this guy explaining the inside story of proton....from yahoo group

Assalamualaikum,
Yang ni saya kena jawab la sebab banyak sangat misinformation. Biasanya
information yang berpindah dari satu mulut ke satu mulut yang lain akan
berubah menjadi sensasi. Itu lah masyarakat kita. Kita bukan mendapat
firsthand info tapi berdasarkan cerita yang telah ditokok tambah. Ini dia
cerita dari orang dalam yang duduk ditengah tengah R&D PROTON.

KKK..ada kenalan dari kastam boleh confirmkan perkara ni..member atuk
kerja kastam kat kelang dan beliau sendiri yang maklumkan yg salah satu
tugas dia adalah buat checking penerimaan barangan proton untuk di
pasangkan di negara ni. Satu kontena enjin je..manakala kontena lain
adalah pintu, body dan sebagainya. sama lah dengan kereta lain juga.

Kalau kita lalu kat kawasan glenmarie tu, akan ternampak lah satu tandaK
Kilang Enjin Proton. Tanda tu tak duduk kat situ untuk suka suka je.
Kalau kita jengok kat dalamK. Boleh nampak besi cair yang dituang kedalam
acuan untuk membuat enjin block. Memang proton ada mengimpot enjin tapi
dari kelas 1.2 dan 2 liter. 1.2l untuk Savvy (enjin Renault) dan 2l untuk
Perdana. Tapi untuk enjin 1.3, 1.5, 1.6 proton buat sendiri. Untuk pintu
pulakK hanya kereta kereta Perdana sahaja yang proton beli pintu dari
Mitsubishi. For your information, Untuk membuat pintu sahaja memerlukan
dekat 20 acuan. Bayangkan lah 4 pintu. Modal itu shaja sudah hampir
RM50juta. So untuk kereta yang volume kecil, kita beli dari luar. Untuk
kereta Isawara, Wira, Waja, Gen2, SavvyK 100% body dibuat di Malaysia.

Bayangkan dah 20 tahun menanti kereta Malaysia yang sebenarnya tak keluar-
keluar lagi.Bagi yang berkemampuan sudah tentu tak mahu menggunakan injin
kenderaan berteknologi 70an, 80an dan 90an yang diubahsuai. Sudah tentu
ramai nak teknologi terkini dan sebenarnya milik kita. Secara umumnya
proton masih belum ada enjin sendiri lagi..jadi adalah sukar hendak
dikatakan kalau ianya adalah kereta Malaysia yang sebenarnya. Pengeluaran
kenderaan adalah berdasar injinnya barulah boleh dikatakan ianya
kenderaan negara sebenarnya.

Disini lagi ada misinformation. Memang untuk kereta Perdana kita impot
enjin dari Jepun. Untuk Savvy kita guna kan enjin Renault. Untuk Isawara,
Wira dan Waja kita buat enjin di Malaysia walaupun design original dia
dari Mitsubishi. Tapi enjin Gen-2 adalah enjin terkini yang di reka oleh
jurutera Proton dan dibina di Malaysia. Enjin tersebut menggunakan
teknologi terkini. Jadi kenyataan diatas agak menyesatkan sedikit. Naza,
PeroduaK. Masih lagi membawa enjin dari luar. Modal untuk mereka dan
mengeluarkan enjin ni amat besar. Nak dapat return pun bukan nya sekejap.
Tapi demi maruah dan kemajuan, kita korbankan keuntungan jangka pendek.
Selagi kita tidak mengeluarkan enjin sendiri..selagi itu kita tidak tahu.
Sekarang kita telah pun mengeluarkan enjin sendiriK orang masih tidak
percaya. Itu lah masalah orang kitaK memandang rendah kebolehan anak
negara sendiri.

Selama ini proton bergantung kepada Mitshubishi sebagai rakan teknikal.
Oleh kerana kontrak selama 20 tahun telah tamat. Maka proton terpaksalah
mencari rakan teknikal yang baru dan bermulalah masalah melanda proton.
Sudah tentu rakan teknikal baru tidak mahu meneruskan rekaan dan
teknologi mitshubishi lagi. So apa kan jadi pada kereta proton yang ada
sekarang ni untuk masa akan datang.

Tidak wujud kontrak 20 tahun dengan Mitsubishi. Mereka adalah rakan
kongsi. Bertahun tahun kita berkerjasama dengan Mitsubishi tetapi
teknikal apa yang mereka turunkan. Kalau kita pernah berkerja dengan
orang Jepun atau Korea, mereka inilah yang paling kemut ilmu. Tapi bab
nak korek ilmu kita, dia orang rajin habis. Atuk jangan terkejut bila
saya cakap yang idea kita pun banyak yang Jepun curi. So bila kita mula
menuntut teknologi baru dari merekaK mula lah nak caj dan nak ikat
royalti yang tak munasabah. Nak mintak copy teknikal drawing zaman dulu
sekeping pun dia orang caj beribu ribu.

Saonlyy,
kaw2 until 35k!

if they declare ard RM25k then selling price should be ard RM60k

the dealers/importers here declare lower price to cut taxes but
declare higher prices when selling to customers blaming the G!
G also is to blame for their exorbitant taxes but dealers..aiyo,please la.
Dun add salt to the wound!
d studP
PPXS3o know what we are actually paying for in a car these
days. Take for an example the 407 - actual cost is only around Euro6795
but with everything added in as follows.....

Euro 6795 x 4.9565 = 33,679.42
Freight Insurance = 92.61
Port Charges = 22.00
CIF Value = 33,794.03 (cost, insurance, and freight)
Import Duty (100%) = 33,794.03
Excise Duty (70%) = 23,655.82
Total = 91,243.88
Sales Tax (10%) = 9,124.39
Total Cost = 100,368.27

Car Selling Price = 159,500.00
Cost = 100,368.27
Profit = 59,131.73 ???


In another words, to buy myself one car, I also have to buy two
for the goverment, and another two more for the car importer/dealer.



they can even lower the price 25% if they want.it is just they don`t want
to reduce their big fat profit.
u think they sell cars as what they stated on paper?No profit?c`mon
guys,They always blame the G la,tax la but what abt their big fat margin?


This is another example:

Tax for 2005
---------------
Toyota Vios 1.5G A
Price before tax : 31,800
Import tax : 0 (0% import tax 2005)
----------
Price with import duty = RM31,800
Excise Duty : 28,620 (90% excise duty 2005)
----------
Price with Excise duty = RM60,420
Sales Tax : 6,042 (10% sales tax)
----------
Price with Sales tax = RM66,462
Plus Accessories 12,595
----------
Retail Price = RM79,057 (without reg., road tax, insurance)
======
OTR Price for Vios `05 = RM81,815.70

so,where is their profit?sell cars for free aa?


its nothing really wrong with dealers making excessive profits as is
a \"free market\" as supposedly is - but this thread is abt whether dealers
are making alot esp from each car - and the simple answer is yes and esp
so for perceived \"high class\" cars like that of the perceived 3-pointed
star. Thats it. probably shd put in on the rich or noveau rich to keep
the perception-only that only some cars are \"elite\" and therefore allow
the dealers to make tons out of them; which the dealers shd from such
shallow headed people. Frankly a supposedly prestige manufacturer that
also makes common buses, lorries, mini-vans and even small cars - is
not \"prestigious\" enough - afterall a bus driver can also say he\'s
driving a merc and so does a van driver - alongside a driver driving a
basic E200 merc.

it is ok to make profit but be realistic la.
eg vios price from 35k factory price sell at 81k market price how come?

factory price must be around RM15-20k only.So this toyol guys mark up
kaw2 until 35k!

if they declare ard RM25k then selling price should be ard RM60k

the dealers/importers here declare lower price to cut taxes but

People primarily complains about proton's lack of quality & poor after
sales service especially at EON SC not about design or even R&D. Whether
proton designs or outsources its design, it's not an issue to consumers
like us. What consumers want are good quality (mechanical, comestic,
etc), reliable and value for money cars. so, what this guy from proton is
mumbling about? We are consumers at the end of day. period.

1. Dunno what is this proton guy trying to prove or tell us.
2. Who is he and why he is so pro-proton.
3. Why and whom he wanna to bluff!!
4. Why is he filled with so many excuses for Proton weakness?

My advices to him:

1. Don't blame consumers if you cannot make decent car!
2. Don't blame the 'social responsibility' for the lousy cars!
3. Patriotic has nothing with buying proton! Unless we want to turn this
country in another communist society


If anyone so happen to meet him, ask him this question "Can proton design
a good door panel?"

p/s: When I took out a Waja door panel, I was shocked to find out that
there are so many screws to hold the top and bottom part together! Can't
proton think of any other method of joining? Or if they can't join (of
course screws will work but vibration will cause the part to come loose),
reduce the number or parts! No wonder this proton guy was saying that a
lot more mould and dies are required by Proton than any other caf mfgr!

Say no more, prove it.

Air Bag
Disc Brake All Round
Twin Cam engine
Branded Rims
ABS, EBD and EA

Unfortunely,
wira 1.3 and 1.5 still poor in quality after ten years production.

Power window stuck, interior and exterior noises, brake problem lar,
accident terus mati.

Please take note of the quality that should be improve.
DON'T START TO CONVINCE PEOPLE IF NOTHING IS DONE TO SOLVE THE PREVIOUS
PROBLEMS!!!Dead

Biggest crap !
I worked in a Proton MAJOR VENDOR and we can go in out & have meeting
with R&D ppl also. Japanese curi my foot! Proton didn't even have
original CAD designs. They passed us files which cannot join! opened ends
we can't even make molds! most these files are from overseas not from R&D
as most also donno how to use the workstations! they even asked us help
them to convert those imported files! I talked to a Jap R&D engineer he
says the ppl there lazy to learn always asking for spoon feeding! See
there's always two sides of a story....

Nak mintak copy teknikal drawing zaman dulu sekeping pun dia orang caj
beribu ribu. Mula lah kita pandang teknologi dari barat dan teknologi
sendiri. Sebab itu kita beli Lotus.. Kita ignore Jepun.


Talk is big! So now have Lotus would Proton sell any Lotus designed
drawings to a China car mfg for few hundred ringgits only ????? Cakap
Besar senang!
