Hamburger Hypersonic February 2, 2020 Share February 2, 2020 Get accredited and show the world that it's product is as safe as a Volvo. Milo tin is not something that you want your car to be associated with. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartbreakid 6th Gear February 2, 2020 Share February 2, 2020 It is a good idea to bring in those models collaborated with Geely, not those Saga, Persona... And if the pricing is right, with Geely backing, Proton can be competitive here. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kia7200 5th Gear February 2, 2020 Share February 2, 2020 Tax, Parf and Coe took up majority of the selling price The price diff compare to a reasonable priced Korea car should be just few k.

Anyway, the market in S'pore is not that interesting as well. If they can focus and sell averagely in bigger countries, the results would be more fruitful.

Jamesc Hypersonic February 2, 2020 Share February 2, 2020 Proton can only survive in Msia because of local car tax breaks. With Proton you hear all the excuses. We are a small company, we have a small local market, we don't have economies of scale, R&D cost a lot of money. The excuse you never hear is we have lousy managers and lazy workers and we don't know what quality control is. I always like to hear hard truths. I miss it. 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
