  they have a car manufacturing industry that is unable, that was i beg your pardon before this campro engine , to design their own engine. but they have a oil company that have a saloon car engine which it's local automotive industry doesn't use.
  
  anyway abt the GEN 2, there were reports that the showroom model protons sent were indeed a showcase of malaysia's automotive industry. if i'm not wrong, can check malaysiakini, the peps who went for the launch of GEN2 were quite Du lan when they realised that they can't close the front doors of the showcased model properly.

  the 1st shipments have been delayed. rumour has it that there are problems with the automatic gear box ..... although, it's a car produced from my country, and i should be proud of it ..... why am i not surprised it's having problems?
  
  well ..... gotta give them some time i guess ......
