Proton Savvy Accident in Singapore
Just in case you’re wondering how the undercarriage of the Proton Savvy looks like, here’s a photo on the left. Now, why did this Proton Savvy turtle? This accident happened in Singapore on Lornie Road off Andrew Road. A Proton Savvy driven by Lim Hwee Joo came down the road, somersaulted, and landed upside down in a garden of a house, about 5 meters lower than the street level.
The owner of the house Daniel Lee said this is not the first time a car has crashed into his house in this manner, and the accident caused a fair amount of damages to his garden. Ms. Lim emerged from the car unhurt, which is pretty amazing. It looks like the Proton Savvy is really built tough after all!

the rim looks ugly leh…anyway..i think savvy is indeed tough….but cramped!
May 24, 2007 @ 10:49 am
maybe the car was going downhill too fast around a corner and the house was unfortunately located at the end of the corner as the owner said this was not the first incident.
May 24, 2007 @ 10:50 am
one example where an export spec proton savvy is lower than malaysian spec - all malaysian savvys have proper alloy wheels!
May 24, 2007 @ 10:55 am
unfortunate house must be located in accident prone area near flyover

Paul, well said. For future photo shoots, please stick to H-Line. Just wondering, are the Wajas and the Neos equipped with this new “armor” plates just incase it turned turtle and shutterbugs snapping around too
May 24, 2007 @ 11:09 am
this reminds me of the pictures that were going around on the internet shortly after the car was launched, of a savvy that turned-turtle and flew into a ditch. There were 4 guys in the car and they only had bruises and scratches. the roof did not cave in at all.

A good feature of savy
May 24, 2007 @ 11:22 am
Savvy been tested so many times..n proven built tough n also good in ride handling..FC also..good !!
May 24, 2007 @ 11:46 am
Another proof that Savvy has one tough body shell. What an ugly wheel cover from Wira.
May 24, 2007 @ 11:47 am
Savvy’s body looks like turtle, and its build tough like turtle shell also :p
May 24, 2007 @ 11:49 am
If just Savvy built bigger, I might trade in my Wira…
May 24, 2007 @ 11:49 am
Another great example of Savvy’s good built-quality. I believe all comments hereafter from Savvy bashers are just irrelevant nonsenses and pointless ramblings. Go on, make a fool of yourselves.
May 24, 2007 @ 11:51 am
1.”Built tougher than you think”
2.TUV inspected
3.mythbuster tests with godzilla throwing savvy at their backyard
all passed but fail savvy bashing.
May 24, 2007 @ 12:00 pm
what a tough “turtle”
nice job proton
May 24, 2007 @ 12:08 pm
good job Proton!
May 24, 2007 @ 12:09 pm
it’s just accident…
any car could be like that…
maybe the driver need take some lesson for driving
May 24, 2007 @ 12:46 pm
Hmm andre128, I dont think so. If the car was a Kancil or Saga, I bet the driver must be injured, or dead.
May 24, 2007 @ 1:09 pm
Mmmmm…. forget about the abs, the Savvy got air-bag or not? Isnt it something wroth to find out before you expecting the same protection from your savvy.
May 24, 2007 @ 1:12 pm
It’s tough alright, no doubts about that ever since it’s launched. Just not attractive enough :p
May 24, 2007 @ 1:29 pm
Nice to look from front but ugly from the back. Some cosmetic works need to be done there. Yes it is a car that look tough. Still dont like it though, guess it’s about not having the chemical.
May 24, 2007 @ 1:33 pm
waha .. skali lagi plz .. hehe ..
May 24, 2007 @ 1:34 pm
I remembered they used to put up some figures abt structural rigidity, and Savvy’s was abt the same as a BMW 5-series, bt nt sure the E39 or the E60.
I guess this is a proven real-world situation that Savvy is indeed tougher than its counterparts out there. Let’s see how Viva’s gonna handle these kinds of situations…..
May 24, 2007 @ 1:48 pm
the savvy is really a good car…if u go to the savvy club site , u hardly see members complaining abt sting in the car…bt sad that its not appreciated here..uk and australia is selling well though…its a good buy….
May 24, 2007 @ 1:50 pm
Break tak makan
May 24, 2007 @ 1:53 pm
its not the most beautiful in proton’s line up,
its not a mini,
nor a fiat 500,
not as right as fabia,
but..,its different, looks imitation free, id say it a fun one off in protons kinship,
its the potential that proton should look into, with variants and standard accesories within ‘fun’ prices or no different in prices, which covers from manly sporting attitude to a girly taste or to a classic line with,……………..just a tought,
May 24, 2007 @ 1:57 pm
u don get airbags in open wheel racing car too. the formula is strong body structure and trusty safety belt that ensure driver safety.
sometimes having airbag does not guarantee u will survive unscathed. it has shelve lifespan too. i wonder any drivers care to check their airbags. go dig it!

__________________________________________________________________________
Yes, that’s true. I’ve read it in the CBT section of the NST sometime back after the Savvy’s launch in 2005. Based on that article, if i can remember, a car’s structural rigidity is measured in “N/MM” (like i know what that means… haha), and the Savvy’s rigidity is 17000N/MM (The strongest among all Proton cars). And….. if i can remember, the Savvy is in included in that list of cars that possess high structural body rigidity. In that list also includes the Gallardo and Murcielago, and a few BMWs!!!
May 24, 2007 @ 2:08 pm
Looks like 06′ batch..so no airbags/abs/ebd..06′ SG specs came with a small spoiler and 14′’steel wheels with caps…SG dun have strict rulings like UK so airbag is not compulsory.
Imagine the impact force if fell from that height plus the velocity force.
proud driving one

May 24, 2007 @ 2:37 pm
@Nizam80
That’s exactly where I read abt it, it was around 3 times stronger than Wira’s structural rigidity. Talk abt bigger = safer, this is indeed, one of those times when truth is weirder than fiction :P.
So, ‘cheap’ Msians dun appreciate safety n prefer to buy Wira>Savvy, then, when their Wira starts to become problematic, blame everything under the sun except themselves for nt buying the right car.

yeah ive seen it too in the cbt………BTW the N/MM is i think newton/bla bla……but i still got thsoe papers..hehehe…a cbt fan……from a middleteen

May 24, 2007 @ 2:56 pm
As a contrast, BMW Z4’s is 32000NM.
May 24, 2007 @ 3:01 pm
ummmm??? why is mine so many?..oh well….
May 24, 2007 @ 3:04 pm
In the last picture you can see the driver door open.
Looking at the frame of the door, it does not show any distortion at all. Although the photo was taken pretty far away.
Now thats pretty impressive. Test drove the car 3 times. Really liked it.
Just needs a little ergonomics improvement and a reshaped butt.
Would have liked to get an off the shelf power upgrade.
Would most dfinitely buy it as a city run around car.
May 24, 2007 @ 3:11 pm
Turtling and not crashing the roof, doesn’t mean that the car is tough, it’s just pure luck. Remember the 5 series accident in Sri Hartamas? The piece of metal that dropped on the roof killed the passengers, Having a structural rigidity of 17000NM is nothing to brag about in current modern, car manufacturing world.
I’ve seen pics of a crushed, flattened Savvy.
Any car can be crushed IMO.
May 24, 2007 @ 3:16 pm
wow… if only it was big enough for me to sit in…
May 24, 2007 @ 3:17 pm
My old satria flipped and turn turtle once, at Ulu Yam near the dam and the roof caved in from 3m drop…luckyly no body is hurt…but this savvy roof pillars do looks tough on absorbing impact from a crash of 5m height..

so…giv those pics to paul la…….that way everyone can see it…..
May 24, 2007 @ 3:43 pm
Crashed down 5m at back garden of a house with normaly slope yet the roof of the car not cave in doesn’t mean Savvy are built tough! If we use the bycycle or bullock cart to simulate crash on this same location, the result might be similar? So we also can say the bullock cart and bycycle built tough?
This is not a method to jump into conclusion the car is well built as it might roll over and turn turtle instead of “vertical drop” or buy luck it is a low speed and turning area. I still remembered not long ago I read in the newspaper Mercs crash in the tree at the middle of the road at Jalan Tun Razak at high speed and the car completly remuk and putus dua. Are we can jump into conclusion Mercs is built “soft”.
The bespoke method and acceptable in auto world is NCAP star rating. If Savvy achieve 5 Star, then it can claim it is NOT built tough but “safe”! That is an objective conclusion!
Ha, ha, built “tough” - Savvy want to become “gladiator” and fight in the Rome Colliseum, or as tough as wrestler want to fight in the WWE ring? That advert is so silly yet there are Protonian out there “force” themselve down to their throat! Pathetic ……..

Your figure is structural rigidity or torsional rigidity?
May 24, 2007 @ 4:16 pm
any car can be crushed, but the stronger the car is, the more your “luck” is multiplied. Thats just my opinion.
btw Mr. Joe Ooi. NCAP does not test for roll-over
so a 5 star, or 3 star or whatever NCAP rating is irrelevant in this case.
May 24, 2007 @ 4:23 pm
Take any Myvi and crash it like how this Savvy did. I bet it will be crushed like a pathetic little tin-pulp! Don’t believe? You can give it a try…
May 24, 2007 @ 4:25 pm
ingolstadt, if a slightly smaller metal piece, at least not big enough to crush a 17,000nm strength bmw roof is in the process of falling on your head.. will you prefer to be in the car with the stronger roof, or the car with the weaker roof? I think the answer is pretty obvious isn’t it?
No car is 100% safe. but you will obviously choose the safest possible that you can afford when you buy a car right?
The way your comment came across to me is, “we should not bother about buying a strong car, because no matter how strong or safe your car is, if a 20 tonne piece of metal came falling from the sky and hit you, you will be crushed anyways”
May 24, 2007 @ 5:01 pm
Hmm.. Alright, it might be strong, yes.
It might be tough, yes.
It might be able to resist flip overs, yes.
But what is putting off it’s sales? -
F.P - Face problem, seriously! - How can a car look more ugly than that? I have no doubts about its claims since it’s launch, the thing is that the way it looks.
Some might call the Myvi a frog car, the Viva all the same, but I think they look way much better than the Savvy. So, looks is very important, but then, maybe the ridiculous look is associated with its toughness? - Hmm.. We never know..
And of course, I agree with hondadriver, having a stronger car is always better than a weaker one.. Cheers!
May 24, 2007 @ 5:10 pm
Impressive. Savvy is indeed strong.
And yes, the stronger the car is, the more “luck” you will have.
May 24, 2007 @ 5:37 pm
Proton should buy back this SAVVY and Use it for advertisement.
Why not? By showing the REAL Crashed car to public it will make people confident of Proton product.
May 24, 2007 @ 5:50 pm
Savvy’s sales were put-off because most Malaysians are ignorant, and tend to view everything at surface values. Beauty is subjective. What you view as beautiful might be the holy ugliest poo to someone else.
May 24, 2007 @ 5:58 pm
savyy indeed a good car.. at their own class.. small car like i don’t think should not been compared to beemer or merc..

—————————————————-
They shud just do what Mazda did for their MPV ads. I remembered seeing a Mazda ads where an owner who survived from a horrible accident talked abt his crash, and then Mazda would talk abt “This MPV is safe, 5 star EURO NCAP, blablabla”
I’ve though that is a brilliant advertising, bt as you can see, even in this blog, there are tonnes of Proton bashers out there who would twitch n thought something like “eleh, that’s called luck, nt tough” or “Proton making a mountain out of a molehill” etc. Mayb they’re right. Mayb it is true a Myvi/Viva can offer stronger body than Savvy, they’re Japanese mah…..this Proton, aiya….Msian car of cuz lousy one…..PW always fail….Msia memang boleh……mampos.
May 24, 2007 @ 6:44 pm
Hmm…
We can’t tell the integrity of a car merely by that picture. The depth (estimated at 5 metres, which will reveal the probable number of times it rolled over and the strength of the gravity pull generated), the speed (which will determine the velocity of travel), the type ground (in this case earth, which will dissipate much of the impact pressure vis-a-vis solid rock or road surfaces which will resonate the impact energy back to the metal more) will all have to be taken into consideration.
Remember Clarkson’s Kelisa-hanging feat? The car came out still very much in shape, as it didn’t tumble.
Still, the Savvy is a hardy car and I have always been impressed with the structural strength of the Malaysian car given its size.
Why wouldn’t I buy it? The Renault engine…
Looking at the depth
May 24, 2007 @ 6:59 pm
wen we say its tough build doesnt mean we have to compare with others cars of totally different segments….compare to cars of similar class,myvi,sutera,picanto n all those similar cars,the savvy feels very solid,doesnt have that wallowy light feeling as in the myvi….
those who r talking abt luck…well.its obvious izinit? lets call those NCAP ratings luck as well ..those who have 5 star crash ratings are pure luck….a proton topic will always end up with few pathetic statetments that dominates the conversation….i need a bag…time to puke !
May 24, 2007 @ 7:00 pm
Err… pls read the whole story.. I dont think the slide is very harsh.. a few people has did it but they also survive.. And she made a turnover illegal, do u think when making a turnover is fast? i don’t think a gal will drive 100km/h then turn…
Anywayz got trees and plant to block the car.. so the damage will not be worst if the car is landed on hard surface.. P1 car that have 3 star is this car only.. Well better went to 5 star rating.. I heard rumours they are going to tied up with a giant car maker which promise to produce 350k (100k for current) quality cars a year, for import and domestic and more choice of SUV/MPV… Ehm.. P1 is in troble now coz no ppl is going to take the CEO place.. 80% of proton edar is rugi now.. Haiz.. see the news paper Berita harian today and see at the business section…

sure kancil can drive 120km/h like other can…. but you think can stop it like car with abs or…
so must know what car you are driving…

look is subjective.. maybe savvy does not attract malaysian(3rd world country) taste , but savvy is quite selling well in Spore,UK and Oz..
Does it means, savvy design meets Advance country ppl taste?

May 24, 2007 @ 9:50 pm
LittleFire85, just to separate facts from fiction, the only Proton car that was certified by Euro NCAP is the Impian (note the Impian equals to UK specs). I have googled and found no mentioned of the NCAP certification on Savvy apart from TBA. Kindly correct me if i am mistaken. Many thanks!
May 24, 2007 @ 9:53 pm
Yes, Savvy is quite selling well in S’pore and UK. I’m a bit surprised because most Singaporeans have high tastes in cars. (I’m not lying and i dare to say so because my relatives are mostly S’poreans and i was born as raised there)
Agreed, at the end of the day, car sales depend mostly on customer perception towards a product. An example is the situation now in our country where our people tastes are more towards the the Myvi. This is not wrong, but as i’ve said before a previous topic: “Best selling car in a country like Malaysia doesn’t surprise me at all!”
Think about it. My statement could have negative and positive elements and is debatable.
May 24, 2007 @ 10:14 pm
did i hear someone say its ugly ?
why don’t HE try to design a car and build it ?
that would be interesting.
as if it can appear in the market.
May 24, 2007 @ 10:22 pm
It mean Savvy safe or unsafe?
Safe = Life still alive..
Unsafe = like that also can cause accident ar!!!!
May 24, 2007 @ 10:48 pm
Once upon a time in down south red dot Kiasuland, there is blue small turtle lawn mover drive by lady make a turn and roll-over to a house owner garden. The lady is considered “lucky” with minor injury as Protonian out there, cited the shell of the turtle is so strong, not cave in as a reason for saving the lady from more serious injury!
Evident is below: -

Some more, in the history of passenger car, no one car even from Toyota, Merc or BMW carry out roll-over test as part of quality/safety control! This is the most pathetic and ignorant statement …… Sigh …… don’t know what to say anymore……….
May 24, 2007 @ 10:51 pm
Well.. if savvy survive this accident say his car is tough, then i take a kancil fake the accident and show it to the press.. WOW kancil is tough.. Sometime is not the time for u to die, then u will survive.. Even a S-class driver can die with normal collision if the condition is right.. So if P1 put this as advertisement, other’s car makers also can.. Nissan, Toyota and Mazda cars sure got accident ppl survive then post on Papers.. But if ppl die in their cars got post meh? A lot of accident happen out there in Malaysia and around the world.. I have seen a savvy accident at penang bridge before, the front part totally gone, radiator bocor and i think the engine kena also, langgar an old volvo 850 bumper.. the volvo just bumper drop.. i didnt see the savvy driver but i saw blood on the front glass.. maybe head kena steering? Reckless driver kills.. So i think that gal in SG maybe have to pay a heavy fine, and even license suspended.. Anywayz the name savvy sound a bit like “SAVE ME”, save P1? I am not critise P1, since some proton maniacs here say campro is good, why P1 dont use it on savvy? i think 1.3 campro should be good in it.. If the rear lights are 2 round in red as like the skyline.. i think a lot will choose it.. Just my ideas.. If use campro 1.3 sure even cheap and more powerfull..

May 24, 2007 @ 11:29 pm
Its is ridiculous that so many find it totally improbable that Savvy is indeed a tough car. Those who has driven it for a period of time can easily tell you the feeling of rigidity and stabilty that is good for a car of this size.
On the other hand , these jokers will yell for hell if the picture above show a totally flattened savvy. The passion to bash proton is unbelievable. Maybe it is
our culture to be humble and always deny that we can produce something good.
I am no proton fan , but kudos must be given where dued.
As for appearance , we have all along align & submit our taste to japanese cars look. Any look that deviate from this form looks abnormal to some of us. Is this to be expected of people with limited taste/exposure ?
Savvy is not ugly , it’s just doesn’t has the typical japanese car’s look.Period.

I am no proton fan , but kudos must be given where dued.
As for appearance , we have all along align & submit our taste to japanese cars look. Any look that deviate from this form looks abnormal to some of us. Is this to be expected of people with limited taste/exposure ?
Savvy is not ugly , it’s just doesn’t has the typical japanese car’s look.
Period.

May 25, 2007 @ 7:18 am
Last week, there’s an accident between savvy TAN *** and new honda civic at MRI. All peoples were badly injured, but savvy driver could walk out even his arm broke. The honda driver is coma. The savvy passenger…well, sadly he’s dead because his head were hardly knocked at front window and cause internal bleading. Btw, the collision is front to front.
May 25, 2007 @ 8:35 am
go sawi go!!!!go attack the kiasu land….hha haha….no matter how tough the car is in a heavy collison the car will crash into pieces………….
May 25, 2007 @ 8:51 am
at least P1 is getting it right with this car..
May 25, 2007 @ 9:01 am
For everybody’s information…The Waja was given the 3star crash rating by the Euro NCAP officially…whereas the Savvy went through the crash test based on Euro NCAP standards and specifications (64 km/h front crash and so on) but was not officially evaluated by Euro NCAP. The Savvy scored and average of 3 stars which is very good compared to other cars in its same class. If those of you wanna have a look at the Savvy crash test car ( front crash ), its at the Centre of Excellence, Proton, in Subang. The car is displayed there. Proton Rules! Cheers!!!

May 25, 2007 @ 10:28 am
Some people will always trying to find the slightest fault and nitpick on proton…
Typical bashers..dumb I would say
The Iswara accident could have been much worse it landed on its top instead like the savvy…roof/pillars are the weakest point next to side/doors.
Iswara is a good car though, cheap to maintain another reason to go for it instead of P2 cars which are slightly more expensive to mantain.

May 25, 2007 @ 11:24 am
LittleFire85:
the facts are there dude. an accident happened, the person walked away with no injuries as reported by the press. can’t you be satisfied with that?
why dont you take your kancil and go and falsify an accident, and see if the press will write about it?
May 25, 2007 @ 11:44 am
Holy cow…90+ comments about a Savvy which landed on its top…hehehehe.
“A Proton Savvy driven by Lim Hwee Joo came down the road, somersaulted, and landed upside down in a garden of a house, about 5 meters lower than the street level.”
This goes to show you that the Savvy structure is sound.
May 25, 2007 @ 12:06 pm
This topic has been beaten to death and going in circles, time to move on. A gentle reminder to the rest, please don’t do this at home…in this case, on the streets because you might not be as lucky as Ms. Lim, Savvy or no Savvy.
May 25, 2007 @ 12:38 pm
Well let me tell u that a lot of accidents out there, some are fake.. dont believe ask the kereta tunda workers and see.. some car which have been not paying the loans for too long will fake an accident, up news paper claim high insurance and sell that car earning money.. this is the truth and i see it myself my friend done it.. just i don’t want expose it’s name..
May 25, 2007 @ 1:17 pm
@LittleFire85
Well, they wouldn’t fake an accident which the outcome is unsure, right? I mean, those fake accidents must be doing 60km/h and then langgar tiang, or w/e similar to that, bt this Savvy, is a seriously dangerous accident in which the driver can die, so I doubt this is a fake accident.
@sxe10r
If it’s my money, I’ll get the Savvy, bt I bet ur sister will end up getting the Viva bcuz it’s ‘cute’ *cough*, ‘reliable’ *double cough*, ‘low fc’ *I need a puke bag*, ‘low maintenance’*o rly?*, and most importantly, IT’S NOT A PROTON, typical Msian attitude when buying car….sigh…..
At least I’ll credit her for nt considering a Saga or Wira. She is living in 2007, not 1952, and that’s a relief to know. There are still thousands out there who ‘wears shoe made of leaves’ unfortunately…..
@KelvC
Well said, bt at least this creates awareness abt Proton’s claim of built tough isn’t like any of Semi Value’s normal press talks. Also, as a good reminder to drive safely as you said, even wit safe cars, it doesn’t mean we can drive recklessly just bcuz “we won’t die, this car is built tough”.
May 25, 2007 @ 2:14 pm
digiman…u wanna buy nombor empat ekor ah?….i was thinking abt tat too….hahahahahaha. the car flipped n was upside down, so i was thinking of ‘pusing’ the number….wat u guys think? if kena can buy one savvy or better still a neo or maybe the new waja cps?….hahahahahha….hoping for too much pulak!

She escaped with only a broken arm, her Iswara totally gone. Proton!.. built for tough!… hahahahaa!!!

May 25, 2007 @ 3:49 pm
don make such sexists remark, mate.
a decade ago, a man driver plunged to his death at pearl point, old klang road from the car park. his japanese brand car was totally write off.
May 25, 2007 @ 4:11 pm
This car can easily spot on the road in Adelaide.
Although the look is a little bit weired, but i think it is not a bad car.
I have an experience back on last year when driving with my Toyota Rav4 on Plus highway at the high speed of 160km/h, there was raining cats and dogs, the reason i drive fast is normally there wont be any speed trap during rain fall and my full time 4wd Rav4 has neve fail me whenever driving in high speed during wet weather, suddenly there was a new savvy with a blue number plate(temporary rego) overtooks me, in a minutes of time it just disappear in my sight.
Impressive, cos i have neve been challenge by anyone on the Plus highway during wet time, this is the only car, and i believe the car really doing in handling, although it might look small in size, and the heck is we having the price of nearly 50k in Malaysia where, you could have this car at Aussie dollar 16k, converting back to RM(16k * 2.8), mind you that $16k oridi included shipping, dealer comission, and some sunk cost.
Proton is sucking its own people money, and now local dealer are asking for relief fund cos the sale being drop tremendously. Have you ever see in any country, their own national car price at the same as when it sell oversea market?of course we should deserve cheaper Proton.

the accident, is very difficult to be justified how good the car is, or other makes. a lot of factors have to be considered. also include the design/ production of the car. so savvy is alright to me.

as i read, someone said savvy sell well in Singapore and the UK. Any sites to confirm your claims? i never drive savvy b4 n never test it. cause i never bother to test it. main reason it is a proton product. and when it comes to proton, the quality is by default suxs. that how damaging proton has done to it own reputation by selling junk to us again n again.
May 25, 2007 @ 6:28 pm
pls lar…singaporean will onli question about the car’s stability issue? the driver problems? or the traffic condition?

May 25, 2007 @ 7:26 pm
BettaSplendens, as far as I know Singaporeans did discuss “the toughness” of the car and how the driver managed to survive against the odds.
From Singaporean motoring site

You thought of highly yourself lah..ptuuihh!
“i never drive savvy b4 n never test it. cause i never bother to test it. main reason it is a proton product.” one find example you can’t really get good reviews/evaluations with merit and unbiased from a person who uttered this kind of statement. 0 marks for critical thinking skills.

Yup Savvy is selling well? When it was launched approx. 2 year ago in 2005, the catchphrase is: -
“We have heard enough from the first day of Proton Savvy launched in 2005 on how German big fat gorilla guy Hans Wolfgang of TUV tested the Proton Savvy and said “das ist perfekt†(that is perfect). Also how many time Savvy car claims to be built tougher than you think? Even in this case of Char Bor (Lady) driver rolled-over and down 5 m into the backyard garden of house in Kiasuland”. There are Protonians who “proud” to say “good job”. If that is the case, is it Savvy built tough to target at lady driver (not all) that “have high propensity and higher risk that prone to involve in this kind of accident”?
It was claimed for every Savvy come out from new spanking Tg. Malim high tech plant, it must go through Hans Wolfgang of TUV. But today where is him? He should get his fat cheque from P1 for this cheapor publicity stunt and go back to German laughing all the way to bank to credit into his account, buy good house and drive technochic Beemer and has pleasure drive at autobahn with no speed limit. Today, Savvy is left behind for Bolehland, Kiasuland, Briton or Down South consumers to salvage this mini turtle lawn mover!
Does this accident in Kiasuland prove what this German fat guy freaking publicity stunt correct? The answer to this is still remaining in doubts! Look at link below and see how another blue turtle lawn mower shapes when involved in accident: -
http://www.kahsoon.com/2005/08/11/proton-savvy-built-tougher-than-you-think/
Talk about Savyy selling well? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ………… Our big mouth former P1’s CEO, TM said Savvy targeted to sell at 50 to 60K per annum (approx. 4,170 to 5,000 units per month). Look at the freaking outdated P1’s website below: -
http://www.proton.com/about_proton/facts_figures/car_sales.php
The sale figure for 2005 is 6,172 units, or on average from May to Dec 2005 are 1,000 units per month for 2005. This representing an approximately 20 - 25% of the car sales target only. The sale figure for 2006 is still not updated despite there are almost 5 month we go through 2007? Baaaaaaaaanyak malas punya P1’s staff in IT Department! This is the classical case of not only stone-age product (Iswara) still in the market, but the info in their website is as good as their product in the market. How do they improve and attract investor with yesteryear cerita basi. Luckily they are not CNN or Al-Jazeera, long time ago close shop since they are not provide yesterday, but yesteryear news!
Now we look at this link,
http://paultan.org/archives/2007/04/30/toyota-overtakes-gm-in-q1-2007-sales/
The world class players like Toyota or GM sales figure for January to March 2007 is available in April 2007! But for P1, the sale figure for whole year 2006 is still not available in their official website up to May 2007? Yet there is a Protonian claim Savvy is selling well in Kiasuland and Down South. Where is the fact and figure this Protonian pluck from (from the sky?) or vomit out from his foul mouth, or ermmh … release form his “faulty assh***�
Based on 2005 average 1,000 units per month sales of 2005, the sale figure for 2006 is around 12,000 units for Savvy! Therefore, what to brag and “well done†for P1 simply because it is “build tough†but the sales reality is achieve it own project of 20 to 25% only and there is no official NCAP test to establish how many star rating for this car?
So, the sales for say P1 at UK increase is in tandem with increase in overall sales as demonstrate in the link below?
http://www.proton.co.uk/pressroom/details.asp?id=64
This is how good P1 at UK “play-play†with the % but never reveal the no. of car sold! Click below: -

I have found the press release from Proton UK (http://www.proton.co.uk/pressroom/index.asp) which quoted it source at
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders Limited (SMMT).
At the SMMT website, i have found the link to the ‘05/’06 statistic which you can analyse at your pleasure:
http://lib.smmt.co.uk/articles/news/News/Car_09_06.zip
Sept ‘06 - 497
%market share - 0.12%
Sept ‘05 - 247
%market share - 0.06%
% Change - 101.21%
YEAR TO DATE
2006 - 2,199
%market share - 0.12%
2005 - 1,395
%market share - 0.07%
% Change - 57.63%
Despite the big percentage increase, however the actual numbers remains small. The good news is Proton UK is now at the 4Q and has a good chance to break the 3K point.
————
So, Proton do a “GOOD JOB†because the sale percentage is double yet the number of car sold in UK is around 3,000 unit only in (2006) in which UK car sales with annual volume of approx. 2 million car? Tg. Malim design capacity is 1 million cars; P1 should capture not 0.12% but 20% to 25% of UK market to optimize its Tg. Malim capacity plant then only can claim truly world class and patriotic national car. But now that able to conquer our former master colonial auto market with share of 0.12% only, it is “crap-trioticâ€!
For 2005, Proton car sales is 166,118 while for 2006, it sold 115,538 units, a drop of 30.4%. Log on link below: -
http://paultan.org/archives/2007/01/25/proton-2006-sales-dip-epf-buys-more-proton-shares/
Not only P1 is not wake up, but there is freak strong Protonian blind supporters even equally sleeping! Including “play-play” with the % and come out with crap stetement “P1 car selling well in UK and SG” in an attempt to blind everyone in this thread, including Proton bashers!
Be a man and stop cock talking including this: -
“in other word, savvy design doesnt attrack kampung/3rd world country like malaysian.. but accepted in Advance countries”
The naked truth is STOP THE BUYING, STOP THE SUCKING!

==hahaha. cool down mate. some ppl think and take simple only. should be laughing indeed.
on the savvy accident photos, the car badly crashed but still intach. on optimistic site, still ok. rite?
Talking bout estimated selling figure from the former CEO, was way out, so that’s why been fired. incompetent or overconfident? what do u think?
those guys were just overexcited to say ‘good job’ even just a little improvement on sales only. hv to understand them that long time they hv been catching insects in the showrooms.
lastly, stop buying won’t stop sucking in my opinion. because whatever make/car u buy, there will be tax to pay. so forget about it. there’s certain reason NAP is required for the country. which a number of developing and developed countries also applied, in might be same or different form. i would suggest stop buying it, stop the headache and minimize the maintenance. therefore i have no proton cars eventhough i like satria neo. don’t u agree?

P1 is truly naitonal car? Another crap cock talking vomitted from Protonian filthy mouth! This is another P1 plant, an agent provocateur meant to create wrong inpression in the Paultan blog. Isn’t this is the typical Protonomic line of cock talking?
When Proton bashers oppose Proton’s low quality, unsafe and highly price that put consumer life cheap on the road, are the consumers (tax payer as well in which tax monies go to support P1) can be consider as traitors to the Malaysia? Not loyal citizens, don’t like get out of this country, etc.?
Why was “national car†or “patriotic†become line of argument for Proton’s existence? Just because the P1, cronies vendors, etc, want to suck dry the consumers under NAP.
For decades we have been told by P1 that opposing Proton is “unpatriotic†or not “loyal citizen†is okay to Protonomic. But the reality of today is Proton bashers are not traitors to the nation or disloyal Malaysians if you do indeed bash Proton “deep-deep†for its incompetent and lousy products.
In fact, Proton bashers are patriots a lot if they demand back their consumers right to purchase goods and services at market price with acceptable quality. And to bash Proton for the sake of improvement and concern with tax payer monies is OK to bring changes and improvement to our auto market and a better auto products for Malaysians.
Now unhappy Proton consumers are being bombard by Protonian’s “crap-triotic†cock talking that one challenges the Proton is equivalent to “traitorâ€. And this “national car†manufacturere that uses tax payer monies and protect by rakyat suppose to be bastion of our national auto industry, P R O T O N. But the reality on the ground is like the “monk not look after the temple, but running a brothel?†The very national institution that should benefiting and look after the welfare of the rakyat and propagating “patriotic†are indeed, P1 is lack of corporate social responsibility by churn out stone age junk metal and immoral by sucking rakyat dry under NAP.
There were serious flaws in Protonian claim P1 being truly “national car†and “patriotic†as on the ground, there is every probability they always continuosly tell the lies. It is, after all, Protonian’s word against another – Proton bashers and conusmers at large - and in the strong evident of P1 tangible failured in export market and shrinking local market is all they have, it is one man’s (Protonian) lies after lies, and after lies against the other (Bashers, consumers and tax payers).
Nevertheless, our auto market were prepared to give P1 the benefit of the doubt. Protonian told the “lies†and the bashers/consumers told the “truth� And since Protonian lied on “truly national car†in the first instance, then they must have also lied to rakyat when it is claim supporting P1 is about “patriotic†in the second instance! Definitely in the third instances, Protonian is big bullshit liar if ask those who is not happy with P1’s junk metal to migrate to other country!
STOP THE BUYING! STOP THE SUCKING!

lastly, stop buying won’t stop sucking in my opinion. because whatever make/car u buy, there will be tax to pay. so forget about it. there’s certain reason NAP is required for the country. which a number of developing and developed countries also applied, in might be same or different form. i would suggest stop buying it, stop the headache and minimize the maintenance. therefore i have no proton cars eventhough i like satria neo. don’t u agree?

Stop the buying definitely stop the sucking!
Protection policy in certain “national industries” in any country all over the world is to homegrown their industry to enrich and benefit the people of that countries in term of employment and economic growth! But our NAPs’ objectives look like gear toward that direction, but in reality, is giant sucking machine not to protect the rakyat, but suck until dry every RM spend by rakyat on the auto products.
