all of my SA told me the flagship model should be priced below 100k

for all model variant should be from 75k to 99k

I think proton is playing the marketing game with Honda & Nissan
all waiting for their competitor to release their price first only then they'll adjust their launch price

Yeah wondering this too. If this year all fully booked d can't get SST exemption then feels like no point rushing also.

more than 20k bookings now, lets say half cancel booking
left you 10k bookings, proton only can deliver around 3k to 4k cars per month
Nov 3k + Dec 3k
you do the math...

I'm one of the day 1 booking customer, loan already approved, went to see see and touch the car yesterday

No doubt the first impression for the car is good, it looks very good at first glance, but once I go into the car, first thing I've noticed is the ugly weld mark on the door that many has seen. The more time you spend in the car the more flaws you'll noticed, giving me the impression the car looks good on the outside, but skin deep there could be lots of flaws we can see.
Also the price for the premium spec is not what I expected, was expecting it to be within 80k range.
Lastly... the SA couldn't promised the "paksa-rela" add-on package as compulsory or not, as well as can't promise the car to be delivered within this year to enjoy the SST discount.
So with all those uncertainty, and higher than expectation price, decided to cancel my bookings.

We walked over to next H* showroom, saw their lower priced new model, got ready stock, IMO also got much better aftersales support & RV, so booked that on the spot and will get it within next month.

Nope, not getting it, too many uncertainties
workmanship are below expectation too
I can't accept the ugly welding on the door too
