The R&D centre is kinda huge... Kinda interesting and din't expect that Proton has up-to-date technology too... Hope they solve the window problem... =P

Once in the R&D centre, there're alot of model... from miniature to large scale...

    For Proton's 7-seater SUV? I don't believe! Saja wanna hype things up I guess. But if they really can produce such vehicle, I dread to think about the chassis rigidity and sturdiness, how the entire car feels at such staggering pace.

    Hey, I've been to the noise chamber before... neat stuff. Yeah like you said, would make a nice place to hear good music :D

    - the cabriolet is actually a waja with no roof and slapped-on neo front and rear details. they shud've used the satria neo itself imho :P
