i very interested to buy it

y no confident ? proton own lotus and lotus a famous company ... as good as ferrari company

i own replica ferrari diecast, as good as real ferrari car
does that makes me a rich guy?

put that aside, i think that is a good deal, provided the interior at least same as waja campro, if not better

Ya i know it own lotus. But everytime i read newspaper and saw those proton car split in half when bang the tree . The people inside

u all still interested in Proton.

Waste alot of rakyat want money.

Proton own lotus company. This is not a very big deal.

But is a waste money.

They had establish their company for more that 20 year.

Somehow the quality on the current market is damn shit.

I will not have my life with Proton. Proton louzy

Hidup tanpa proton, Malaysia boleh.

I like the last phrase. But i own a proton. Just started to come out and work. Hope to find some $$ and change car

with the actual campro engine, and a sedan version. It might be a better car than its previous gen2 lor..hehehe

You made a typo mistake. 55 litters of boot space is pathetic.

Agree but who knows what disaster await us

that true, I rather buy kancil & Myvi.

there is 2-3 threads discussing about this new sedan

wah... rather buy kancil and myvi? care to explain further?

yeah
less electronic stuff, less problem, less headache, kcng famous quote

If you want to compare i think u can take a 3 years vios/city and then compare with a 3 years proton. Then you can see how impressive is it....

Own Lotus so??? VW also don't want to buy it ....

Just my comment.

You got HIM!! You got him. LOL

ROTFLMAO. Minimalist basher.

Time would tell how this generation of sedans will be.

20yr's is very young for a car company.
Eg. Korea protected it's home brands by banning Jap imports completely for more than 40 years!

About quality, my dad's perdana has done 220,000km without any major problems (except expected wear and tear lah of course..eg tires, windshield wipers etc, spark plugs, timing belt etc).

I dont believe they are wasting rakyat's money. Money internally circulated to local industries. To the local economy. Proton has stuck to making cheap cars that people earning third world wages can afford. The upcoming gen2 sedan, priced at ~RM50k (midrange) is very reasonable. Even if NAP/proton didnt exist, a jap sedan of similar size/wt (~1200kg class) will cost upwards of RM70k OTR. It will only waste your money if you insist on buying 2.0L upward cars that come with super high tax as a result of NAP. The average malaysian probably couldnt afford a baseline 2.0L BMW 3series that would cost about RM180k OTR (WITHOUT NAP!) without going into debt.


The H-Line, RM55k variant seems attractive if it comes with standard features like ABS and 4+Airbags.
