QUOTE(frossonice @ Mar 7 2022, 11:47 AM) Why would Italdesign design Ferrari? You are mistaken it with Pininfarina that designed Ferrari a lot. Azlan was sent to Italdesign to give input from Proton perspective. summore when you have syiok sendiri ceoNever a fan of any of Azlan designs and his view on car design also doesn't excite me. That was why we keep getting tall kontot car with huge aquarium windows and windshields. Even Exora suffered from this even thought they based the design on Toyota Wish. ![]() ![]() This post has been edited by JimbeamofNRT: Mar 7 2022, 12:15 PM |

QUOTE(motion_sickness @ Mar 7 2022, 12:28 PM) but really its a fun car to drive (as long you dont cheapskate on maintenance) . looks friendly but can bite the road I have driven waja, preve , saga blm and saga vvt for a short time. and yes the handling is good ( comparing to other local cars like perodua , which is basically a sampan on the road ) . till today im still wondering why so much hate for suprima. its not perfect but it does what it does, so far i had no big issue, yet my favorite weekend route would be kuala pilah - kuala klawang- seremban as well as Federal Route 59 tapah-cameron but refinement is just not there. you will find some odd things about the car. like saga vvt. why cant the bonnet have latch from the outside? yes they have fix it on the new saga 4at. but those kind of odd things is quite a turn off. and they never make a good seat materials, in this particular section perodua have better one ( except for axia and bezza, whoever design that uncomfortable seats should be sacked ) This post has been edited by JimbeamofNRT: Mar 7 2022, 12:38 PM Gigabit liked this post

QUOTE(diffyhelman2 @ Mar 7 2022, 12:34 PM) Hmmm. Coincidentally at the time waja tiara juara and some other crap models were introduced at that time that really started driving proton reputation down the drain. Before that at least iswara and wira still had Mitsubishi reliability. Maybe after mamak retired 1.0, everyone started to slack off without supervision? mahathir was still indirectly involved when he stepped down in 2002 as advisors/chairman till 2016![]() |

QUOTE(diffyhelman2 @ Mar 7 2022, 12:42 PM) Yarriteu think mahaleel can sit there till 2005 if he got no influence eh? btw old case https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/cove...les-rm5-million The events that led to the non-renewal of Mahaleel’s contract began when he stalled over signing a new contract offered by Proton’s board in March 2005. The board was then chaired by Datuk Mohammed Azlan Hashim. Mahaleel, a close ally of former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was reportedly unhappy with the terms of the contract, which were viewed as unfavourable compared to the previous contracts. It is understood that among the terms of the new contract that the Kelantan prince found unacceptable was a requirement that he keep daily notes of his work at Proton and to make these notes available to the board whenever required. It is no secret that the board was seeking to rein in Mahaleel, who was known for making decisions for Proton without prior board approval. The Proton board subsequently decided against renewing his contract. It is understood that the decision to settle with Mahaleel this time was influenced by Proton adviser, Mahathir, who has taken a more active role in Proton since the resignation of Azlan. A source tells The Edge that the board had initially planned on paying Mahaleel a smaller sum to settle the dispute, but this was subsequently raised to RM5 million upon the request of Mahathir.

QUOTE(k!nex @ Mar 7 2022, 06:51 PM) All the Preve I have come across in Grab car has a very bad wear on the fabric seats. Alot of bulu from worn fabric and broken auto gear knob. Not all Proton has this issue. At least not on my Inspira. the quality of the fabric is like really meh... same thing goes to saga blm/fl/even the current vvtI hardly see any Suprima around. For the looks, Preve is okay. Suprima share the same front as Preve, but the rear is ugly as heck. Same problem like the Savvy in the past. |
