Some news about Proton in Australia. Proton Cars Australia has reported an increase in sales figures for the month of February 2014 – the monthly total of 106 units represents a 63.1% jump or 58 units over that from January.
The figure also increases YTD growth for the brand by 33.9%, and a 41 unit increase from the 65 units sold in the corresponding month last year. There were no specifics as to which models led the upsurge in sales.
It currently sells the Preve, Exora, S16 FLX (the Saga), Persona Elegance and Gen.2 as well as the Suprima S, which was officially launched in the country last November.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments are mostly positive, celebrating Proton's 63% sales increase in Australia with some skepticism about the low absolute number of 106 units. Many see it as a small but encouraging start in a competitive market, though some question its sustainability given the low weekly sales per outlet. There is also humor and sarcasm, with critics doubting the figures' significance and the brand’s overall performance, while supporters remain optimistic about Proton’s growth prospects.
