they have tried and fail with the mitsubishi. Why would it be any different. They tried with the Lotus. And nothing good has come out of the " Lotus Tuned" Proton.

For engine no but for handling yes,I feel there's improvement on handling in the Campro era.For the Exora the bodyroll during cornering is little for a bulky MPV. -------------------- Its better to drive a small car with BIG brain rather than driving big car with NO brain at all!

I have to agree. I drive and Opel Astra which is tuned by the same Lotus tuner and surprisingly the feeling on straight and corners are similar.. when I test drove the Waja. So there are substance.. it's the cosmetics that fails them... |

The VW-proton talks failed before. I don't think it will succeed this time round either. Too bad, or else I'd gone ahead and gotten my Passat CC Coupe.

Yea the Passat CC Coupe seems like a cool car to have....at a decent price. I wonder why VW even wants to work with Proton in the first place. Incompetent company

Incompetent company Is not a bad option after all. Ready manufacturing facilities for them to venture into southeast asia countries. It will benefit us as consumer for sure.

VW cars like the passat/scirroco are known for parts problems? Are they durable?

Incompetent company Marketing bro,They're setting up plant in Malaysia as their Asean hub.Last year Malaysia overtake Thailand in production car volume also.Their planning is to sell VW cars at a reasonable price due to the hefty import tax by Malaysian Govt.Quite a smart move i shall say.If this plan materialise i wont be surprise if VW overtake Toyota sales for non-national car makes..

i think it is good for proton, definitely. proton can't make good cars because their brand and quality got problem. but whether vw will become cheaper that 1 i really dun know because u see japanese camry and thailand camry no price difference. because borneo motor never push thailand toyota to imporove quality and reduce price.
