If he is alive he wouldn't even wanna set his eyes on this car... let alone that little welding spot...

RM 72k car vs RM 1,500k car... you say leh...?

steve jobs?

there is one.....

he is either now in mclaren or zonda

Cost issue, if they cover the spot wield the car will cost slightly more with those extra fitting, I think that why they cut it.

But spot wield really make the chassis stronger.

look at vios door how bersih.

this wat u call u pay money u get quality.

if accident i bet preve kemek and the door pecah 2 pieces

that is not even a vios ..

P.s. I think my bicycle welds looks so much better than potong shitty job

This proton welding( proton shit ) is better/safer ( smell nicer / taste nicer ) than other ( better than other shit) ...

Malaysia boleh. If you so love this piece of junk, go ahead and buy it. Why care about those lousy looking welding or cheap plastic that fall apart which you are not suppose to touch!

But if you really want to compare, you should go and look at some imported car which when you minus out the tax and excise duty is much cheaper than the potong car yet they and so much better.

The misalightment clearly in the photo n I repost in the preve thread.... But this shit is smell damn good there... Nothing is wrong...

No comments on the quality of the welding process but to those uninformed those are definitely not the finishing of spot welding.

Spot welding is a type of welding and not welding at specific spots.

Global car wannabe? Haha............
Imagine if Jeremy Clarkson seen this car?

look at those gaps between the 2 metal parts welded. Proton design probably use water leaked into the chassis as a form of noise insulation. eco friendly....

as u know...malaysian is all abt looks
it has to be done nicely (view frm malaysian)
but i do agree...it can be done nicer....maybe skim it lil bit to make it smoother

tried to inspect my exora bold and also gen2 cps... got no spot welding or 2-part door... all doors are one-piece...

HAHA

quite unusual for proton to build preve door using 2 metal panels while for exora and gen2.. one metal panel... still couldnt see the 2-metal-penel door in paultan web though.... i try to see in preve again in few days time to confirm

My Wira door has welding joint/mark just looks like Preve..,
but wira's is fully welded and without seeing any gap...

old tech vs new tech bro
its always like that...and if ppl say why so late...reason very simple..cost
just as same as "crumple zone"
old car dn't have...so when crash..no kemek
new car have...so when crash...the engine compartment crush and absorb the force..it looks uglier after crash but it saves lives
example vios no crumple zone...crash and only dent...ppl say wah..see the car so strong
proton include crumple zone...crash and the whole front is finish....thn ppl come and say "wah, proton so low quality, the whole front is gone"

ni perodua viva lah...aduyaii...failed jugak!

the difference is, those spots that you mentioned are usually hidden. the one on preve is.. well, obvious and now even more obvious with the viral 'marketing' of how good the welding is lol. i cant stop laughing look at the comments on facebook. everyone's spreading the word, faster than anwar gay topic.

the problem i see is the marketing, in fact over hyped marketing i would say. marketing is good, look at the koreans and iphone(?) well, at least they are decent looking and live up to the expectations of what they market. for proton, there were over exaggerated reviews even before the launch, like how nice the interior would be and putting it on par with continentals. there's no wrong here, but only if you actually provide something that can be compared to. Another would be the power, 1.6 equivalent to 2.0? yes, average joes who had no idea whats a turbo will be excited. those who had experience/own on turbo cars calls it crap the moment they drive it. Then, comes the quality issue(not gonna elaborate more, enough hate is going around lowyat regarding the button ) As for handling and safety, well they did it right this time. Besides that, i don't see any reason buying this car but for those who have a budget of less than 80k, i think this is their only choice.

i tend to believe the only ones that will actually buy preve are those upgrading from saga/persona/waja etc. which have limited budget. the ones driving vios or city, i highly doubt so. there may be a few but overall, neh. another factor which is pretty irrelevant yet is so damn relevant , is the badge. thats a barrier that i don't see proton overcoming within the next few generations of their car. people tend to compare inspira as well but that model is a different case, its a rebadge. a mitsu car. mitsu design. except where proton screwed up alil bit on the nose design (sorry @turboja ). people will buy it for the mitsu DNA.
