a report in the EDGE business paper says that DRB-HICOM and NAZA group could takeover Proton, as the government wants tp ensure that Proton stays in Malaysian hands.
after the failed 1st negotiation, proton and VW are back on the table again. this time its about proton EON becoming a distributor for VW cars in Malaysia. some VW models may even be assembled locally, sources revealed. could we finally lay our hands on a hot VW jetta or passat?
proton suggested to the government to scrap cars that are more than 10 years old…..in return the government will give a “voucher” of rm5,000 but only to purchase “national” read: proton cars..
thailand express their unhappiness over malaysia’s insistence in imposing “excises duties” and “AP” on made-in-tahiland cars. so did the indonesian and phillipines. however rafidah has denied this, and insist that thailand lowered its “imprt tax” on malaysian-made cars to 5% AFTA from current 20%. however, she didnt mention about the “65-120%” excise duty charges imposed on ASEAN-sourced cars. a toyota vios cost only about rm45,000 in thailand but after excise duty, about rm85,000 locally!

new front grille, but still same concaved-shaped headleamps

US version comes with destination LCDs

overall shape stays the same

notice the audi lines. the rearlight seems to have revert-back to the models of the 90s.

what do you think about the design? do you prefer the accord or camry? for me the accord looks far more sporty and young.
