my experience in my industrial traning last time.
government offer a project to setup a lab in an government institute, so ofcos only bumiput*ra company can take the project.
after tht ,bumiput*ra company find a chin*se company to take the project.

at first, the government pay bumiput*ra company 100k for tht project.
then bumiput*ra company find the chin*se company and offer them 50k for the project.
at last, chin*se company finish the project with fulfillment of all the spec required with 10k.

at the end, bumiput*ra company earn 50k, chin*se company earn 40k, and government hav a 10k lab by paying 100k.

WTA is this the same as wht happens to P1 too?
let say P1 initially put a budget of RM500 for a dashboard, but at the end they only have a RM100 dashboard installed in the car. so the result is a crappy car with high building cost.

Nope. that is coffeshop talk. BS.

Chinaman say: No sauce. Well, sauce may be tasty with some govt projects - but does not go well with Proton.

Proton is operated as a company like any other. It does not economy of scale, but is coping ok i guess.

RM50k for a 1200kg sedan OTR is reasonable. Do a comparison of the OTR prices for 1200kg class sedans in other countries if you dont believe me.

Please go to www.honda.com.my.
Check the Honda City price in Langkawi:
RM53.800 for IDSL and RM56,800 for VTEC.
It is NOT dreaming. Get ur facts straight, we CAN be buying a City at Gen-2 prices if Proton doesn't exist.

The City/FitAria is a ~1000kg class sedan. It's a lil smaller than a gen2 sedan, which is a ~1200kg class sedan.

The City/FitAria is a sedan version of the small Jazz/Fit.

A fair comparison would be between the City and the upcoming "Sedan" version of the Savvy platform.

A Honda 1200kg class sedan, the civic, costs RM75k OTR (WITHOUT TAX/NAP)... even if NAP/proton didnt exist, it would be about RM85k with GST and normal taxes... much more than the gen2 sedan. Of course, it is abit more technologically advanced. But the gen2 sedan is only ~RM50k

...it's still reasonable.

where got ppl judge the car with its weight..normally ppl compare dimension which is the size not the weight..of course lighter car is better for performance and fuel consumption

as long as the car have same CC and dimension..they should be class under the same group.. lighter car is better in fuel consumption and performance..

no, what's he talking about does make sense actually.

indeed, Proton sucks when it comes to renewing its models and also QC, but they're also providing cheaper alternatives. that is their selling point overseas, not some super souped up cars with Martian technology.

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.

Lets compare a 3 yr proton with 3 yr kia/hyundai/cherry/mahindra.

MAYBE CPS is just a rebadge of Campro, or rather just a retune of Campro which focus on low to mid range and suffer hi-end power, and doesn't have the sudden surge feel it supposedly had like VTEC?! whistling.gif

122bhp is consider good enough for a 1.6 NA
if it is tuned by R3, i expect it to be around 140+bhp..
