They were selling so so well in their golden years when Proton is basically the people's only choice. then came P2, Korean and NAZA which took a crunch of their slice of pie... If the old old protons are still running, who to sell new protons to?? Overseas market is hopeless for Proton. For the same money, they have a lot more choices. Its only here that Proton has less competition in the same price segment. In other words, it is another jaguh kampung. Can't survive outside Malaysia. Proton can't survive long being a car maker, it doesn't have the economy of scale in this competitive industry. It is an industry where volume matters, low volume will drive cost per car up and makes it uncompetitive. It shud really consider taking on the role as assembly plant for other makes. That would be the long term survival plan.. But as long as TDM is around, he won't endorse Proton being an assembler for other makes.</blockquote>
