Honestly, dah tawar hati nak tunggu kereta nye sampai. Sebab saya follow FB page of the dealer, at least ada satu X50 delivery every 3 days. Chase SA, SA kata belum you punya turn lagi. Tunggu saja la.
If betul tak dapat kereta before 31/12, consider cancel altogether la booking semua.

That is a small number of deliveries actually, roughly 10 cars a month. Most dealers are only allocated with 15 cars at most, since mid November till now. Not sure what is the allocation for this month, but will only get next month. I booked on launch also my dealer saying may only get in Feb. Cakap takde orang potong q, but sounds irrational would take so long. I took the optional accessories and flagship blue color some more. This post has been edited by adkiller: Dec 10 2020, 06:03 PM

Honestly, Proton needs a total revamp to their image among Malaysians. Now, they are resurrected to life due to Geely's products, innovations and management expertise otherwise, they will sink to obivilion. I have 2 Protons in the past when I first started my career many years ago and utterly disappointed with their cars. I sworn never to have another Proton car again. I have moved on to Japanese cars and continental cars of which I'm happy with those cars. Now, I came back to Proton because of Geely's rebadging of their car into X50 and why not, it is good based on the media reviews and brief test drive. However, the mind sets of their SAs rally put me off. For me, X50 will my last Proton car, no matter how good future Proton cars will going to be with Geely's inputs. Enough is enough!!

At one time, there was also no such thing as test drive. Kalo you mau beli, kalo tak mau boleh belah. Then due to AFTA, they had to introduce excuse duty on all cars. Eventually, Proton's pricing was no longer competitive. People started buying non national brands and you start to see less and less of their new models on the road. Now that they are on the up swing, this whole current situation feels like deja vu all over again. Not even a peep from their management on the supply issues, delays on fulfillment, etc. Dr Li seems to be focused on quick wins, the underlying issues is going to take some time to fix. Hope their management actually fixes these underlying issues, going to be make or break next year. They won't be able depend on hype and tax holiday to maintain sales.

The rebates is much2 greater cz not so demanding these day. Reasons poor after service and our country always give lack of features vs other markets especially HU, engine (lack gdi)

Bro ask SA to get another color for you because orange allocation % is single digit compared to other colors

Bro you need to understand one thing about our national car brand. What kind of people works in these P companies ? What kind of people stand in the management team ? It won’t change a single thing even with Geely unless Geely fully takeover our P company/Daihatsu take over another P company. If not because there is always a foreigner from group HQ helping our P companies as ‘advisor’, both our P company would have failed long time ago.

But for time being, what would be your alternative to x50? HRV? Honestly after I step in X50 & test drive, similar price range car even C-segment feels like a downgrade, its weird.

Honestly after I step in X50 & test drive, similar price range car even C-segment feels like a downgrade, its weird. As a Honda car onwer for last 6 years, the only good about it is the Engine only which give great FC. gB CVT most get claim under warranty especially city, HRV. Parts are suck nowadays after most part were made in Thailand. Brake juddering is a general problem happened to most Honda model. Solution is by using aftermarket brakepad. SC attitude also problem and need to find very honest sc based on owner share info. Example Semenyih SC Honda is totally suck. Leaking oil under the porch is considered normal for them. Myself also claimed 3 times driveshaft under warranty on my accord and once side mirror due to vibrating on high speed. Civic steering rack is also an issues yet to recall by honda. Btw most Honda do lack NVH even on highest model like Accord. This post has been edited by ayamxxx: Dec 11 2020, 01:09 PM

I wish proton/gkui can list out fm save station in group on 6 or 8 like Honda instead line up as now. Quite difficult to choose while driving
