Thanks to the Proton X50 to bring the car industry’s upgrade Level up to the Next Level & New Era Proton, Thanks Sir Mr Bobby Ang to sharing this video Kamsha Hamida Arigatuo
Sepang F1 track in my view is very well designed. Professional racers, trackday riders and spectators all enjoy the experience in their own ways and always come back for more.
The X70 is the beginning of a catalyst for Proton. It can only get better moving forward. Even the in coming X50 has improved features. Nothing can be declared as " norm" nowdays because things evolve dramatically in the automotive industry. Only those with true grit and determination to succeed will prevail. Geely made a comprehensive study about Proton before buying over the brand as they could forsee they can turn it around. Now I can say I'm proud of my National car. It has come of age!
Still think of National Car. It is Geely's car not National car. U only can say that is China car. Soon all the Proton cars will made in China. This also call Malaysia National Car, what i can say your face skin is very thick !!!!!!
@@pigdrivers Respect your opinion on the matter. I reserve mine. Foreign own or not? I still say it's better for Proton to be in it's current position rather than before? We have to face reality that almost everything now are made in China and gone are the days that China made products are below par? Now, they are even better than everybody else through sheer economic of scale. China evolve and simply dominate the world. Proton is just the beginning
@@hishamosman4341 Respect ??? U guys got respect China before Geely acquired 49.9% of Proton share. Until this moment still Proud of Proton really what the fuck !!!! So the Proud of Malay so call Proton will be fully Conquered by Geely. Whenever Geely defined Proton is useless to Geely, Geely will discontinue Proton. Believe it or not just accept it. Geely only interest to the Brand that bring benefit to Geely not the Brand which needs Geely replaced all the model of the cars. U go to wiki and read what is Geely then u will know how proud of your Proton !!!!!! Only Malay will have such thinking of Proud of Malay !!! Never thinking when is the Dooms day. Keep on your Pride and die with your Pride !!!!!
These things will greatly benefit the consumers! With this, leading car manufacturers will make their products more competetive without adding too much on the price tag. This Geely Coolray (X50) is becoming popular here in the Philippines. I hope Geely will introduce also the other features of X50 to the coolray. Thank you Mr. Ang for the wonderful videos and inputs. Keep up and God bless!
Fully agree! It’s not about pride anymore. Its business. So don’t let it go back to the old times please. When your sales and service compatible to JOEM, then you are winner in pride.
Imagine in short future proton factory will start to produce and export one of the most hot selling car to supply SEA market. It would help our country economy a lot and our people will enjoy advance car technology in reasonable price at the same time. How good is that be.
Wonderful. Even the continental brands would need to step up their game or else they'll get phased out. I am eagerly waiting for the day Proton/Geely start producing high performance variants with 300BHP+ with a 200k price tag.
If you are the Geely Boss, will you share your profit of 50.1% with Proton where Proton do nothing when the Geely cars sell to other countries ??? why not you sell to those countries by using Geely brand rather than Proton brand?? Can you overcome this logic ?
Well said Bobby. Great topic. I just join Proton as sales during RMCO and the perception surely change on the brand. Customers owners from Toyota. Honda, Perodua, BMW came to get one. Luckily am a proton supporter myself, makes it easier.... BTW, take care there bro. Get well soon... :p
@Ek no one asked you. We are not in denial that Malaysia is not that great yet. You don’t need to remind us as if we are not aware. Having said that, we also recognise that no country is perfect. Malaysia is my home. I will live and die here.
@Ek that's because Temasek is just an island more or less the same size as Pulau Pinang (M'sia+- 331,000 km² vs S'pore +-7700 km²), and Malaysia has a more varied geography compared to S'pore. To date Malaysia has had to build +-250,000 km of roads compared to +-9400km in S'pore and M'sia has built more schools (+-2400 vs +-190). So don't come here and 'berlagak bagus' when we did not split on equal footing (1965 S'pore v M'sia GDP/capita = USD 516 v 310, 9.5 million vs 1.9 million population at the time), Malaysia is 481 times bigger than Singapore and requires a lot more time and resources to develope (Sabah n Sarawak is still grossly under developed compared to peninsula). Even if M'sia n S'pore were equally rich, S'pore didn't have to spend as much on building basic infrastructure for the whole country. Not to mention not being sidetracked by having to face the existential threat of communism, and needing to expend resources to build capacity and capability to fight back. So go berlagak elsewhere la tolol.
Agree 100%, if Geely came to Malaysia as a stand alone company, it won't have any success, look at the other market like the Philippines, people tends to look at the brand. it's a win-win for both company.
If you are driving Japanese or Conti cars after your Waja, be prepared for the customer service quality of Proton. Doesn't mean don't buy Proton, just need to pre-condition our mindset that service staffs still is proton. **I am x70 owner.
hello pig Likely Geely will eat proton... Who's going to buy Geely brand car if it not sell under Proton badge.. If Proton can't sell their own innovation outside it will give more advantages to Geely compared to Volvo which can walk away with their innovations if they're not happy with Geely.
@@robloxstudiogamer5994 Do u know why Geely owned Volvo ??? Do u know why Geely owned 49.9% stake ??? Do u think Proton will have innovations ?? Do u really know what is innovations ?? If Proton has innovations do u think Geely will come into Proton ??? Geely totally cant accept the Proton innovations that is why decided to replace all the Proton Car models in near future. If Geely happy with the Proton's innovations why Geely wanted to make such decision ? After replaced all the Proton car models with Geely car models, what is the value of Proton to Geely at that moment is not able to manufacture a car and Geely has to pay 50.1% of revenue to Proton ????
hello pig I think you don't get it, don't you.. I clearly said if Proton can't sell out their product well outside/overseas it will be win for Geely. Proton car is more innovative than Pre-Volvo buy up copycat Geely (Lotus handling, sporty driving). In the U.K, Australia and Middle East people know Proton is a good car than Geely, except Proton don't have money and can't spend big like Korean and Japanese automakers. While in the US, U.K and advanced country, Volvo really need to proves hard that Geely is nothing to do with them since ever Geely bought them. From stand point Geely don't have innovation except have a lot of money to spend. During negotiations Geely wanted more than 65% share but somehow have to accepted it as minority/49% since they desperately need Lotus to catching up with Tesla - first Tesla car 70% comes from Lotus.
I can't agree more in your statement. Sadly some low life's behind keyboard warrios still do not believe made in china cars. They do not know how national car market is doing in china and how competitive they were.
i have to admit that i do have that misconception initially. But well, i am now eagerly awaiting for the arrival of my X50 Flagship & i changed my opinion after trying out the X70
The problem here is people such as u calling this as " national' car when in fact this have nothing to do with nationalism but more of other peoplw hard work and rebadging it as your own. That is called laziness not creativity. This app u are using derived from creativity and 1 or a group hardwork to make it where it is not simply renaming and recopying it just like what China is widely known for
@@yangerek78 funny you get mad again here and talking out of context again lol. Getting mad cause I called you out as keyboard warrior your Japanese brand is having headache selling car now? Hahahha comparing TH-cam saying it's hardwork instead of china own version of youku when you don't know how Chinese do their own brands there? Compare apple to apple la, you have no brain juice to debate anymore? I'm talking about Chinese car market in general, go take look on the local brands and how they build and spec their car. How in a short time they build car and compete in the market. How many new brands have come up especially EV. Oh give you some tips, go look at the recently held Beijing motorshow and see how it went. If you cannot read or listen Chinese I'm more than happy to share those information with you. FYI honda civic is so badly built the A and B pillar twisted and deem unsafe to drive but still many noob praised it as a godcar, just like myvi here. While their local brand score 5 star crash test rating and topped with the safety ADAS feature as standard in certain model. I''m not talking about X50 and call it as a proud national car brand here when in fact it is indeed rebadged car. Furthermore it's true both proton and perodua are no longer a national car. Bobby is right, better than you keep praising Toyota honda innovation and putting bigotry self claim marketing with "so much torque", end up giving mediocre spec car. You could argue it's all about cost and taxes if not Japanese car could sell at proton price. Yes it is but why they could not offer these kind of spec at first to stir the market up while just being comfortable by adding little spec generation over generations?
@@nitric75 i know bro, im not evrything china/ccp supporter. and as a car guy i admire things that carmakers make and critic when they offset things, some people mindset are more traditional and its best if i can furnish them the info they might/might not be seeing. but not this fangay because i like calling them out lol.
Geely plans to Conquer Proton. After Replace Proton Brand with Geely Brand only will conquer ASEAN Market. Think twice why i am say so. Geely is a very smart company. If Geely is not doing what i am talking about then is very stupid.
From selling glass (old Proton) in the old days, now Proton get crystal (Yue Yue series) from Geely to build up their name, by selling diamond (Lotus) to Geely. Not a great deal but this is the only way to save Proton. Glad that Geely is unlike Ford who never appreciate Volvo, Geely is really helping Proton to gain back its glory. Hope that Proton learn whatever Geely provide and come out smth by themselves.
U are totally wrong. U never follow what is happened of the Malay to Proton. U never follow the news of the Proton CEO's Plans. U until now still dont know why Geely Proton cars is made in China. Soon .............Proton will be disappear and i super hope this day come faster.
@@pigdrivers Yup. I never follow whats is happening in your mind. I never follow the news that u heard from. I am still don't know what u are trying to tell me here. 🤷🏻♂️
@@daryl_sgn5322 this is not pessimistic. This is optismatic. U think this is pessimistic because u dont want to accept this will be true. If u know why Geely brought over Volvo and other brands and why Geely discontinued few brands then u will know Proton's Dooms day is near !!!!!!! Once all the Proton cars replaced by Geely cars then what is the use of Proton to Geely ??? Who is the boss at that moment ??? The pride of Malay ??? The day Proton forced Geely bought 49.9%, Proton already make a grave for itself to be bury by itself. Geely only will keep the brand which has its own value which has it own design of cars. Proton at the end will not has it own cars then where Geely should keep it ????
I wonder with Proton and Perodua being very good carmakers in their respective target markets now, will it change how Malaysia's price and tax structure in the future...? And will it also change how Malaysians select the different variants when purchasing a particular model? Interested to see how will our perspective change in the next few years...
@@yangerek78 dude, stop smoking crack, the x1 is supposed to do 9 something seconds and x50 8 seconds, and in sepang both didnt do as what the specs suggest, probably it's the weather and the amount of launches heating up the turbo chargers in both cars, so you wanna say bmw overclaim their figures also?
I have good experience with inspira, my first proton car... first service evolve to lancer, 3rd service at bengkel bawah pokok...nothing to regret, just too much money wasted changing bumper, rims, exhaust etc etc.... n now looking for x50, suv... wonder what modification can do, is it can go offroad...
Geely - have biggest car market/can produce it cheap. Volvo - Luxury car with one of the best in technology. Proton/Lotus - Have one of the best handling technology while still on budget category. Polestar- new breed of best technology and best handling car
It's just a car for crying out loud... Not your wife. You change cars.. it depreciates the moment u drive it out of the showroom. If you have to think twice about the price tag(for any car for that matter) then u cannot afford it.
Now only u know, u are too late. This is 1 of the failure or Proton CEO's first plan and this also trigger the CEO to decide the Geely cars is made in China.
Not a X70 owner but I'm owning a Preve since 2013 and I service my car at HQ Cose. If you have problem with the car, do not 100% expect Proton can solve that. Just recently I have a leaking engine oil problem. SC said my engine oil is enough so not sure where the oil stain came from. I then went outside to check, it's leaking at flywheel oil seal. This is not the first time they ignore my complaint especially car that not in warranty anymore. I do feel other car brand might not better but I sincerely expect Proton SC can do more since this is big brother of local car maker
@@cshong3831 U brought Proton Car then u already expected how good the service is. Complaint is useless. U are not today only knew what is call Proton !!!!! No body asks u to buy Proton., U deserved that.
Great video “ we all have a little proton in us “ lol cute , but good explaining about the Chinese car market , personally I never liked the x70 but x50 DAYUMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Yep right, really looking forward to proton moving to a glory days ahead with geely's...only thing is fews years after success wait for certain group come and claim and want them to hand back to them....and then you know what gonna happen
yes but in a businesss world, we need to have good business partner, i will say good business making decision from Proton to have partner, in this case is Geely. Don't be so pessimistic brother...
Chan Zan Yi Geely success is because of Volvo, all these technology transferred from Volvo. Proton knows that they will get access to these technology if they with Geely, while Geely need Lotus... Now Volvo have Polestar.
I have been waiting for X50 from last year when the rumour came out. Now when I see so many people wants to buy it I suddenly lost interest to purchase. Maybe I'll just setle for GTR hrrmm.
Remebered my old colleague from europe. They also cannot tahan the sudden change in temperature when you go in an out from aircon room to outside. Haha. They complain why we set and use aircon temperature so cold. 😂😂
Malaysian logic: "Outside 25° not very hot. Inside set 25°" "Outside 40° so damn hot. Inside set 16°" "Eh close the door, in case we loose our aircond!" "Why? Tot you wanna use your aircond to cool down Malaysia no? Keep door open la"
@@duaneyeoh4283 No matter how good the tech from Volvo is useless to Proton Malaysia due to Proton Malaysia will never adopt the tech. If u are not understand what is am talking about then wait until all the Proton cars which designed by Malay replace by Geely cars then u will know what i am talking about
Its true on what u told, i agree but my personal opinion the best car that proton build i would say the preve, suprima and satria neo. Ive really drove it quite sometimes it really handles superb.(lotus handling). The amount of confidence at those car is high. Hope that lotus handling in the x50 in their facelift maybe😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍.
Agree. On it's own merits they'll be successful. But less successful and takes longer. It is hugely aided by the much lower prices (national car status from Proton) and discounted network of services centres that would have cost a lot more and longer. So the Chinese are laughing all the way to the bank.
I'm hoping that Geely can help introduce affordable electric cars based on their planning on modular electric system for cars. 5:58 yes that's the Malaysian's main problem everywhere and about anything and one of the main reason why there will always be P1 haters no matter how well P1 do. The same mentality similarly Apple fanboys.
you tallking about the P1 internet provider right? at least now quality speaks for itself on this x50, hopefully proton continue excel with a dream to export massively one day. i have seen myvi appear in london when i was there.
Give your some ideas 💡, are you look at the features, if yes, go ahead with X50, if you want good handling and comfort level of driving. X50 is not for you. This is my personal view.
Very very accurate statement Foong. Was just about to say this. Handling wise, X70 and X50 hasn't even reach the levels of Proton Iriz or Preve or Waja. Let alone a Mazda. :)
@@pigdrivers I think u are not bright enough to see comment was made in sarcasm... LoL. Will u pay a premium of rm400k if both items are the exact same.
@@davyleisure9469 Then u are the joke of the year if both of them are same. U never go to understand what is Volvo and Geely at all and say they are same. Only the Malay in Malaysia will have same thinking of u. Are u the Malay in Malaysia ??
With the upcoming semiconductor crisis in China put in place by the president that was just diagnosed positive with covid-19, do you think that this will affect the production of these cars with advanced systems as most probably there will be some sort of semiconductors sourced from US.
They did make sedans. B segment sedan is called emgrand but it's an old car. There's one c segment called binrui and d segment called borui and sources said they could be in line for protons replacement if they decided to "rebadge" it again
Car good or not only can evaluate after 5 years for me which is still new , example when we buy new phone everything fast doesn't matter china or iPhone but by time goes it start show real colour that will determine quality, i still prefer my old persona 11 years still engine very good and can see pick up as well , because campro engine from mitushubishi
When I started working in kL, my national pride n dream car was a Proton Wira. I finally got a 2nd hand Wira export model in 1997 but after a few months, the window problem disappointed me . Sad. In 2006, I was watching a TV commercial at home, then suddenly I heard God the Holy Spirit’s voice, “I am going to give you a BMW”. The TV commercial was showing a black BMW 3 series E90. Though astounded, I believed despite the odds. I just believed God despite I only dreamed of changing my Proton to a Japanese car. In 2007, God told me to accept a new job offer that paid 3 times more. In 2008, suddenly in the office I heard God’s voice “Go ahead and buy a BMW, enjoy my finances”. I immediately sold my Proton Wira and bought my first BMW a three series from Ingress Auto. Thank God!
Proton did not just give Malaysians just a affordable, feature packed, beautiful car. It gave back dignity to Malaysians. , after decades of cronyism and neglect.
@@yangerek78 haha...when japanese enggineer talking abaut car...so when u going back to japan...shame on u...alway talking rubbish...that make u rubbish to
I love proton...I have been using proton but Ertiga will be my last because the after service is disappointing...from iswara to persona2006 to Ertiga nothing change accept geely takeover...
Geely is still Geely and Proton is still Proton both are hardly even mentioned else where except its home ground. Geely is known is bcos it bought over Volvo not bcos its GEELY it is just another brand in it home nation which for some weird reason PRC love VW
Yes, X70 will build the Proton brand. But the national pride is gone. It only proves that Malaysia cannot independently produce its own car. Cannot tipu or syok sendiri. My Proton perception now changes -yes- a China car under the skin of a MALAYSIAN name.
Bobby explained partially, that Chinese market is competitive. Actually everything is competitive in China. And they have the system, education, culture, industry, etc. And that's where a greater product is produced. Malaysia doesn't have all that capacity. Malaysia will find its own niche and be good at that.
It doesn't matter, customer wins in the end. At least they bringing good and honest car at that price point to further enhance and push the market over. It's all about business objectives. Also funny how you putting racial remarks here. Maybe you want to tell that to like MINI. A UK brand but BMW car?
Nowadays China brand car bukan main main o.Try to pay attention on china automobile market ,they are focusing on develope electrical car ,chasing behind Tesla.
Two questions.. 1. how long do i have to wait for X50 to be at my nearest showroom? 2. How do Proton mange resale value for X50?..main reason why people go for H and T, although i have to admit my T Vios Thailand tak lah hebat sgt..and my wife honda jezz also just so so..now im driving new CRV..perhaps can share my experience after 1 yr.
It takes time to build up brand image to get good resale value. Toyota and Honda didn't have good resale value when they just entered the Malaysian market either. Besides, the price of the X50 will probably undercut HR-V by a large amount similar to how the X70 undercut the CR-V. So resale value shouldn't be that big of a concern.
@@andycarollsuarez well u forgotten just 1 point ' its made in China' let not kid ourselves mentioned ' made in China' no one will have a good impression if it
@@yangerek78 Oh wow, the famed yangerek has graced me with his presence. Anyway, you can continue living in 2008 if you believe "made in China" gives people a bad impression.
@@yangerek78 every single electronic device you own has components made in China, high tech components at that. Their smartphones are some of the top selling brands in the world. Their automobile industry have not expanded worldwide yet but they are working on it. You may be living in 2020 but your mindset is still clearly stuck in 2008.
those days are gone, just take Apple product for instance... designed in california, assembled in China. Actually, the american entrepreneur and big companies prefer doing business in china. One of the reason is the cheap manufacturing cost, cheap labour, in my humble opinion. feel free to add on... Logic right, if im in a electronic or sportswear, or F&B business i will go wherever places offer me a cheaper, more efficient that will deliver my product with fast and quality services.
Many Malaysian were turned off the Proton brand in the past because Proton cars are cheaper and more inferior in quality but after the introduction of X70 and X50 people are more accepting of the Proton brand. Is it a surprise that Proton is reentering the South African market after a hiatus?
indonesian market is hardly to enter.. their government only allow a limited number of imported car. unless proton opens some engine factory or some car factory in their country to overcome this policy.
?? How about PRICE. We are brainwashed! If all imported cars get level playing field, and Geely can sell X50 at a lower price (say, RM70K). And XC40 sell for RM100K. BMW sell for only RM120K. What then? Proton can go die after screwing us for decades with shit power windows, shit cars. (prices are not accurate, but guys, check the real price overseas if no taxes).
Hello, Bobby You are like the President of car reviewers. Wish you put EVO insurance in the Philippines or all over Aisa. On the Trump issue not really correct. Protecting the market isn't his point. Even playing field was. Product coming to America entered freely, but every country was charged American products almost 100% Duty to enter their country, he said it wasn't fair. If I want to buy an American car in the Philippines the duty is 100% of the value.
True! American financial institutions and American corporations have been earning a big ton of money from developing countries by manufacturing goods at a much cheaper rate too, and the financial institutions that bank rolled these factories that employ workers at a low rate to sell back to USA for big profits (contributing to the trade deficit) earns plenty of money too that wasn't reflected in the deficit! Moreover, upon contributing labour (which requires education, food, electricity, water, resources and time - from them to grow from embryos to adults to work in American factories) and also natural resources; these two output were exchanged for US Dollars - with which USA simply prints them and can exchange with all countries around the world. Ultimately, the so called 'trade-deficit' is a simple term to rally Americans, as 700-300=400 is easier to understand than which financial institutions earn, how much real world value was exchanged for printed green bills. :)
@@BobbyAngmalaysia That was the other reason Trump did what he did the was a high unemployment rate in America corporations left to increase profits and left American workers in the cold, not everyone can make a living working in the service industry. Company’s were coming back, lowest unemployment in my life time. Now I have no idea what’s going to happen in the states. But I’m retired, looking for a new project, EVO seems interesting to me. But I’m in the Philippines

hello pig I think you don't get it, don't you.. I clearly said if Proton can't sell out their product well outside/overseas it will be win for Geely. Proton car is more innovative than Pre-Volvo buy up copycat Geely (Lotus handling, sporty driving). In the U.K, Australia and Middle East people know Proton is a good car than Geely, except Proton don't have money and can't spend big like Korean and Japanese automakers. While in the US, U.K and advanced country, Volvo really need to proves hard that Geely is nothing to do with them since ever Geely bought them. From stand point Geely don't have innovation except have a lot of money to spend. During negotiations Geely wanted more than 65% share but somehow have to accepted it as minority/49% since they desperately need Lotus to catching up with Tesla - first Tesla car 70% comes from Lotus.

Great video Bobby Ang nice to share about Proton history & also something els wow 🤩 great to learn from the past of Proton
I can't agree more in your statement. Sadly some low life's behind keyboard warrios still do not believe made in china cars. They do not know how national car market is doing in china and how competitive they were.
i have to admit that i do have that misconception initially. But well, i am now eagerly awaiting for the arrival of my X50 Flagship & i changed my opinion after trying out the X70
The problem here is people such as u calling this as " national' car when in fact this have nothing to do with nationalism but more of other peoplw hard work and rebadging it as your own. That is called laziness not creativity. This app u are using derived from creativity and 1 or a group hardwork to make it where it is not simply renaming and recopying it just like what China is widely known for
@@yangerek78 funny you get mad again here and talking out of context again lol. Getting mad cause I called you out as keyboard warrior your Japanese brand is having headache selling car now? Hahahha comparing TH-cam saying it's hardwork instead of china own version of youku when you don't know how Chinese do their own brands there? Compare apple to apple la, you have no brain juice to debate anymore?
I'm talking about Chinese car market in general, go take look on the local brands and how they build and spec their car. How in a short time they build car and compete in the market. How many new brands have come up especially EV. Oh give you some tips, go look at the recently held Beijing motorshow and see how it went. If you cannot read or listen Chinese I'm more than happy to share those information with you. FYI honda civic is so badly built the A and B pillar twisted and deem unsafe to drive but still many noob praised it as a godcar, just like myvi here. While their local brand score 5 star crash test rating and topped with the safety ADAS feature as standard in certain model.
I''m not talking about X50 and call it as a proud national car brand here when in fact it is indeed rebadged car. Furthermore it's true both proton and perodua are no longer a national car. Bobby is right, better than you keep praising Toyota honda innovation and putting bigotry self claim marketing with "so much torque", end up giving mediocre spec car. You could argue it's all about cost and taxes if not Japanese car could sell at proton price. Yes it is but why they could not offer these kind of spec at first to stir the market up while just being comfortable by adding little spec generation over generations?

Insightful thoughts and facts on how Geely plans to conquer ASEAN market
Geely plans to Conquer Proton. After Replace Proton Brand with Geely Brand only will conquer ASEAN Market. Think twice why i am say so. Geely is a very smart company. If Geely is not doing what i am talking about then is very stupid.
I really hope you can go to China auto show in 2021! I am sure some China car makers are very great
From selling glass (old Proton) in the old days, now Proton get crystal (Yue Yue series) from Geely to build up their name, by selling diamond (Lotus) to Geely. Not a great deal but this is the only way to save Proton. Glad that Geely is unlike Ford who never appreciate Volvo, Geely is really helping Proton to gain back its glory. Hope that Proton learn whatever Geely provide and come out smth by themselves.
U are totally wrong. U never follow what is happened of the Malay to Proton. U never follow the news of the Proton CEO's Plans. U until now still dont know why Geely Proton cars is made in China. Soon .............Proton will be disappear and i super hope this day come faster.

Once all the Proton cars replaced by Geely cars then what is the use of Proton to Geely ??? Who is the boss at that moment ??? The pride of Malay ??? The day Proton forced Geely bought 49.9%, Proton already make a grave for itself to be bury by itself. Geely only will keep the brand which has its own value which has it own design of cars.

What car are you driving in this video bobby? The interior looks nice.

Proton making a comeback, thanks for the review Bobby 👍👍
I wonder with Proton and Perodua being very good carmakers in their respective target markets now, will it change how Malaysia's price and tax structure in the future...? And will it also change how Malaysians select the different variants when purchasing a particular model?
Interested to see how will our perspective change in the next few years...
First time i 100% agree with everything you said in this video Bobbie.
I hope geely will bring in their Xingyue, X6 like SUV coupe. 0-100km in 6.8s, will sell like hot cake
I'm willing to pay 150k for the xingyue

@@yangerek78 dude, stop smoking crack, the x1 is supposed to do 9 something seconds and x50 8 seconds, and in sepang both didnt do as what the specs suggest, probably it's the weather and the amount of launches heating up the turbo chargers in both cars, so you wanna say bmw overclaim their figures also?
I have good experience with inspira, my first proton car... first service evolve to lancer, 3rd service at bengkel bawah pokok...nothing to regret, just too much money wasted changing bumper, rims, exhaust etc etc.... n now looking for x50, suv... wonder what modification can do, is it can go offroad...
With just 2WD configuration only that proton has offer, unfortunately nope is the answer.
Geely - have biggest car market/can produce it cheap.
Volvo - Luxury car with one of the best in technology.
Proton/Lotus - Have one of the best handling technology while still on budget category.
Polestar- new breed of best technology and best handling car
The ping is a Volvo ping. Hahaha. Well I guess it’s good that proton geeky Volvo lotus is a good combination.
The truth is, for me the X50 is so tempting that I am seriously considering giving up my F30 318i (and my dignity).
u change it only talk.
It's just a car for crying out loud... Not your wife. You change cars.. it depreciates the moment u drive it out of the showroom. If you have to think twice about the price tag(for any car for that matter) then u cannot afford it.
I am X70 owner, in Ipoh, went to different sc for 1st and 2nd service. I can say that Product is first world, but Service is still third world.
Now only u know, u are too late. This is 1 of the failure or Proton CEO's first plan and this also trigger the CEO to decide the Geely cars is made in China.
Thanks for this info.Exactly the reason i m holding back buying the X50..
Do you mind sharing why you say its 3rd world Service pls ?
@@shazzaleone6288 Bought it then u will know no need sharing and explain.
Not a X70 owner but I'm owning a Preve since 2013 and I service my car at HQ Cose.
If you have problem with the car, do not 100% expect Proton can solve that. Just recently I have a leaking engine oil problem. SC said my engine oil is enough so not sure where the oil stain came from. I then went outside to check, it's leaking at flywheel oil seal.
This is not the first time they ignore my complaint especially car that not in warranty anymore.
I do feel other car brand might not better but I sincerely expect Proton SC can do more since this is big brother of local car maker
@@cshong3831 U brought Proton Car then u already expected how good the service is. Complaint is useless. U are not today only knew what is call Proton !!!!! No body asks u to buy Proton., U deserved that.
Hi bobby. May i know whether x50 is up to par with the current cx3? Since there is no comparison yet between these two. Thank!
Larger and more spacious than the CX3. Handling wise there's no comparison, Mazdas are kings
So what used car we should monitor for value buy? As in victims of x50?
Great video “ we all have a little proton in us “ lol cute , but good explaining about the Chinese car market , personally I never liked the x70 but x50 DAYUMMMMMMMMMMMMM
My humble suggestion to you Bobby..... Take some good Vitamin C before attending this kind of events 😉
Good reviews... Tqvm.
how will it do in term of security? will the smart system get hacked easily?
Give the SAs some time to adapt. They've been servicing bullock carts for quite a while until the x70 arrived.
A very good perspective. Enjoyed your vids.
Bobby you should start a podcast on this kinda topics, or something else that’s related...
Yep right, really looking forward to proton moving to a glory days ahead with geely's...only thing is fews years after success wait for certain group come and claim and want them to hand back to them....and then you know what gonna happen
Also proton wouldn’t be as successful as today if it wasn’t Geely
yes but in a businesss world, we need to have good business partner, i will say good business making decision from Proton to have partner, in this case is Geely. Don't be so pessimistic brother...
Chan Zan Yi Geely success is because of Volvo, all these technology transferred from Volvo. Proton knows that they will get access to these technology if they with Geely, while Geely need Lotus... Now Volvo have Polestar.
Because of Geely, Proton will be very fast bye bye soon also because of Geely.

"Outside 25° not very hot. Inside set 25°"
"Outside 40° so damn hot. Inside set 16°"
"Eh close the door, in case we loose our aircond!"
"Why? Tot you wanna use your aircond to cool down Malaysia no? Keep door open la"

Thank you Bobby Ang for sharing
Its true on what u told, i agree but my personal opinion the best car that proton build i would say the preve, suprima and satria neo. Ive really drove it quite sometimes it really handles superb.(lotus handling). The amount of confidence at those car is high. Hope that lotus handling in the x50 in their facelift maybe😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍.
Good handling but not powerful enough and sad punch cvt. I really like the suprima but engine really bottleneck its handling
@@mrmikelim99 agree on the punch cvt lag, but otherwise its a great buy actually, for me the amount of power seems okay for it
Well said Bobby...Proton is a class higher now...and there is tremendous potential for Proton to grow out of Malaysia market.
can x50 autopark during nightime where there is almost no lighting and parking line detected?
Great overview, mate. Will you be switching from a bmw to an X50?
If they come up with something that fit my needs, definitely! Moreover i wont be buying anything below 300hp 😅
10:23 very very true
Myvi & X50 dominates B Segment
Agree. On it's own merits they'll be successful. But less successful and takes longer.
It is hugely aided by the much lower prices (national car status from Proton) and discounted network of services centres that would have cost a lot more and longer.
So the Chinese are laughing all the way to the bank.
May I know which of this service center are good in old lexus car?
I literally looked away when you sneezed 😂😂😂
Surely "car of the year hot nominee"
Bobby you will prefer mazda 6 or civic 1.5?
Different segment.. Mazda 6 should be compared to accord
Civic for me
Bobby sorry mate not related to this vid. Are you able to review a xc40 recharge for us?
proton must improve after sales if want to sell outside..
I'm hoping that Geely can help introduce affordable electric cars based on their planning on modular electric system for cars.
5:58 yes that's the Malaysian's main problem everywhere and about anything and one of the main reason why there will always be P1 haters no matter how well P1 do. The same mentality similarly Apple fanboys.
you tallking about the P1 internet provider right? at least now quality speaks for itself on this x50, hopefully proton continue excel with a dream to export massively one day. i have seen myvi appear in london when i was there.
Hi, where to find about your service centre, insurance? Which website?

X70 512l vs X50 330l... vs CRV 571l.... Not all that bad for the X70

wait till u test drive the X50 and it will definitely change your mind.
Give your some ideas 💡, are you look at the features, if yes, go ahead with X50, if you want good handling and comfort level of driving. X50 is not for you. This is my personal view.
Very very accurate statement Foong. Was just about to say this. Handling wise, X70 and X50 hasn't even reach the levels of Proton Iriz or Preve or Waja. Let alone a Mazda. :)

With the upcoming semiconductor crisis in China put in place by the president that was just diagnosed positive with covid-19, do you think that this will affect the production of these cars with advanced systems as most probably there will be some sort of semiconductors sourced from US.
Most appliances only use up to 20nm chips above. unlike smartphone that's limited on size. So, it's really not an issue tbh.
Will proton gonna make sedan with x50 technology ?
Maybe make perdana replacement
I always love sedan
geely sedan is call geely borui , it got hybrid version and turbo version
They did make sedans. B segment sedan is called emgrand but it's an old car. There's one c segment called binrui and d segment called borui and sources said they could be in line for protons replacement if they decided to "rebadge" it again
I remember there's an announcement for 2 new model with in house design so maybe there's hope.
Do I have to wear a mask when watching this video ? xD
Car good or not only can evaluate after 5 years for me which is still new , example when we buy new phone everything fast doesn't matter china or iPhone but by time goes it start show real colour that will determine quality, i still prefer my old persona 11 years still engine very good and can see pick up as well , because campro engine from mitushubishi
When I started working in kL, my national pride n dream car was a Proton Wira. I finally got a 2nd hand Wira export model in 1997 but after a few months, the window problem disappointed me . Sad.
In 2006, I was watching a TV commercial at home, then suddenly I heard God the Holy Spirit’s voice, “I am going to give you a BMW”. The TV commercial was showing a black BMW 3 series E90. Though astounded, I believed despite the odds. I just believed God despite I only dreamed of changing my Proton to a Japanese car. In 2007, God told me to accept a new job offer that paid 3 times more. In 2008, suddenly in the office I heard God’s voice “Go ahead and buy a BMW, enjoy my finances”. I immediately sold my Proton Wira and bought my first BMW a three series from Ingress Auto. Thank God!
Proton did not just give Malaysians just a affordable, feature packed, beautiful car. It gave back dignity to Malaysians. , after decades of cronyism and neglect.

Yes, X70 will build the Proton brand. But the national pride is gone. It only proves that Malaysia cannot independently produce its own car. Cannot tipu or syok sendiri. My Proton perception now changes -yes- a China car under the skin of a MALAYSIAN name.
Proton added value instead of just just rebadging
Bobby explained partially, that Chinese market is competitive. Actually everything is competitive in China. And they have the system, education, culture, industry, etc. And that's where a greater product is produced. Malaysia doesn't have all that capacity. Malaysia will find its own niche and be good at that.
Yohan Han Seems like Malaysia niche is just being racial at everything 🤣

It doesn't matter, customer wins in the end. At least they bringing good and honest car at that price point to further enhance and push the market over. It's all about business objectives.

I dunno why im suddenly sad listen to you bobby 😣
Two questions..
1. how long do i have to wait for X50 to be at my nearest showroom?
2. How do Proton mange resale value for X50?..main reason why people go for H and T, although i have to admit my T Vios Thailand tak lah hebat sgt..and my wife honda jezz also just so so..now im driving new CRV..perhaps can share my experience after 1 yr.
It takes time to build up brand image to get good resale value. Toyota and Honda didn't have good resale value when they just entered the Malaysian market either. Besides, the price of the X50 will probably undercut HR-V by a large amount similar to how the X70 undercut the CR-V. So resale value shouldn't be that big of a concern.

Logic right, if im in a electronic or sportswear, or F&B business i will go wherever places offer me a cheaper, more efficient that will deliver my product with fast and quality services.
Many Malaysian were turned off the Proton brand in the past because Proton cars are cheaper and more inferior in quality but after the introduction of X70 and X50 people are more accepting of the Proton brand. Is it a surprise that Proton is reentering the South African market after a hiatus?
indonesian market is hardly to enter.. their government only allow a limited number of imported car. unless proton opens some engine factory or some car factory in their country to overcome this policy.
👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻
and strategy china company buy trusted brand like volvo, if they just copy like usual sure can't go far
?? How about PRICE. We are brainwashed! If all imported cars get level playing field, and Geely can sell X50 at a lower price (say, RM70K). And XC40 sell for RM100K. BMW sell for only RM120K. What then? Proton can go die after screwing us for decades with shit power windows, shit cars. (prices are not accurate, but guys, check the real price overseas if no taxes).
Hello, Bobby
You are like the President of car reviewers. Wish you put EVO insurance in the Philippines or all over Aisa. On the Trump issue not really correct. Protecting the market isn't his point. Even playing field was. Product coming to America entered freely, but every country was charged American products almost 100% Duty to enter their country, he said it wasn't fair. If I want to buy an American car in the Philippines the duty is 100% of the value.
True! American financial institutions and American corporations have been earning a big ton of money from developing countries by manufacturing goods at a much cheaper rate too, and the financial institutions that bank rolled these factories that employ workers at a low rate to sell back to USA for big profits (contributing to the trade deficit) earns plenty of money too that wasn't reflected in the deficit! Moreover, upon contributing labour (which requires education, food, electricity, water, resources and time - from them to grow from embryos to adults to work in American factories) and also natural resources; these two output were exchanged for US Dollars - with which USA simply prints them and can exchange with all countries around the world. Ultimately, the so called 'trade-deficit' is a simple term to rally Americans, as 700-300=400 is easier to understand than which financial institutions earn, how much real world value was exchanged for printed green bills. :)
@@BobbyAngmalaysia you do understand, excellent.
@@BobbyAngmalaysia That was the other reason Trump did what he did the was a high unemployment rate in America corporations left to increase profits and left American workers in the cold, not everyone can make a living working in the service industry.
