Only idiot will buy budget car from a company that kejap ada, kejap takda in that country. They will take your money, leaving you high & dry and without parts.
Come to think of it even buyers from their home country also having problem getting parts.
Indeed, so stop buying toyota

3 biggest car market contributed to the figures namely USA japan and Indonesia .
Toyota won’t bother so much with bz4x. Only you.
In 2004 proton annual sales figures was exceeding 200k mark, thus the plan to build a second manufacturing plant to support shah alam factory.
Today – and for the past 15 years – proton struggled to hit 100k.
Remember what CEO Dr Li promised in 2016?
Make proton second largest car producer in Asean between 2025-2030.
Proton is nowhere near that.
Business is about making profits. Period.
In 2004 proton made 200k sales but still made losses.
In 2021 proton sales were not as high due to pandemic but it still made a profit.
That is all that matters. Profits. No point being perodua, making lot of sales but low profits per unit.
Perodua never been bailed out by govt for RM billions down the drain and also never blame rakyat if low pathetic sales.
Making profit might be the end goal, but there are other strategy such as capturing market share and acheive critical mass first. If Geely wants to throw money just to expand market share in Malaysia… they can.
Top 3. Not 2nd.

For example， in that year, the 200k sales only earn RM500 per unit, and that only made RM100 million. In the 1st eight months of this year, 65k units sales earned RM2,000 each, and P1 have already earned RM130 million.
Keep up the good work P1 for our country.
