Give them another 25 years, I think they will grow up.

I think most of us know Proton fate is sealed. It has improved its offerings
but the Koreans  and Japanese are not staying still for Proton to catch up.
In 25  years they will still be 5 yrs behind the Koreans and 10 yrs behind the
Japanese. It is only a matter of time Proton will end up like Seat of Spain
Skoda and  the latest victim Lada. A few generation of young Malaysians
will pay the "opportuinity cost"  of  not be able to enjoy better variety of cars.

I guess some negative stuff about proton are just being blown out of proportions.
I used to drive a Proton Persona.
The car served me for 5 years problem free until the day I sold it... to a colleague of mine...
Still serving him problem free.
Only thing about proton that I don't like is the quality of the service centres...

Oh, and before that, I drove a Proton Iswara for 7 years... the biggest problem I got is a dead battery and a damaged temperature sensor... other than that, it works great taking me from point A to point B for 7 years...

I have owned about a dozen cars out of which 4 are Protons. I traveled about 400k kms without
any problems at all  but if given a choice I would prefer to drive those 400K kms in a Toyota
or Nissan etc.

not even Volvo or Saab.. from my home country is doing well and their quality is better. Having said that, when i came here and met my wife the first time 10 years ago she had a proton waja (?) it was a very basic car but it worked great.

Volvo and Saab have gone through Introduction, growth, maturity and decline phase.
The Swedish Co died of natural causes and is now about to be reincarnated as  Chinese Co. LOL
Proton is like a sickly child still trying to grow.

Anybody seen this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_25Kdf3Nujo

I got an Iswara Aeroback for my parents in 2006 and like many of you said, I'd probably NOT buy another Proton. :(

No big complains about the car, just felt that the whole Proton organisation & products lacks quality.  :Scolding:

Take care, Ciao!  :thumbsup:

Well, the TS ask is Proton PREVE ready for international market, and my answer is NO.
Even the Proton Inspira is a rebadge Mitsubishi Lancer, ie from international market to local market.
So how to penetrate international market?
