yes,
we want cheaper imported car. But is it worth to stop doing automobile manufacturing and leave thousands Malaysians jobless?
in my opinion, the proton cars are still ok. not usually broke down.
That if you close Proton, we take away excise tax, then a 2005 Toyota Corolla in the US will do it. IIRC, cost USD16,000, which is around 52k. Of course, no lotus handling, since lotus is owned by Proton.
It's meaningless marketing BS anyway. Lotus cars handle well because they're well balanced lightweight cars. Cars that have good handling with an entry level price include the Mazda 3, Ford Focus, Honda Civic, etc..
