if they cant convince export market to buy half their production, then what ever they do also will be dead end also, cos they dont have the production numbers to lower cost and enjoy economies of scale.

What technology would you like to see in an entry level car?
u dont get it, preve and suprima is their flagship car, best effort on their own.. while vios and city is just entry level Asean B segment.. so if they cant even outdo vios and city in Asean acceptance.. what is there to say?

I don't disagree with the Proton quality argument.

I am asking what Technology does other C-segments have that Suprima/Preve does not?

And then consider the resources Proton has to market their cars overseas, notwithstanding the subpar quality. They can't even market their cars properly in Malaysia.

sure.. how many engine options does it have? for starters
got memory seats? got sunroof? got class leading KM/L figures? got JD power high rankings?

Memory seats and sunroof consider high tech? Are they more difficult to implement than a new drivetrain? stability control? chassis design?

On engine options, again, how much resources does Proton have to maintain several engine production lines considering their market share? FC-wise I don't disagree, but neither do kimchis.

basically every thing comes together and the end results are there to see.. you cant handle customer's demands in different regions how u gonna sell in volume which includes domestic and export market?
and if you dont see a mass market product in volume, your cost is gonna shoot up and become unprofitable.. so it's gonna be a downward spiral..

You know I don't really disagree with you.

My questions was simply about technology since you brought it up. I understand where you are getting at.
