The GSC has been spotted testing several times before. It was even tested under cold weather climates overseas. Specs for the hatch remain a mystery but reports claim the car to feature a 1.3-litre engine, possibly turbocharged, mated to a CVT. With Tun Dr Mahathir at the helm, Proton is keen to win back the hearts of local customers as the national’s sole car maker. If the P2-30A is as good as they say, and we hope it is, it will have no problem locking horns with the popular Myvi and other hatches in the Malaysian market as well.
It will be battle between proton GSC vs Myvi in B segment or better know as Myvi killer.
The sedan version of these hatchback GSC will be next proton Saga to be lunched next year. Therefore, witiin 1 year alone (end of 2014 till end of 2015), proton will introduce both hatchback GSC and sedan GSC (proton Saga), target mass production, expect surge in total proton volume sale.

PKR today denied issuing the letter, which was said allegedly issued by PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution to allow for the smooth transition of Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail as the new Selangor menteri besar.
The letter states that if Khalid agrees to step down, he would be appointed the chairman of the water restructuring committee, the Selangor economic adviser with an allowance of RM50,000 a month, and perks similar to that of a menteri besar.
It also mentions that all of Khalid’s political and financial transgressions will be covered up and no investigations would be launched against him.
when asked to comment on the letter that purportedly revealed PKR offering him a slew of compensations in return for his resignation, Khalid said such offers were unnecessary.
He added that the letter indicated the maturity level of Malaysian politics, and urged PKR to avoid getting embroiled in such affairs.
“Offer? There is no need to make such offers. What is the point? I must show my maturity and ensure respect is given to the voters of Selangor.
“The rakyat do not want such things. They will say it is bribery. Thank you very much,” said Khalid.
Khalid have sent two letters, one to PKR’s Disciplinary Board responding to the party’s show cause letter and another to the MACC asking them to investigate the allegations against him.
With these change in partnership, i believe Audi wholly own by Volkwagen will follow Volkwagen footstep to introduce Audi CKD instead of CBU and appoint DRB to locally assemble Audi car, reduce car price, increase sale volume, compete directly in premium car segment vs. Benze, BMW,
Lotus races to best Q1 in 3 years 9 August 2014 @ 12:12 AM
KUALA LUMPUR: Group Lotus Plc, the sports car and engineering arm of Proton Holdings Bhd, has delivered its best June results in four years and its best first quarter (Q1) sales in three years.
In a statement yesterday, Lotus said global sports car sales in the April-June quarter jumped 31 per cent to 505 units, compared with 386 units in the same period last year.
The figures also showed the best monthly results in four years with sales of 192 units in June.
Key markets that contributed to the strong results were France, Germany, Switzerland and Japan. The improved performance is due to rising
demand for the Lotus range of sports cars, namely the Evora, Exige and Elise.
Lotus’ Q1 figures also reflected the plans to expand its global network with new dealerships expected in the coming months.
Lotus chief executive officer Jean-Marc Gales said it will ensure that more customers have the chance to own one of world’s best sports cars.
The Norfolk, United Kingdom-based Group Lotus is DRB-HICOM Bhd’s wholly-owned subsidiary. It has three operating divisions, which are Lotus Cars, Lotus Engineering and Lotus Motorsport.
Lotus Cars builds world-class high-performance sports cars, including the Evora and the Exige.
Lotus Engineering provides comprehensive consultancy services to many global OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and tier-1 suppliers, and is an internationally-recognised automotive engineering consultancy.
To those who are attending the relentless PKR roadshows by Wan Azizah and Rafizi Ramli, can you please help me ask them the following questions during the Q&A time?
1) Rafizi said that Khalid reducing the price of SPLASH from RM2.5 billion to RM250 million is questionable and lack integrity. Can you ask Rafizi how exactly will it help the Rakyat of Selangor if the Selangor State has to pay an extra RM2.25 billion to a private company?
2) Can Rafizi confirm that Anwar Ibrahim had brought SPLASH’s Wan Azmi to meet MB Khalid to appeal for a higher price for SPLASH? If it is true, can this be considered cronyism and politicians trying to intervene in a state commercial deal?
....................
7) Is it true that after Tropicana Bhd sold the land to Eco World, MB Khalid tried to block the transaction and also asked Tropicana to make full-payment of RM844.2 million immediately instead of RM1.3 billion over 20 years? If MB Khalid was benefitting from this deal, why is he making it hard on Tropicana to pay up all immediately instead of a much cheaper and favorable RM1.3 billion over 20 years?
10) If Wan Azizah becomes MB, can PKR promise to make the following pledges as called for by Nathaniel Tan today?
Promise Number 1: Not to approve the transfer of ownership of 308.72 acres of land near Kota Kemuning from Tropicana Corporation Bhd to Eco World Development Sdn Bhd, or allow any development by any of these two companies on the total 1,172 acres of land, until Tropicana pays the state government no less than RM844.2 million - this being the Selangor people’s rightful share of the profits from this transaction and development.
Promise number 2: That water concessionaire Syarikat Pengeluar Air Sungai Selangor Sdn Bhd (Splash) will not be paid one sen over the RM250 million currently offered by the Selangor government.

（吉隆坡7日讯）多元重工业（DRBHCOM，1619，主板工业产品股）否认与德国汽车制造商奥迪（Audi）终止合作，但证实双方将会改变合作模式，并正在洽谈相关细节，未来会以经销商身份持续合作。
多元重工业汽车分销和制造部集团高级董事拿督拉扎菲莫哈末表示，该集团与奥迪的特许经营权将会有所转变，奥迪确实将会自行进入大马市场，不过，不会影响双方的良好合作关系。
他今日与媒体聚餐时透露，奥迪之前已表示会在时机成熟时，直接进入大马市场，这是正常的现象。
他指出，一般国际车商都会先以通过特许经营权的方式进入我国市场，当一切准备就绪后，就会自行进入市场，这是很普遍的情况。
详情洽谈中
双方正在洽谈未来合作的模式，一旦落实新协议，多元重工业将会继续成为奥迪的经销商，至于其它合作细节则还有待确定。
不过，他还无法确定何时会落实新合作模式，目前还在洽谈中。
而奥迪立足我国后，还将会继续支撑本地合作伙伴，设立分销中心，积极推动增长。
通过自行进入大马市场，奥迪将会带进更多汽车款式，并提升品牌形象。
有关奥迪将收回特许经营权的传闻从2012年12月就开始传出，不过，多元重工业一直强烈否认。
分析员对此消息并不感惊讶，况且许多国际车商如宝马、本田和马赛都已经收回在大马的特许经营权，奥迪步上后尘也不足为奇。
财务影响不大
针对从特许经营权转为分销商会否带来影响时，他表示，奥迪分销更多车款将带动更高销量，可抵消公司失去独家代理权的赚幅损失，实际财务影响不大。
他指出，奥迪近期将会陆续推出新车款。
基于奥迪对多元重工业的盈利贡献比例不大，分析员相信即使失去独家代理权，多元重工业仍有望受委主要经销商。
惟，丰隆投行研究提出，多元重工业未来是否能进口，或在交货前检查奥迪汽车，以及会否合作拆散组装（CKD）活动等疑问。
这或需要等待双方新合作详情出炉后才可知晓。
销量增长强劲
目前，奥迪在我国的销量增长强劲，前景也备受看好。
根据大马车商公会（MAA）的数据显示，奥迪在去年销售了3102辆汽车，马赛地与宝马则分别卖了5573及7057辆。
尽管目前销量仍不多，但奥迪每年的销量增长幅度显著。
追溯2012年，马赛地销量滑落5.6%，宝马增长11.7%，而奥迪则狂飙119%
