Frost & Sullivan project increase in Proton sales, new MPV could be the saviour

Yeah bloody right.

Like any man with 120k is going to buy a Proton. If any man respects his dignity, his family and his wallet, he wouldn't buy a Proton.

For heavens sake, must I spell it out for you?

P-E-O-P-L-E H-A-T-E P-R-O-T-O-N.

And no over-priced MPV is going to help.

For 8x,xxx you can get an MPV from the Chinese manufacturer, Chery. The Eastar (forgive the name) comes with a leather interior (as standard) and comes with most of the safety mod-cons that you get in a mid-level vehicle.

And here's the kicker: The Proton MPV will be produced on the SAME platform as the Chery.

So why are we paying so much more for a shit car when you can pay less for a great one?

For once, I think Frost & Sullivan might be REALLY wrong about this.

And I know for a fact that if Perodua came out with an MPV, Proton is sooooooooo screwed.
