sometimes, proton get technology slower but you must also think from their point of view. they are producing cheaper car ma. if they were to put a new technology with rivals like forte and stuff then you wont be buying your pe at the price of lower than 60k already. so you cant blame them for it.
that only not more than 50% true. proton is cheaper than other car in malaysia but their car is never cheap.
the car is not that valued for money. try government for not taxing 200% tax on the other cars. i will say that there is 2 possible thing happen.
1. proton will fight with other competitors, hire lots of potential engineers to develop technology better than others, improve their after sales service with the quality of service better than anyone else, ensuring QC control in the best and not like "we produce numbers of car everyday, minutes, we had no time to check the parts.
2. Proton will not be able to compete with the competitor bcoz no technology, no quality, not that cheap anymore, no good after sales service, bankrupt.
I know proton is considered a new company. their quantity demanded is low in the market. unlike toyota and honda, the demand is high therefore producing in bulk can get a lower cost. Lets compare the timeline. Proton founded 1983. 14,706 Proton cars were exported in 2006. In newspaper, 26,000 proton car were exported in 2009. means they take around 25 year to achieve. Hyundai is found 1967. they exceed 1 million unit export in 1989. they took 22 years to achieve.
Proton- 25 years to achieve 26,000 export.
Hyundai- 22 years to achieve 1,000,000 export.
hahahaha~~still got a lot lah~~done this during my research for my assignment. now easy to find a lot.
but the fact is no money buy proton. dun wan car kena curi buy proton. wan to sell car at high price buy proton. wan to feel less sakit hati when kena scratches driving around m'sia buy proton. wan to mod car kaw kaw but proton. less maintainance cost but proton(assuming not the unlucky one that get a no QC car)
hahahaha~~no offence. just sharing. i recommend the article in wiki about proton although wiki is less trustable but overall we know.
