Look at all the unsold parked cars in Proton’s factory in Shah Alam. Manufacturing capacity doesn’t seem to be a problem for Proton. The problem is selling all the cars.
Picture by Bloomberg.
Somehow Proton does not realise that it’s declining sales are because the we, the rakyat are sick of them shortchanging us on the quality control issues. The export market Protons are of so much higher quality than ours. Proton Persona vs. Proton Wira. Anyone would take the Persona anyday. Proton used to hold 60% of the auto industry but it’s share dropped to 44% last year, a steady decline from 48% in 2003.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments are highly critical of Proton, citing poor build quality, frequent problems, inadequate after-sales service, and overpriced vehicles. Many believe Proton relies on government protection rather than improving product quality. Comparisons with Perodua and foreign brands highlight Proton's shortcomings, while some commenters suggest the company needs to acknowledge its issues and improve R&D. There is widespread sentiment that Proton's reputation is declining, and some advocate boycotting or replacing Proton cars with better alternatives.
