Mercedes Benz B class, base spec. 2 cupholders are a 30 Euro option. In a 27000 Euro car (even in higher specs I'm afraid it's only an option... that being said cupholders aren't that important for Germans).

By disappearing I meant he edited the posts himself... but I wouldn't be surprised if he got a phone call by his boss, telling him that he shouldn't be leaking stuff (I think he also stopped posting after that one).

What info is that? Mind sharing

Indirect way to say whether the car is good or not

Oh all I recall was the release date, but on the next day it was all over the news anyway.

Well that means we got proton insider here

maybe the want to wait for the revised NAP to be released first after all

hmm what benefit will be to consumer once the NAP revised?
will there be cheaper CKD cars?

Not really. More like government incentive to attract foreign car manufacturer to invest in Malaysia and assembled cars in here.

The tax structure will remain the same afaik. So no impact on Proton car pricing i guess.

Proton delays launch of newest model


Business Times understands that the delay was due to issues related to components, design, readiness and cost. “There are last-minute design changes. The hot press forming parts are also still being produced using soft tools airfreighted in from Germany,” one of the sources said.

This has led to an insufficient number of completed units for mass distribution, besides after-sales concern. The model, which slots in between Proton Persona and Proton Inspira and is based on the Proton Tuah concept model, has been lined up for launch on March 17.

The sources said there were insufficient cars for distribution due to the production going at a snail’s pace. The production forecast for March, for example, had been scaled down to 600 units from the planned 2,621 units.

The cumulative cars produced in January and February were 337 units from the targeted 4,246 units, the sources added. The delay setback aside, Proton adviser Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, after having test-driven a P3-21A early last month, said the new car was superior to other Proton models.

“I can verify and assure Proton customers and Malaysians in general that this new model can match any of the Japanese or European cars,” Dr Mahathir said in a February 7 posting in his blog at chedet.cc.

“It was such a pleasure to drive. A foreign friend who knows all about cars tested the new model and said it was up to the standard of up-market cars from Europe.

“I believe that this is a great car and Proton can be proud of it. Malaysians can be proud of it, too. The extra ringgit you have to spend will be worth it,” he added.

OMG, please only change the ugly part only, for instance the rear design lol

Hopefully they improve the design

lol never. Design part most probably minor design which does not involve body part.
Btw, the back is pretty i think. The front can be more sharper.
