As I've mentioned earlier, Malaysians enjoy giving EXCUSES instead of getting things done. The same applies to Proton and government so if everyone thinks doing things this way works (after 51 years of Independence) then go on like that for another 50 years but we'll end up NO WHERE. Every time we fail on something we are blaming and pushing things elsewhere. What's the point? smile.gif

Seriously, Proton should get a life and start making better engine and cars. What's with all these stupid Proton Chancellor or Juara models (for example). They should understand what type of cars people wants, not design something they feel they enjoy doing. What's next? A lorry running a 1.6 Campro CPS engine?

Back to the MPV, we're talking about a 7 seater using the same engine as a Waja or Satria uses so I seriously can't imagine how it feels driving uphill with full load. Worse still is the price of the MPV which is a daylight robbery to all Malaysians.

Juara and Chancellor ?

Welcome to 2001 and 2005 smile.gif

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. smile.gif

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 laugh.gif

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