March 2009 Auto Sales trend

Proton has launch its MPV: Exora last 15th April. Korang agak brp bookingnya skrg?

Well actually...as of yesterday, booking has reach a whopping 9,500 units!! Ngagau lar Proton nak catch up ngan semua booking tuh.. To make matters more wierd, the high line (equip with DVD, GPS etc...) are getting almost 80% of the total bookings!....

Next mth kite tgk ler bape registered no utk Exora. In the meantime, let c how Malaysia auto sales perform in March:

If korg tgk posting gua sblm ni utk bln Feb 09, Bln Mar mencatatkan peningkatan dari segi jualan. Pelik jugak... patutnya lagi teruk ekonomi, lagi slow sales automotive. Tp ape yg terjadi adalah sebaliknya...

Another point to mention is that Perodua semakin menjauhkan diri dari Proton dari segi sales volume. Kite tgk ler dlm Apr nnti whether Perodua akan terus menjauhkan diri atau tidak with the sales of Exora will be registered in April.

With Exora selling like hot cakes... We will see whether Proton can cope with the current production volume to deliver the increasing of bookings. Hope the good things roll on for the national carmakers.

One more point to ponder is that in Proton pipeline, there will be 2 new project in Proton pipeline when New Saga will launch its special edition & Persona will have a full model change targetting 2011 launching.

Gua akan continue update on the auto industry. Keep on reading!!!
