[QUOTE="si|verfish, post: 786353, member: 2758"] prodigy, I think you are being a bit unfair as well...towards the bashers that is. Especially the last bit. I mean if I had a lot more money I would buy a more xpensive car. And not everybody likes buying second hand. This whole Proton bashing/hatred/whatever word you want to call it, has been quietly simmering for a while now. The people have been let down far too often. It wasn't as if Proton just started and immediately got criticised to death. Yes, there are unfair criticism of new products which have apparently improved but you reap what you sow. Even the great Mercedes is realising the err of their ways because it is beginning to hurt the brand. Now people have doubts about their products too. Brand power is everything. People tend to relate words to brands. Unfortunately, in the public eye, Proton = inferior quality. And you have to say it isn't unfounded. And I feel, like what Malaysians always do, we've just accepted it as it is, just grumbling away. The whole thing boiled over only recently because of certain factors which I'm not quite sure. Realisation that we are terribly shortchanged? Afta? Unmet expectations? Who knows? All I do know is that there is no smoke without fire. And if you want to blame anyone, it is Proton and the ones protecting them. [/QUOTE]
