[QUOTE="deacon, post: 775428, member: 12923"] according to overseas reviews proton malaysia gets the raw end of the stick. places like Uk and Aus get better build quality which is why buying a proton isnt such a bad deal ... locally we get our asses raped :bath: by proton cos they care more about the foreign market. they believe they can produce a good mass market car in other countries because of the simple fact that malaysia's own population can not support a car manufacturer let alone 2 car manufacturers (perodua in this case). Korea has no such problem because they have a population over 40 million last i checked which is more than enough to sustain a car industry given that they are more advanced in civilisation and technology (alright maybe just in Seoul but it makes a difference). back on the engine front for proton mitsubishi did some what take proton to the cleaners with the royality charges. had proton struck the same type of deal that Dodge and DSM (diamond star motors aka mitsubishi) where they sell designs to be produced under shared company name included in that deal is profit sharing so mitsu didnt have to go into regions where they would have to pay a lot to setup a factory saving costs. ack i digress again. engines engines engines. why havent we gotten a wicked ass engine like the mivec 1.6 or the mivec 2.0 v6 is because malaysia doesnt want to encourage its population to race around in fast cars. its still better than french engines though. the debate continues so many threads end up in a big bitching session against proton heh we should make one thread that is called 'bitch at proton thread' [/QUOTE]
