Proton is an automotive company that came into being in the Early 80's. This company as I know it was a project of the Malaysion Government, and its creation was spearheaded by Mahatir Muhammad himself. Intially they produced cars with technical assistance of Mitsubishi. They then started developing their own cars in the late 90's. Now Proton is a force to be reckoned with. They received a major boost when they bought Lotus Engineering of U.K. Imagine receiving over I think more than 60 years of automotive research knowledge on a plate. Because of this move they can now boast of developing cars with world class engines handling and dyanmic stability totally inhouse.
Proton is no chucha company, this is serious kicking Japanese a** stuff.
If you know what I mean!!!!
