You find it shocking? Me too.
Believe it or not, this is the latest finding of a brand reliability survey by the Which? Car magazine as published in its July 2008 edition.

I personally think, 17 out of 37 car manufacturers is NOT TOO BAD for a small manufacturer like Proton. At least, Proton cars are more reliable than the French, Italian, Spanish and Swedish cars.
Congratulations, Proton and continue to do us proud with better quality and innovative cars. Malaysia Boleh!
On a unrelated matter, hehehe, I would like to announce that I'm going to Italy next week!!! Insya-Allah, will be flying from Liverpool to Venice and will be staying in Venice for two nights. Then, my next stop will be Pisa to see the infamous Leaning Tower. After Pisa, I will travel to Rome by train and, insya-Allah, will be staying there for three nights. Please wish me a safe journey because I'm a bit nervous with this part III of my Europe Tour, considering that I'll be doing it all by myself.
Caio!

during a luncheon talk that was given by Proton's GM of Product Mktg Division, he mentioned that the new Proton approach is no more promises or self proclaimed bragging rights. Nowadays they want their products speak on their behalf. I guess looking at the recent report, they are almost there.
