[QUOTE="FVel, post: 2270107, member: 48425"] Yes I agree. It is nice to have some sporty 2-door cars, but those are really meant for the niche market. The majority of the public will want something a bit more practical for the family. Perodua has no sporty 2-door in its line-up but they are nevertheless doing very well because they are focused on meeting what the market wants. Having a motorsports division such as R3 is nice but at the end of the day it won't pay the bills and it won't bring in the sales. They plan on releasing Satria R3s in very limited numbers to preserve exclusivity. Well, that gives Proton some bragging rights but really nothing of substance that will help their current financial situation. Similarly they spent plenty of money to get Lotus to build that one-of-a-kind Lotus Exige 300RR GT car (the same one Djan drove and won at MME 2005 and 2006). It proves nothing. Nothing against Djan's abilities as a driver but that 300RR has so much more grunt than the 2nd place finisher at MME, it would be like comparing apples vs oranges. I always get a good laugh when Proton likes to go advertise that their car won MME in 2 consecutive years. Besides just ensuring the car lasts the whole race, of course lah they will win the MME. After all, how many MME competitors do you know who can pour in so much money to commission Lotus to custom build from the ground up just ONE car that comes with a big disparity of hp over the nearest competitor.
