The design, performance and reliability of the car is not important on this matter but what is important here is all the people have their own car....hope they can work together with Proton and china automotive company to challenge famous automotive company to reduce the car price as cheaper as can with a good quality.

But at that price, no one will judge the quality over the exp. plus low quality junk. If P1 sell it at Rm 8.6k for BLM/entry level. Trust me, i'll salute them. As i know, they wont coz how exp. the price tag they still the cheapest in the market. India maybe its poor country, but at least TATA build it cheap for them. USD 2.5k to have a car. Not a bad deal compare with bike. Basher reporting to work.
