Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

No other color seems to generate so much "jealousy & envy" as Proton Yellow - wonder why?

I was at the dealership in November 2001, looking at a used '99 Ironman, and mentioned to the salesman that "I like the Ironman, but what I REALLY WANT is a PROTON, but they are all gone!"
He replied, "We have one sitting on the showrom floor..."
The rest is history.

Something similar happened to me - someone had just bought the last Proton and I was about to order a Foxfire when I got a call - the Proton had been returned - the guy's wife just couldn't deal with the color - I could barely contain myself!

"NO NO NO ..SILVER IS THE BEST .....like a bullet........wooooosh"
Yup - Astral's are 'one bullet Barney's'. One pass & they got nuthin left.
But soft, what light through yonder window breaks,
It is the East and Proton is the sun.
Arise fair Proton and kill the envious moon,
who is sick and pale with grief
that thou her maid art far more fair than she ...
Sorry Shakespere - Rekin we'll never see Romeo & Juliet the same again.

Some of my Proton's "marketing pics"
Mileage getting near 48k, but with me in Qatar for a year, it probably won't get many more miles on it for a while.
