#6. Should We Be Mad That Geely Owns Proton?

Backseat Banter

02-04-2023 • 34 mins

In this episode, the two boys get rather patriotic in discussing whether Geely taking over Proton was actually a good thing. Spoiler alert: It totally is, but also isn’t at the same time. Also in this episode, an impromptu debate on whether a Perodua Myvi and a Toyota Yaris can be fairly compared, as well as talk on whether Proton should have been killed off when it was on its knees.

Minor correction to note too: The Proton X70 and X50 do cost a little more than what was discussed in the podcast, with the former topping out at near as damn it RM 130,000 while the latter maxes at around RM 115,000. Yes, we should probably have researched more on this, but point nevertheless does stand that they are still a good chunk cheaper than its rivals.
