Someone's Got A New Car... Gen.2

I hope Jackson a.k.a. Khay Hoi does not kill me for posting this here. He's gotten his new wheels. Yups! The all new Proton Gen.2 with the Campro engine. Locally produced from chassis, the engine, the interior and the design, born and bred in Malaysia. Went with him yesterday to collect his 'Dune' coloured Gen.2. Whole afternoon the salesman was rushing him to come in and sign the papers, telling him that his car was ready. When we finally got there, it was a totally different story. Sure the car was sitting in the showroom, but guess what? The number plate wasn't even on it! And we were ushered in, had to sit a good half an hour while the salesman put the letters and numbers onto an empty license plate holder! Great! All the rushing and we had to wait for him to complete this task... slowly I might add.

Once the papers were signed, we went to check the car and all. Must say, it does look nicer than the one in the picture. The interior was a little.. hmm, how do I put it? Harsh? The fabric doesn't exactly scream comfort, but it was designed to be sporty in nature. I shall not compliment the car anymore, but with all the warnings that Jackson's been given about the complaints of this little new addition to Proton's stable, he should be able to give the benefit of the doubt that this indeed is a nice car.

The ride in the car feels rather bumpy, probably from the sports tuned suspension to give it a more sportier nature. But do we really need harder spring rating with all the potholes and the uneven road surfaces in Kay Elle? I shall not comment on this anymore as Proton's engineers have spent hours and countless resources in R&D to develop this new car. I guess at the end of the day, it's a car that fits the needs of someone on a budget and looking for a new car.

My final say, "Dude. Enjoy the new ride!"
