Comments on: Proton electric car coming in 2014, Parliament told http://paultan.org/2012/09/28/proton-electric-car-coming-in-2014-parliament-told/ Malaysia's Number 1 Source for Automotive News Mon, 20 May 2013 12:57:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Daniel http://paultan.org/2012/09/28/proton-electric-car-coming-in-2014-parliament-told/#comment-890262 Daniel Tue, 08 Jan 2013 12:23:07 +0000 http://paultan.org/?p=133685#comment-890262 If our public transport system is good & reliable, I won’t bother buying a car.

But sadly the workplace, ammenities, home, schools & etc are so poorly connected by public transport.

Menteri Pengangkutan buat apa? KTM Komuter bila nak maju?? Bas bila nak menepati masa? Menteri Pengangkutan buat apa?

After all cars are just a machinery to ease transport. Why bother get an import if both gets u from A to B just the same? Besides, maintenance are waayyy cheaper than imports. Only fools blinded by brand name & having poor self-esteem needing an image boosts by the machinery they drive in. Its just a machine folks…get over it!

Albeit the higher purchase cost..

I don’t want to recharge the battery every 500 yards and change the battery every 4 weeks.

Sebab ada Proton la ada banyak peluang kerja. Majoriti rakyat yang tak kaya beli Proton, yang ada duit lebih boleh beli kereta jenama lain. Jadi apa nak kecoh kalau Proton dapat wang untuk perbaiki kualiti hidup rakya Malaysia

they were a british sports car maker once, but now it seems they’re focusing on EV research.

you can see a list of cars here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frazer_Nash

and they made this car too, as a concept, along with giugaro: http://www.autoblog.com/2009/03/03/geneva-2009-frazer-nash-namir-by-giugiaro/

i’m not saying it’s a well-known or famous company (only car enthusiasts would know the name), but they’re not some ‘kedai potong’ or random company as some comments seem to make it.

just because you haven’t heard of something, doesn’t mean it’s not good, right?

as for proton and EVs, here’s hoping for better things. whether jadi or not, time will tell.

They bought imported cars and keep complaining about Proton. If each Malaysian gave a great support and buy Proton cars since the last 25 years, I believed Proton would be a great brand instead.

In another note the reasone R&D is amaizingly slow at Proton, is because DRB is very new in the field of RND and it has never design any sort of vehicle before .Mind you DRB is Protons Boss, I think they are trying to adjust on how to handle Proton…..

fyi proton has already planed 6 new cars built on the Preve’(P1(big cars)& P2 (small/medium)platforms ,some of the cars has just completed the design proses …and I think one of the cars is a Small A segment vehicle(GSC)while the other is ofcource the hatchback version of the preve’….

I am deeply sorry for the long write up
by the way im new hear..

It depends on the government initiative to maybe promote greener alternative.

Don’t be to blinded by the anti-government sentiments laa. Be a smart Malaysian. If government wrong, marah lah. Kalau tak salah, takkan nak marah jugak?

So you don’t want government to give money to Proton? Give to foreign company izzit?

Lagging behind trends with make your products less desirable. Look at Prius. Come out early in the market can sell expensive to recoup R&D costs. Then when got competitor drop price slowly. Always in profit. Toyota also grow from government protection. Look at it now. Come on Proton….something so simple also dunno meh ???

The only thing that i felt is a must is why left out the direct fuel injection system? If that included must be a perfect efficient engine for Proton.. Oh well.. Is it all about cost & our low quality fuel (Still EURO2?!? WTF!)
