my opinion, looks better than any honda car ever produced. however, for rm300000? look elsewhere. doesn’t really fit into the malaysian market.

I think previously Paul Tan post something about Proton electric vehicle by Detroit Electric would cost about half of the Chevy Volt.

no body in his right mind(although nowadays thr are very few ppl like dat) will pay rm300k for a GM…

the sad truth is that the competition is so strong and well established…price it around 150-180k thn ppl feel its reasonable..otherwise GM shouldnt bother bringing it here….

btw…the US federal reserve paid US25billion to bailout GM and Ford few days ago….

i guess our little proton is stil in good shape compare to them !

rm300k… yaiks… those who thought can resell better dun buy… nobody will buy a 2nd hand EV becos the battery is getting worse n worse after some period… rich ppl toy… unless they feel boring n sold to us at less than rm50k… haha… my advice for EV is no resell value…

Those who could afford that price tag would rather by a Merz, BMW, Audi or some other German sex machines. People who can pay such high prices are seldom worried about gas prices.

The best market in Malaysia to target Hybrids are the Perodua Myvi and Proton Saga price range after all they are the largest gas guzzlers by way of being the largest number of cars on the road compared to those 300K price range.

I hope Proton and Perodua are sitting up and listening to all this.

Rm 300k?

kinda ex. but believe you me, people will still buy if it comes here.

those advocates of environment who happens to be rich will buy.

and we can count on PREMIER AUTOMOBILE to import in also. or Naza.

money in the pockets la la la.

Pretty ‘cheap’ for a mid-sized electric vehicle.
