Well look at it this way.....
Proton have not come out with a car that once I saw it I think "OMG!! I HAVE to buy it!"... yet Do I expect Proton to come out with a total superstar that will blow T & H out of the market? Not really... IT might look impressive on paper.... but.... i have a nagging feeling... things will not be a rosy in reality.. |

QUOTE(bojek @ Feb 15 2012, 06:07 AM) I'm sure when the car come out later, it will wow if not all, some of the Toyota/Kia/Honda enthusiast due to its spec. alone, plus,not to say cheap but the price is very competitive for a high spec at 75k. QUOTE(zhngmykahzhng @ Feb 15 2012, 11:01 AM) Proton should advertise the car in a more positive way like the strong chassis, handling and torque /speed in some good scene with challenging road. Dont just show some padi field or old balik kampung scene or even throwing the car from a monster that not really interest the potential buyer. yeah true....they need new agency...to think how to capture the ppl How can a boot space able to fill in more durians can interest the buyer? Even if you attempt a more glamorous city sky-scraper or 5 stars hotel grand entrance with a slow motion with nicely tux guy or well dress bootylicious girl, it will not interest the buyer because the car is not at a premium /luxurious line. A turbocharge car should put in the more aggressive and stylish street legal aspect then slowly the goodies shall be known as worth it. Boastful paper specs with too many gadgetry from Proton is no longer capturing the market. Show us more videos like maybe "The making of P321A" documentary style and build back the confidence. Don't act childishly like those KL Drift or arrogance thrashing competitor cars like Top Gear. Even those local media car tune magazines should provide unbiased review. Start it the right way if this car really worth it and do it like a big man if this is the global market car. All the best!!!! [Don't just stop at only "Lagi Power, Lagi Best"] |

I don't want stupid LED headlights or stupid info display thingy on the dash. I want an affordable, comfortable sedan with a good engine, not adding more gimmicks so that they'll spoil after a year or two. Proton is on the right track on the FLX 1.6, now where's the Saga with the Exora Bold turbo engine? and what's with the headlight buzzard thingy? this "technology" is so old it predates my grandma, don't make me laugh This post has been edited by stormlcc: Feb 15 2012, 12:47 PM |

P 3-21 A competes against Corolla rather than Vios. That said, I do understand why people choose a Vios or City. However, I think, we should reserve our judgment, only when people tried it, tested it or the first batch of users |
