The Proton Perdana in Brunei cost 100k+... It's too expensive... better buy Nissan Teana/Cefiro for 50k+ with 3.5L engine.....even more luxurious than Perdana of course.

So even non-Proton "die hard fan" can buy it too, cuz it is indeed, a better car than Vio-gong.

Anyway, it is not to say or put down on Protons in Brunei, just that, in a tax free country, our Protons are not as sellable as other imported brands. Heck, who are to judge? Consumers have their rights to spend their money like one of you mentioned. After all, having Bruneians to buy our national brand is a good thing, isn't it? For us Malaysians, our heavily taxed imported cars would restrict most of our accesses but given the opportunity in Brunei, would we Malaysians buy Proton when you can have a similarly priced car that is priced beyond our reaches in Malaysia? Unless you're a Proton die hard fan la...which I can't say anything. Hi indigo, if not mistaken the spyshot pics of SX4's appeared in this PT just this year or towards the end of 2007 only where in Brunei, been I've been seeing it months before this year. Anyway, it makes no differences as basically ours are brought in slower only. Peace...
