A diesel Proton Arena soon? Or a diesel SRM for the diesel+hatch loving European market. Proton used to have 2.0 litre diesel Proton Wiras, and the gearbox used for that car has been sought after by car modders for it’s supposed strength

AI-generated Summary ✨
The comments primarily discuss diesel engine technology, quality of Malaysian diesel fuel, and the introduction of diesel engines in Proton vehicles. Many express skepticism about Malaysian diesel's quality, emphasizing the importance of low sulfur content and better fuel standards for modern engines, especially those with Piezo injectors. Some compare international diesel engines, like BMW's 535d and Merc CDI, praising their power and efficiency but noting high costs. The debate also touches on emissions concerns from diesel versus petrol, with some highlighting environmental impacts and health issues such as asthma. Overall, there's anticipation and cautious optimism about Proton adopting advanced Bosch diesel injection systems, but skepticism persists regarding fuel quality and technical readiness in Malaysia.
