    The Proton used to be years behind the latest technologies in the industry and then it enters the "sound" years gap and soon into the "light" years gap behind the industry players.

    Opps…this bring Proton from our National Proud to a new category and become the vampire company for all the taxpayers! For whose glory is this supposed to be? In a country where even the basic infrastructure also cant get right with its capital now the official "Venice of Asia". The rulling party sure make every Malaysians proud from "Malaysia Boleh" to "Malaysia Apa Pun Dapat Boleh".

    But sadly due to Ketuanan Melayu, the UXXO G refuse to sell Proton to VW which we might have all these technology in our country now… Even Polo technology is better than any Proton cars on the road..

    Now we have to pay premium price for these imported beauties… bloody hell AP & Tax..
