My wife approve after look at this pic but.. but.. we're actually planning to get Exora Bold for business purpose (angkut barang). Tuah not gonna be practical for us and we're already own a sedan and small hatch.. haih.. let time tell (currently I'm tempted to the max    )

ha..ha..an engineer from proton working with supplier. Wow, thats news, cari duit luar ke bro :-).  Anyway, all electronics equipments are being supply by vendors n actually the same vendors as others. Like srs airbags, only some vendors supply it, n they supply it to all car manufacturers on the world. Erm, maybe the engineer in that forum want to say, airbags are from protons, esp are from prtn(actually from bosch), ecu 32bit also from proton, n everything invented by prtn.  Haish, dont the engineer mentioned know the word OEM? Previous supplier of pwr windows already out of pic, previously, prtn design it, send blue print to vendors, initial part is ok during selection, the u know what happened high production, they stumble(vendors)but dunno whether the new one, which one of global oem also will do the same thing, but seing exora(new vendor for pwr windows) still survive untill this day, i think it shud be ok. Now, many parts are oem, means standard across manufacturers to reduce cost.  Like punch cvt,oem, prtn ask them to provide certain specifications for prtn cvt, they send out sample that they already tested it earlier(actually by doing this can make development time cut short)then prtn n lotus tested it, send all data to punch, if there is any dissactifaction, punch will try to make it as being demand. Thats why now gbox warranty is handle by punch,not prtn coz using oem. Previously, prtn buy the gbox, so,if anything happened,like savvy amt, prtn send complaint to renault, but because renault say their gbox never had that problem, so, prtn have to bear it. But worser, when this happened after warranty expired, consumer have to bear the cost. But for oem, punch is responsible to cater any problem arise in the future coz prtn now order punch to build a gearbox for them, then pay the cost pergearbox as agreed in agreements. not buying them like previously as mitsu,renault n prtn try n error.  So, if abs prob, i think trw is responsible, esp, bosch, iafm plus injector also bosch, meter instruments, some electrical components including ecu,wiring n harness, bash continental ag.  I think all suppliers mentioned are oem for other makes also.  correct me if im wrong, dunno whether vw using vw brand esp, vw brand abs, vw brand turbine, vw brand ecu n vw brand wiring n etc. Normally oem make it on behalf of them.   By the way,if u notice, the windows supplier also change, slowly, now flx using st gobaiin sekurit if im not mistaken, blm is ms standard, fl, not so sure, but 1st gen exora using diff vendor also, but both exora n flx window vendors are oem for beemer. Some said st gobain is better, some said the other one is better,dunnolah, as long as oem other big co,for me its oklor. Can check oversea beemer forum.   Still confuse with prtn engineers work with suppliers, never heard before. Anyways, it seems like a bold move before launch by others perhaps coz to make sure that buyers are holding on buying untill they managed to launch theirs, so that when too many options, buyers will confius. N maybe buying them coz of brand image compare to prtn.  N the engineers also dunno prtn using many oems, seems like lazy engineer lor, what do u do at prtn rnd? Come, eat n sleep n punch out? No wonder many problems in prtn cars coz they have engineers like that. Dunno what is happening around them :-).  By the way, of course they are issues during development, but its normal. Last time,all i heard,only on vendors part prob,externally,more on cosmetic part. N heard also some vendors already kick out coz q prob even the product is not launch yet coz this time around, from my source mentioned they tested the production car from assembly lines with all production parts in order to iron out any potential problems in the future n continuous testing will be done even the car is already launch.  But nothing perfect though coz diff people,diff way of handling their cars, hardly to immitate all ways of handling. Atleast they try. They learn alot from previous lessons, but dunno about now then coz new owner. My source also keep his mouth shut when new owners coming in. Hopefully its a positive things,not negative one. If not, it will be a doom.

The car back from Spain was met by Bomba Malaysia. They were told to cut of the main body panels to take out the occupants (if there is) in the car. The B-pillar is so tough that their drill bit actually broken. Took them more 15minutes to complete the task.  Proton car does have ultra high strength steel this time around.  My news source is genuine, my friends actually designing the collision repair manual for P3-21A/
