Another rumor mill has been shot into my ears by my Proton insider with some news of Proton might be assembling Honda Brio at its plant. Apparently, before Chinese New Year holidays, Proton top brass was said having a meeting with Honda Asia Pacific top brass on the idea of assembling the Brio here in Malaysia.
As you may know, the Honda Brio was currently assembled at Honda Thailand factory, but even with AFTA duties, it is still not viable to bring the car here into the Malaysian market unless it is being assembled here in Malaysia. With the incentive of new NAP being announce on 20th January this year, looks like Honda Malaysia going to this route of getting the incentive under the EEV vehicle. Can Malaysian expect the most affordable Honda cars soon on the Malaysian road? Time will tell.. as for now, keep on rumours coming in!!!!
Proton is a top brand I hope one day Proton come into my life
