AI-generated Summary ✨
The comments reflect a mix of opinions and emotions regarding Europestar's Proton GEN2 entry into China. Many express skepticism about the quality and safety standards, comparing it unfavorably to other brands like Hyundai and Peugeot, and questioning the credibility of crash test results. Some ridicule the branding choices, such as the lion logo resembling Peugeot’s, and mock the design, calling it unoriginal or joke-worthy. A few are optimistic, hoping the venture will boost Proton’s sales and reputation in China, with some highlighting potential benefits like market expansion and export success. Overall, sentiments are largely skeptical and humorous, with doubts about quality, safety, and strategic decisions, but a slight undercurrent of hope for the mission’s eventual success.
