  2. Remember the statement I wrote in this previous article about the BMW 5 series M-Sport accessories? I stated that there are those that dream of owning a M5 but can afford a 525, 530 or that sort so they add on the M-Sport bodykits so that their car looks more like an M5 instead of looking like the bread and butter base models. This are people working within their means, and so is this chap who's now selling his Audi Saga 1.3A on a Malaysian buy-sell site. This chap is really working within the scope of what he can afford as he has decided that his Proton Saga 1.3A is actually an Audi. Lots of work, money and time was spent on making this 'Audi'. He must have sat down and thought really hard, "Since I cannot afford that A4, I will build myself one". Check out the front end with the LED daytime running lights, that 'Nuvolari' front one piece grill, driving lights and that split front spoiler like the one on an A4. I suppose this meter cluster with its 'P' and some other lights is the car's MMI (Audi Multi-Media Interface). The car, as I stated above is being sold on a Malaysian buy-sell site. I believe the owner realised that whatever he did to the car will not turn it into an Audi. Anyway, if this was really an Audi this is the dumpiest looking 'Audi' ever made and the only time you'd see me driving the Audi Saga is if my life depended on it

  4. Talks between Volkswagen and Malaysian automaker Proton have broken down without the two sides coming to an agreement on a partnership, according to multiple published reports. The decision by Volkswagen to pull out of talks in favor of "other priorities" led to a drop in Proton's stock by over five percent. This is actually the second time the German automotive conglomerate and Proton held meetings. The two sides first discussed the development of a strategic partnership back in October 2004, with talks fizzling-out in January 2006, before totally collapsing by November 2007. The dive in Proton's shares during Asian stock trading appears to demonstrate investor uncertainty in the company's ability to grow and develop. "Proton's need for a strategic partner to leverage on to enter the global export market is crucial at this juncture before Proton gets further left behind by the competition," firm OSK Research told Forbes. Of recent years, there seemed to be a lack of new proton models in Singapore. Will Dr M

  8. Proton has gone bonkers. On 30th March 2010, Proton launched a RM115,000 Proton Satria Neo called the R3 Lotus Racing Edition based on the Satria Neo CPS that is selling in Malaysia for RM60,000 at the very most. This edition celebrates Proton's involvement with Lotus Racing and is on sale in Malaysia and is limited to only 25 units. The car boasts a spec sheet that is impressive as over the top (really, really expensive) performance parts are utilized where possible. This very expensive Proton will come with the R3 (Proton

  10. One of the biggest surprises yet. Proton has revealed that they will be sending a Hybrid Concept to the Geneva Motor Show. And the news gets even better, this particular concept was penned in collaboration with Giugiaro, the Italian designer who has nothing short of an illustrious portfolio with the beautiful Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT in 1972 to the 159 we know today, even the first Golf and Scirocco was penned by the great man. Of course it wasn't just done by him alone, but by his company. And now, there's the Hybrid Concept from Proton. Will that be a spot of rust on his gleaming trophy of designer excellence? Giugiaro says that the concept car is

  14. Malaysia's Proton, Volkswagen close to tie-up: report Posted: 07 June 2007 1626 hrs KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's ailing national carmaker Proton and Germany's Volkswagen AG are close to sealing a tie-up that will likely see the German auto firm take a 51 per cent stake in its key assets, a report said Thursday. Citing unnamed sources, The Edge Financial Daily said a new company would be created which will see Volkswagen, Europe's biggest carmaker, controlling key operations with the 51 per cent stake. Proton Holdings will hold the remaining 49 per cent in the new company, which would encompass key assets including British subsidiary Lotus, as well as manufacturing, research and development, and engineering activities, the report said. A 42.7 per cent stake in Proton Holdings currently held by the government's investment arm, Khazanah Nasional, may also be taken over by state-linked conglomerate Sime Darby, The Edge reported. The newspaper said details were expected to be finalised at a meeting underway in New York between representatives from Volkswagen, Khazanah, Sime Darby and the prime minister's office. With Volkswagen's expertise and platforms, the new company is expected to launch new Proton models under the Malaysian carmaker's brand name while most of the existing ones will be phased out, it said. Proton officials declined to comment on the report while Khazanah executives were not immediately available. Proton's share price was sharply higher Thursday on the news. At the morning close, Proton was up 0.95 ringgit (0.28 cents) or 16.24 per cent at 6.80 ringgit. Malaysia's government has been under intense pressure to announce details of a partnership for Proton in a bid to provide it with expertise to arrest a sharp decline in market share. The company last year lost its status as Malaysia's biggest-selling automaker to rival Perodua, another homegrown manufacturer. Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said on May 31 that talks with Volkswagen had failed but the next day a senior government official said negotiations were back on after Volkswagen requested a final round of talks. A senior government official said last month that talks were also continuing with US automaker General Motors Corp. Analysts said a deal with VW would bring no immediate relief for Proton. In a note to clients, Hwang-DBS Vickers Research said a partnership with Volkswagen remains the preferred scenario, but "a gestation period of 18 to 24 months may be necessary in order for operational turnaround to take effect." TA Research said a tie-up with Volkswagen is "a step forward for Proton but it will still have to endure some pain in the short term due to huge inventories and declining sales." Malaysian ministers have acknowledged that Proton needs a foreign manufacturing partner which would bring the necessary expertise to help turn around the company's fortunes. At the same time they have expressed reservations about ceding control of a key national asset, although The Edge Financial Daily said such views were changing in the face of Proton's loss-making performance. Proton last week reported larger than expected net losses of 591.36 million ringgit (US$174 million) for the year to March 2007. The carmaker blamed weak sales and higher production costs for a reversal from the previous year's profit of 46.69 million ringgit. The government has so far missed two self-imposed deadlines to announce a partner for Proton. Previous talks with PSA Peugeot Citroen of France and Mitsubishi of Japan were unsuccessful. Proton's market share has fallen sharply in recent years due to the whittling away of duties that have made imports more affordable, and a persistent reputation for poor quality and unimaginative models. [/color] It seems like Proton had no choice but to give up majority share holder. Hope change name to Volksproton.
  15. The latest news from the land down under is that Proton will be phasing out the current Wira-based Proton Jumbuck (known as the Proton Arena in Malaysia) over the next few months in preparation for the launch of an all-new Jumbuck. According to the story, the new Jumbuck/Arena will be based on an existing passenger car platform. It would make sense for Proton to base the new Jumbuck on the Exora

  22. KUALA LUMPUR - MALAYSIA'S national auto maker Proton said on Monday it was recalling 34,000 Savvy supermini cars because of malfunction risks. In a statement, Proton said there was a possibility of water entry into the rear wheel bearing that could lead to a malfunction of affected components. 'As a precautionary measure, we are recalling all Savvys for inspection and repair,' Proton Managing Director Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir said in the statement issued through the national news agency Bernama. The statement did not give details of any complaints reported so far. The company urged Savvy owners to bring their vehicles for free inspections at its centers. -- AP
