It wont make any sense if Proton's main strategic partner is Suzuki. Suzuki is just a small player and it is owned by VW. VW already distancing themselves from Proton.

The only logical partner is Honda right now. I thought it was Mitsubishi but looks like Mitsubishi won't want to return back again. wink.gif

Interesting choice will be Toyota. Although already own Perodua indirectly, ever remember of consolidating Proton and Perodua? This may make much sense, actually. UMWT is afterall, an GLC.

without VW, suzuki is not a small player. suzuki just not able to break in SEA market. this is one of the reason why they are eying p1. they are one of the top 10 players in the world. India no. 1. Not surprise if they want a manufacturing hub in SEA, and P1 tg malim plant is ready. Suzuki have decent diesel engine that might move to P1 model for export in the future.

T and H both enjoying high margin business and decent volume in sales. Highly unlikely they want to move to lower margin high volume business in malaysia and bring down the current model value.


Mit is not a top 10 player as according to the news, it is one of the top 10 players.

Nissan a unlikely dark horse.

But again, not sure what type of technical input is p1 looking for. Perdana replacement, engine supplier, or platform supplier for compact car??
