Bravo again P1 !!

Pls note, there is no such thing as 300% tax anymore. The Suzuki swift is almost the same price in malaysia compared to australia. Small cars like the latio, vios/yaris and jazz are about 20% more expensive in malaysia compared to first world markets once OTR costs are included.

The govt will have to abolish the unfair tax policies designed to shield the local car industry eventually. With AFTA specifying a 5% import tariff, a city/yaris would still cost upwards of RM60k OTR excluding insurance.

The New Saga is only RM40k at it’s highest trim!

Kudos to proton. Time will tell if their QC has really improved.

About the sales figure, no doubt everyone knows that the main reason behind these numbers. But if they so good, pls consider lift up the high import tax to create healthy market. For anyone had the mind [Please give them time], 20 years++, enough yet ? or another 50 years ? Pointless, at the same time there’s AP.

Come on, to support local suppliers ? is this open for every citizen in malaysia ? no doubts, you know i know. Pls don;t defend just because you like it, defend with facts.

On another story, cheers to Proton with 23k booking.

–anyway, i don’t totally agree with u. there always hv pro and cons. ever wonder why so much people working oversea and asked why the govn mentioned we are professional supplier? if its so tough out there, why a lot don’t want to come back? why there’s a time reasonly govn invited those who left to consider to come back or hv second home overhere? i don’t understand why people been asked to leave just because complained about car selling overhere is expensive. maybe that fellow is incompetent somehow……..
but then we can’t claim that we are forced to buy certain things, this i agree…

prrrfthh P2 wudnt do so.. coz P2 is assembler not a car maker..
somemore Daihatsu got no sedan car mahh..

–hahahaha, r u still stuck in a tunnel? just couldn’t help it when i saw ur comment…..who told u dahaitsu don’t hv sedan car, kid? hahahakakaka.

By the way give the chance la to p1 for improvement..always think negative first when it come to p1. what past is past…let them improve ok… if they do it like last time its the bashing time again…but if its not please be honest with yourself by praise it a little bit…others car manufacture also have quality issue but because of the brand we dont want to admit it

btw…g luck p1…after your revenue is up dont forget to increase the r&d so we malaysian can get better car in the future…for example our home made transmission system

GOOD JOB PROTON????

the only reason why it sells like pasar malam is because it has no competition, we’re forced to by it- good or crap
——————————

our country, why want to open our market to others just like that? give them some hard time lah. u know what happen if car price too cheap? then other item will increase. for example: property. then still u will say force to buy expensive property. ohoho
——————————
anyway sbb dah 5 months waiting list, so i think quality standard could be drop. so proton staff at production line mesti letih lah korang ,hahaha.

so proton owner, give some good return to your production line lah if they archieve quality target. baru semangat skit diorg tu nak kerja.

>>>Myvi still on top of sales chart even after Persona n Viva introduced. Dare u say Myvi is the cheapest n that it sells cuz ppl r forced to buy it?

Stop underestimating Msians. Today, I see Mini Cooper everyday everywhere I go, I definitely think Msians are having a better life (to be able to buy a cramped, all style wit little substance car, that means we’ve reached a level we can showoff wit excessive money) than what you may think. If u still feel u’re “forced to buy Proton”, then that just means u nd to work harder so that u can buy a better car than ranting here abt cars too xpnsv. If u seriously think life is a bed of roses in US/Japan/UK/Australia, then u rly nd some reality check.

Always demanding for cheap cars, isn’t that exactly what the gahmen is doin to us when it comes to fuel price? Gahmen always say we hv cheapest fuel, we say they’re lame, give reasons like purchasing power parity lah, not plausible to change currency directly lah blablabla, so what makes them think it’s not lame of us to demand cheap cars? I dun care w/e excuse u guys r giving, it’s the same effect to them. They will still think u’re ungrateful, lame n “kalo tak suka, keluar dari Msia”.

There’s two choices here:
1. Change the gahmen (very unlikely)
2. Change ourselves to become rich (much more realistic n easier to achieve). Wanna know how, read books written by rich ppl. Robert Kiyosaki is a gud one.

Of course, migrating is easy, but that’s just like a dog chasing its tail. The trouble won’t disappear, n then u’re stuck in a cycle.

Sir, nobody FORCED you to buy Proton car. People buy it because they LIKE it. For example, some Singaporean bought some Proton cars not because they can’t afford the other brands. And Proton cars (and also Perodua cars) sold in Singapore are not really that cheap either. Although Proton not selling cars in big numbers over there but some still buy it.

—————————————————————
Gen2’s failure is mainly due to its poor quality. Not really because of whether it’s hatchback or not…. Look at Myvi , it’s a hatchback infact the boot is smaller than Gen2 but people accept it because of its quality….. Neo and Savvy were developed before Myvi came in to the market it cannibalized Gen2 and Savvy’s market

If the playfield is level among other car manufacturers, then proton will not be competitive selling their cars like hot cake.
