Because proton don't need a signature design, they are recognised and popular in many other wrong ways![]()
BMW have the 2 Kidneys like front grills as signature, while Audi other than the 4 rings, is the big mouth like design and also the headlights design.
But will be good if they have a signature design which one look ppl know is proton. Just like other makes.

Modern Protons have them. The wing on the grille.
Exora, Neo, Persona, FLX, Preve...

The original Tuah concept is much much more better. Did people get disappointed when they see the Preve launched?

Ya most of the time I see are wira and waja. Other brands not really common![]()
Not really identical or similar in design. Unlike BMWs a very obvious trademark/signature.
I surely got disappointed. Hopefully the new corolla doesnt differ much from the concept corolla.

how sure are we that there is manual gearbox ready for production for the CFE?pomen answered the gearbox price question. as for breaking even, CFE paired with manual, you would be making profit on every unit you sell. there's no "breaking even" because Proton already has the CFE engine and the manual gearboxes. There's no additional R&D costs incurred. Manual gearboxes are proven, bulletproof, the Punch VT3 is not. In fact, Proton is the FIRST car manufacturer to use the VT3, Proton is being a lab rat.
As for replacing the object with Preve. Frankly speaking, I don't know the answer. But educated guesses would be
+ For the love of God get the design right, like a Hyundai K3, New Mazda 3. As above, use Lotus designers.
+ Seriously, BUILT QUALITY is severely lacking, button popping off? Really?
+ Pricing. Proton cars are not competitive in price at all. To give you an idea, Hyundai and Kia first priced their cars cheap to enter the market, then now their selling price is on par with Toyota and Honda. In USA for example, during the last 10-20 years, Hyundai first fought with low pricing, 10 year warranty, but they had subpar design, engine and transmissions. Today, Hyundai is sometimes priced higher than Toyota & Honda, they have very good designs, and they have engines that share underpinnings with Mitsubishi.
Proton's mentality now is wrong, cause they compare themselves against Toyota and Honda. Don't "compare" yourself against them, cause that benchmark is too low. Aim against Mercedes and BMW. And make cars that rival Mercedes and BMW..then maybe you can win the fight against T&H
If your son study and aim to pass with 50%, the best he can do is maybe 60%. But if he targets 100%, the best he can do is 100%.
By doing the Satria Neo Turbo, you'll capture a market that has no competitor in Malaysia, and also in many countries. But that CFE engine needs to push more horses... 200bhp and you're golden. Bank on something you are good at, Proton (with Lotus) is good at handling, so make a seriously HOT hatch. Build something that beats the 208 GTi, Clio RS, Fiesta ST and Polo GTi. Seriously with Lotus and the expertise from the Super 2000, from Cusco.. if they cannot beat them, go bury themselves. Nissan (with Lotus's help) can build a car to beat Porsche, why can't Proton with Lotus build a car that beats a Ford. LOL.



Proton was planned to do car properly from the beginning
Is the cunt that suck all our money.
Never own and never will be a proton!
Easy for rich people to say.
Proton is just another car manufacturer headed by, a bunch of douchebags without PASSION for CAR, and didn't really understand the ART OF AUTOMOTIVE.
i've said enuff, but I can agree if those bunch should be replaced with people who likely has those 2 qualities. At least if Proton dies, it'll die with honor like Lancia or Saab. But in current position, it's just living no different than British's Reliant and Russia's LADA, and may die in disgrace like Rover.
Passion for car OR money?
