"Our philosophy for Proton is to provide the best priced cars, with great handling, quality and features ensuring a compelling purchase proposition for our customers," said Billy Falconer, Proton Cars Australia general manager sales and operations. “Buyers are embracing S16 because of the $11,990 price which includes 3 years warranty and 24 hours roadside assistance and as a result we now have a four week waiting list on the car," he added.
As part of its marketing initiative, the manufacturer also launched a new website, redesigned for search engine optimisation and ease of navigation. During 2010, Proton also plans to introduce several new models and variants into the Australian market including its first people mover and a Lotus Racing Satria Neo R3.
