@ahmadbila:
the reason proton was beaten by local junk is mainly because when a new car company enters the market, they cant just expect to be silent about it and people will buy their cars... you have to create some serious awareness about the product. sure the proton gen 2 was a pretty nice looking car but if you look at their other line up they look like the 80s corollas... if you want to compete and kick the ass of the local junk market, you have to come out with a product which is top of the line, innovative, competitively priced, and real eye candy for people like me
