Dont fight about the price, If u want to get a cheap good car in between RM30k without NAP u will get a Suzuki swift! Dont believe? 

SUZUKI Swift 1.5(A) Car 1490 RM29,057 

So if u got the money to buy Saga or Suzuki swift 1.5(a) which 1 u buy? This is boleh land! This is the Land of Proton! So no other cheaper cars can be sell under itâ€™s nose! U have to live wif it!â€¦ 

Even VW Polo 1.6 car 1568 RM28,624â€¦ Do u felt our car is price well?

=======================================

littlefire85, dont be cruel to the car salesman. if they sell cars with that &quot;custom price&quot;, they cannot afford to hire salesman. no profit to the company at all. they best price example should be taken from langkawi car price. be more logical and relevent. not the &quot;manufacture car cost&quot;+&quot;shipped to malaysia cost&quot;. that is not the final price. 

even if u live in japan, u wont see any new suzuki swift with that price. even they mark up the price about 10%-30% (from budget to premium car) before sell it to customer.</description>

		<description>LittleFire85 the price of the entry level VW Polo (1.2 44 kW) in Germany is EUR11,900 (RM57,497 at today rate)

http://www.volkswagen.de/vwcms_publish/vwcms/master_public/virtualmaster/de3/beratungundkauf/neuwagen/preisfinder.html?ModelType=polo

I would like to know in which country you can get a VW Polo 1.6 for RM28,624. At this price it must be a DIY kit :)</description>

		<description>Hey guys anybody watch the BLM at the curve yesterday?i thought paultan say starting form today?
Many people over there were suprised and took some pictures using their phone camera
price is starting with 31,500 to 39,998
Paul is correct they really market it using 3 main factors

-Strong rigidity
-IAFM
_Comfortable size interior</description>

		<description>Prem.. most of them are toyota, nissan or honda salesman.. you dont had to worry about them.. they just can&#039;t accept proton can give rakyat a cheap and little bit good car. If proton close shop.. they can sell their car many more.. even can overprice it. sadly.. proton gong better nad better now.. none of them happy with this. 

I think, it&#039;s already told hudreds of time other car doing but job. but they just blind.. Even this BLM they can declare a savvy but job!.. ROTFL!.. None of BLM had savvy look.. The front, the back, the but, the side.. NONE!.. 

Maybe theire eyesight had big problem.. they must do eye surgery as fast as the can.. else.. they will really had blind eye forever...</description>

		<description>bigfish,

why when it comes to proton,u turn out to be such an evil person??

u and ur normal comment...buttjob..is it because u have nothing else to say besides that or r that the only thing u can say now because the price is the lowest u can get,specs are not bad too..dont try too hard man..proton never told you doing a butt job is hard??did they??i dont think so..every know its a butt job,similar to vios and city..and they do lauch and market it as a new model...did they mention a butt job yaris named vios is coming to town??no..they dont..because its a new car..that how public look at it...

and no exact dateline was given and proton never mention any delay yet...so why such a speculation??must there be any fault parts or component for they delay??they still can launch it the rectify the problem...and pre lauch campaign is very important...since u are the smartest guy here..logic will tell you that all eager buyer will not buy cars on end of november and december...because it will later sell as  2007 model..so waiting for a 2008 model will be the best decision..so this pre lauch campaign will attract all these people...pre launch is nothing new in car industry...most car makers preview their cars as concep cars years before it becomes production version..so u think its a waste of money and effort??come on man..there must be a reason for all that...i think you are smart enough to know that...

and for the some who say proton is wasting fuel money for the road trip they planned..hahaha...come on...that was really too silly...find a better reason to bash proton...because toyota did da same...they put a  white clay model of vios in the truck and drove it around the country...and they are one of the leading green vechicle producer...</description>

		<description>ah liew, i think you need to rub your eyes a little, actually make that a lot. the personas interior is at least 50% new from the gen.2

and if you cant tell, the persona is in fact the sedan version of the gen2(which btw is a hatchback).  

if bmw launches a 3 series, then a 3 series coupe, then a 3 series touring.. why dont you criticise that? isnt it essentially just the same car? lengthened, shortened, less doors,moredoors..etc. etc? and according to the many &#039;experts&#039; who post here, a &quot;very easy job to do&quot;.

i think you need to be a little more open minded.  or at least criticise something that needs criticising.</description>

		<description>Topgunthang,

&quot;just stage a public crash demonstration against a Vios. head on. a few just to achieve a consistant results using unmoded test drive vehicle or fresh out of the factory.&quot;

i&#039;m sorry to say this, but somehow, your &quot;crash&quot; testing suggestion isn&#039;t very scientific. what does crashing 2 cars head-on supposed to tell you?  if i crashed a volvo against an abrams tank, does it mean its unsafe?

Btw, all car manufacturers have big launches for new significant car models.. so why is it that when proton launches a new model, you are only full of criticism&gt;?</description>

		<description>Why do you have to drive and catch the trailers? They are going to stop at the destinations listed in the table for you to see. 

There is no catching needed to be done!</description>

Maxtek,
Can you suggest how would you do it? hmmm how did NAZA, Peugeot, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, BMW, Nissan etc did it? They did nothing. NO effort!!! Give Proton a chance. Iâ€™m sure it will be in the showroom soon. You will be able to test drive it, unlike mercedes, audi, mazda, mitsubishi etc (they never offered me and when asked they reluctantly gave me a chance), just wait. At least it got your attention!!!

=============================================

Well, that&#039;s the point isn&#039;t it? They have better sales than Proton (put aside the price advantage Proton gets). The others don&#039;t put their cars in trailers and boxes for peeks. They just put them on platters and serve &#039;em to them customers. 

For me, if I was Syed Zainal, I&#039;ll keep it quiet at the first place preventing leaks all around (why is there a REGISTERED BLM undisguised running around in KL?!), and keep info on new cars down (so it&#039;ll be a surprise). 

When launched, customers will think...
&quot;Eh, this car good ah! I sure wan one!&quot;

Surprise a customer in a proper AIR-CONDITIONED showroom, not ask them to drive along highways to catch up with trailers.</description>

		<description>no need any launch campaign/performance sneek peeks etc. i coudlnt give a damn about it. 


just stage a public crash demonstration against a Vios. head on. a few just to achieve a consistant results using unmoded test drive vehicle or fresh out of the factory. 
no need to shout how strong or safe it is. just show it. 


minister or someone important to officially bless the car is useless. look what happened to the con job by the Hydroxene dynamic duo tag team professors. pulled a con job in front of the nation and the world.</description>

		<description>big fish, as usual,. you are full of speculation. its just a timeline. if you proton planned to launch the car on the 11th, this pre launch would have happened in december.  but then again, if this pre launch happened in december, you would probably have speculated that its &quot;camouflage&quot; and the car is late due to â€œEOT - extension of timeâ€(as you speculated) anyways. and it was probably supposed to be launched in december 20 or something.

there is just no pleasing you no matter what.

btw, maybe someone should do a photoshop job or something on the BLM spyshots.. just try cutting off the tail and you will notice that the car does not look anything at all like a savvy. i&#039;ve tried it already.. in fact, just use your hands to cover up the tail.  

but then again, its so easy to design cars, because we have super ka-zillion power computers.. so us humans are just monkeys and the computers today do all the work?  

bigfish, a computer is just a tool no matter how powerful, without a monkey like us, it does nothing intelligent whatsoever.</description>

When said â€œbutt jobâ€ to BLM, some supporter just â€œupsetâ€! 

By â€œlayman standardâ€ like me, the most I can do to my car is change tyre. This is because I am consumers, and my comment is occasionally can be classified as â€œcustomer feedbackâ€! (or may be bashing).

But by world class car manufacturing standard, to say doing â€œbutt jobâ€ is difficult, then better close shop, donâ€™t built the car. Today super computer â€œcalculation is zillion speedâ€!
====================

I&#039;m not a proton supporter, but ain&#039;t all of us wants to see Proton improve. world class car manufacturing standard? Well,  u can&#039;t compare proton with other establish carmakers despite P1 tanjung malim plant is modern. Its the R&amp;D capacity and technological expertise which is lacking, and at least P1 is able to come out with a product which Syed Zainal mentioned as for the right market, at the right time.</description>

		<description>Actuall this pre-launch campaign or the protocol for Prime Minister or other minister to &quot;rasmi&quot; or &quot;blessing&quot; th enew model is kinda unnecessary! 

Just employ singer or other entertainment performance for the launch of this car. And since most of the decision to buy car is make by man, so the most important &quot;accesories&quot; is beautiful sexy girls (actually many of the new model are lack of attractiveness) to stand beside the car to attract man attention and influence them to buy. As normal, many manufacturers all over the world for many type of product use this tactic, and untill today it is still effective.

Just imaging any international car motorshow without girls, it is &quot;doom&quot;!</description>
