Before you say that GM is making a bad move remember that the South East Asian market is huge. But then again, this report may be bull.

| Doesn't proton work with lotus? | |

| Basically, they'll take a bunch of Suzukis and leftover Opel Corsas and some locally made Protons and slap a Chevy badge on them and call it a day. They already do that in China, so it's all the same to them anyway, right? And please leave Lotus out of this, they're at their prime right now and don't need any corporate bureaucracy to meddle with them. | |

| I was just wondering b/c I thought on top gear they said that the Proton Savy was the "entry level" lotus. I know they were joking. | |

| There are two things that they can get from Proton. Crappy small cars with Chevy badges on and Lotus. I think its mostly Lotus although in GM's current state, its hard for them to buy anything.....

And only certain Proton's are shit, they have been improving steadily since they parted with Mitsubishi and are making better cars now, obviously they can only compete with Korean cars and are nowhere close to Japanese cars, but they take up 60% market share in Malaysia which is huge and therefore generated enough revenue to buy Lotus ![]()
