Perhaps if proton sell it with idea like what kangoo did, for business, with cheaper price, then it can attract people. But cannot help if the look itself is such a turn off. I heard its better than kenari. No royalties paid to mitsu, then why on earth its priced more than kenari.

I would be thankful that its Volks that are willing putting this offer on the table instead of some Mickey Mouse manufacturer from China. Digressing. Volks owns Audi (which owns Lamborghini), Bentley Motors and Bugatti, among others. So just imagine the sort of techology and R&D that is to be had! The reason why Volks is selling Seat is because the latter has become "unprofitable". In the event if Proton does become 'unprofitable' who else does Proton have to blame but themselves? Its like you growing a fruit tree. You cut off the branches that aren't producing any fruit and divert all your resources to the ones that are instead of wasting them on the dead branch. At the end of the day, to me Proton has no choice but to merge because i'm sure as hell that Proton can't make it on their own.

Porsche is buying a 20 per cent stake in Volkswagen in a move designed to safeguard Europe’s largest car manufacturer against a hostile takeover. Wonder what the repercussions are towards VW plans in Malaysia Proton, VW and Porsche ..............What a mess? Forget Proton!!!!

So why not? Proton , as of today , Inhales Vigorously (ie : Sucks). They are wrong right from the beginning to go R3. Why race when you can't go from A to B without problems?
