometimes constrasting views towards a car. If there are 3 cars shown, each of them would prefer different cars. Clarkson like fast high performance cars… all other cars are no good to him.
screw him – Clarkson
can i know watz this episode of top gear? i wan to download it.
