What makes you think I drive a Proton? Just because I'm criticizing with a goodwill with hopes that our national car industry would grow further makes you think I can't afford better cars? LOL!!! If someone tends to be defensive when people tells the truth then that person is at loss, not the person that comments. Remember that we're the master of our own destiny and successful people doesn't give excuses. This also applies to companies wanting to move forward.


You're very lost on this I don't think Malaysians wants crap cars. If MPV is what you want then get something made in China which is a lot cheaper as well. Why not? Because quality is also another concern in the Malaysians mind. As I've mentioned, typical Malaysian attitude of being defensive and full of excuses. I do not want to brag what I can afford to buy because that's not the point. The point is, if people are not able to see things rationally, there isn't much point to spend time explaining and convincing to them what's right. If you think a Proton is fairly priced then sure, by all means get it and vote for your favourite BN government. Everyone is entitled for their own opinion anyway.

Juara and Chancellor ?

Welcome to 2001 and 2005

I admit Proton did screwed up during Tengku Mahaleel era and our Premier back then was indoctrinating citizens to buy Proton just like 'Hail Nazi Hitler' made the first VW Beetle. The same method with South Korean government where they protecting their local auto industry.

Korean cars are sucks as well, in fact all pacific rims manufacturers are sucks like hell just like Jezza commented in Top Gear but it doesn't change the fact we still have room for improvement at least under Syed's regime.

The MPV introduction is just a start, we need a wide options of transportation in the catalog to cater the citizens eg: Bus, Minibus, 4wd Pickup,SUV, Van and etc.

Despite getting huge funds and financial backup from taxpayer's money, I'm quite positive with their current development now and hopefully one day we don't need to buy overpriced imports anymore.

FYI : I never owned a Proton but I will not hesitate to own one if they managed to win our hearts and trust again.


Earning more money just for the sake of getting a better car is like becoming a slave for the car itself

I'd say get within your budget, If you're financially capable of getting a new E90 Bimmer from Auto Bavaria, why not ?

i dun care what car you are driving or if u own a car or if you are still a kid.
even IF you got a bmw, a better car will still be there....

when it comes to this nation sorry car industry, everyone always hide behind "criticizing with a goodwill with hopes that our national car industry would grow further" excuse, no?
what will hiding behind that line above make the commentor looks like? saying the grape is sour because they could not get a piece of it?

and easily 90% of youngsters now is exactly that

Hey Clawhammer.... WHAT THE HECK YOU CRAPPING HERE?

This topic is regarding review/preview of Proton Exora, not Proton bashing. If you wanna screw Proton kau kau, go else where. If you have seen/drive an Exora before, then feel free to give your comment.

they say the design taken from wish,
so is the ride almost the same?

You are unable to debate constructively and you certainly don't see a point of positive criticism could help Dr. M posted a lot of such comments in his blog so do you think he loves the country or he's just trying to screw things up? I see that some of our leaders in parliament are plain crap and if our leaders could show that they have no quality, I seriously can't expect anything more from a forummer like you. As I say, you're the master of your own destiny so if you think you're doing it right then go ahead. At the end of the day, it is your loss, not mine (for having such attitude).

That's none of your business. This is not your forum nor mine and if you dislike then don't read what I posted They won't bring you to court or put you in ISA for not reading my posts and if you don't know what leads to this point, read further up in this thread on how it started. Please be matured, have well structured English posts instead of ranting like a low life. It doesn't help (at all)

not sure about the ride..gotta try it yourself..

but when it comes to handling, proton never failed to deliver good handling..

let's hope exora is a good car..if you're only bringing 4-5 people at one time, it shouldn't be a problem for this car

looks promising
will wait for the launching

wow wow wow... who is being immature here. HEY, OPEN YOUR EYES AND LOOK AT WHAT SUBFORUM IS THIS! If you wanna debate on things like Proton being protected by the government, Proton unable to advance after all this years... go ahead and debate to your heart's content at the "Real Word Issue" subforum, but not here. HERE, WE TALK ABOUT CARS...

and who is ranting here? YOU! ranting non-stop about how bad Proton is, how crap Proton cars are. In fact, you start ranting about our leaders, Dr.M, etc.... are you out of your mind?

and yes... since this is not your forum too... I can comment whatever I want on your posting....

Proton Exora go go !

Seriously from the way you posted, do you think people would think I'm immature and not you? LMAO. Please, look again at your posts and the more you post, it only shows your terrible English and level of education. As I've mentioned, read back a few pages before and see what leads to all these. I wouldn't explain the correlation between my posts with Proton Exora because it doesn't help since you have poor understanding of English. It's just like speaking to a wall that doesn't understand, lol.

ah another high and mighty personality we have here eh?


thinking that only you can debate constructively and not others while being blind to what is in your context, it is indeed your lost.

i feel sad for you to hide behind "criticizing with a goodwill with hopes that our national car industry would grow further" group.
IF you feel you can make a difference, go and make a difference. Don't be another what you put it, "malaysians".

indeed i really cannot expect anything from a mere forumer like you too.

just forget about that bugger. He should be posting all his "constructive criticism" at http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/334826, instead of spoiling this thread. I mean, people click into this thread because they want to know how good/bad is Proton Exora, not about our incompetent leaders and all that stuff. He just spoils the topic.

C'mon la.. We have to proud to Proton.. Not all country bulid car meh.. Especially the 3rd world country..even the 1st world country! Go!Go! PROTON!!

Way to go!

Well, I'll be more than happy if Proton can get recognition worldwide for producing good cars ... but maybe that's a thing of the future. But this is a good turning point, don't you think?

For a small country, we sure are good!

mana boleh ? wish got 1.8 n 2.0 while the exora is 1.6,well maybe one advantage is the mt transmission .

proton still has a long way to go but they are on a right track and need to improve further as time goes on

need to improve thier image with people also la . some people immediatley asscoiate proton with not safe . lol ;x

lets just see how this MPV fare after 1 year from its launch before the final judgement can be pass on it


booking numbers dont always translate to sales

dude i think the pretext ' you tak suka you keluar dari malaysia' is applied here to you.

Yes we live in a country where a honda city is almost twise its original price etc.


So since no one here want to stand up and revolt, just shut your mouth and accept things as it is. Your courage and determination and the fact u think its daylight robbery is only as good as the person hiding behind the computer in cyberspace.

To me, if i can afford a better car..why not? but 70k for a 7 seater is quite a good price considering ( And realising u are in malaysia and not in another cuntry)

and 10k more for japanase make..which one are u talking about?



And every new batch of cars have problems..even japanese like honda city and its gearbox......nothing is perfect. we wait we see and we experiment.

but for me, if i have such a big family and i need a simple budget weekend car..i'l take the proton exora anytime...70k, can carry 7 people....full load also can hit 160kmh....apa lagi lu mau
