Proton Merge with Perodua?

..... The Edge Financial Daily reported yesterday that Proton was looking to inject its distribution arm Proton Edar Sdn Bhd into Edaran Otomobil Nasional Bhd (EON) in return for a stake in the latter. It also reported that the rationalisation exercise was part of a bigger automotive consolidation exercise with a possible merger between Proton and the second national car project under Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua).....FullStoryHere


In recent years , especially with the Myvi emergence in the national car market, Proton has been hit badly and has been kick from its pole position. Perodua has gain trust in most Malaysians with their car a lot. I guess that describes the reason of massive sales in their cars especially the Myvi despite quite high price tags for so called National Car....

If the merger is gonna comes into reality, i hope the good image of Perodua will create something in Proton. Btw, i ve seen Proton is really changing towards positive direction with their new management..no hanky panky car was produced anymore...check out the latest MPV from them..hehehe




Gud luck to them..hopefully oneday they can stand as high as Korean carmakers ... although it seems unrealistic to me....
