straight from the getgo...this national car mindset was already a trap IMO.

it still is...with so many exchange hands and still no proper success(?)

if Geely wasn't interested in Lotus tech/IPs, they couldn't care less about Proton.

What do they get ?...

no market in international countries, spent millions in promo in EMEA, Australia, UK....sold less than a million in all this countries combined for the last 2 decades. Highest was 140k in TOTAL sales, in UK from 1989 til 2016....

LOL....
Before saying, we are not Hyundai, not TATA, not VW, not Suzuki....then fark why have such a big head and pocket?....we could have been like Thailand regional car assembly, huge jobs , parts, knowledge, automotive industry....instead of ONE big Tg malim factory.

yeah...was it self-enrichment program ???....lol. Place your bet.
