[QUOTE="drMpower, post: 2134584, member: 28410"] do we need a national car? yes we do. national cars bring the lot - engineering aspects, knowledge, improving the human capital, etc,etc. no to mention dissappointment and deficits. proton is not beyond repair. what we need is a serious business. let them do the business. what we have been doing for the past 20 years is that, mixing business with politics. and that don't combine well. it doesnt sell. politicians do politics. politicians cannot do business. proton sell and design cars. so let proton do that. free hand. and free proton from the hands of the government. meaning they had to survive on their own. and of course, if they lose, so, be it. the germans started all this approximately 100 years ago. and now, they are the darlings of autoworld. we only started 20years++ and that 20 years++ is not doing business. nationalism? patriotism? don't be kidding. We are like the germans - we dont care about patriotism - we just buy what ever want regardless of the where it comes from. So, dont compare Proton with the likes of Honda and Toyota or Kia. They got people of their own to support them. there is a growing concern that some people don't want proton to recover. dont ask me why. all i know is that Proton is sitting on a landbank worth 1 billion dollars. so, again, business middled with politics and money. the threat starter tell stories about China sold 7 million cars a year? well, of course they can because the Chinese are more than 1 billion in population alone! and also, being Chinese, they do BUSINESS. no politics. no hanky panky. nothing. dollar and cents. do you know, beside India and Hong Kong, China produced almost 300,000 new millionaires every year? dont know? Business Week, Feb 6, 2006. check the facts. So, Proton, start doing business. [/QUOTE]
