Proton recalls in the UK (Warning: May contain Proton bashing)

[minivan]

With VW coming in and ultimately calling the shots for our "national product", it looks like we still need a foreign whip to set things right.

its not the case for everything here... its just for the freakin proton issue...

if you want cases where we did better, take the national economic policy for one. If we took the bullshit IMF advised, our country would be in debt 2-3 folds, with minimal growth for years...

anyway, in the long run it would be better for all. A few top mgmt guys lose jobs. The masses will remain. VW is not gonna bring in a few thousand guys from Germany to replace the factory workers, thats just stupid... proton can prosper, better income for all.

Look at volvo as a case study. In trouble and sold off to GM. Now prospering. And its still Swedish in all eyes, right?? Just like proton, its still gonna be Malaysian...

"Kia or Hyundai" - *buzzer* Wrong answer.

"Toyota or Honda" - *bling* Right answer.

i was thinking about those who can't afford to strech for a honda or toyota, rather than getting a waja or gen2, ur probaly better-off with a korean...

 

[ehaab]

still dont go with the koreans...they still produce useless cars...i think the only korean car thats good is the Hyundai Coupe(triburon)...
stick with the japanese and europeans...

 

[ehaab]

otherwise go with second hand honda's toyota's or mitsu's...always the better choice!!!

Sigh... Like everybody else here, I feel really, really tired. I am sick of bashing Proton - it's like banging my head against a wall. *Bang! Bang! Bang!* At the end of the day, my head hurts and nothing else has changed. Proton is still the same useless, brainless company that produces 20 year old cars with absolutely no Quality Control - TUV or not. I have complained until I have lost my voice, still Proton ignores me... What's the point?

Thus, I am going to work hard and earn more money - this way, I can afford a better car.

My ultimate dream is to be the richest man in Asia. Then, I will launch a nationwide campaign, I will give everyone in Malaysia who is planning to buy a Proton RM50,000 so they can afford to buy an imported car - any car, as long as it's not a Proton. This way. I want to ensure that Proton sells 0 cars and has no choice but to start listening to us poor downtrodden Malaysians.

Message to Proton: You cannot sell shit cars to your own people.

The fact is that most products are shitly made to local products, way better for export.

Of course they don't need to bring in thousands. All they needed for the Savvy was Hans Sauerkraut.
