Will a 'Muslim car' sell?
-
I think this is a pretty interesting idea but it seems gimmicky to me. You can put a Koran into the glove compartment after all. And is it that difficult to stick a compass on the dashboard?
A 'special compartment' for the koran or a headscarf sounds very much like the little storage bin between the driver's and passenger seat.
It seems to me that Proton should fix its quality issues first.
Malaysia firm's 'Muslim car' plan[
By Robin Brant
BBC News, Kuala Lumpur
The Malaysian carmaker Proton has announced plans to develop an "Islamic car", designed for Muslim motorists.
Proton is planning on teaming up with manufacturers in Iran and Turkey to create the unique vehicle.
The car could boast special features like a compass pointing to Mecca and a dedicated space to keep a copy of the Koran and a headscarf.
The idea came during a visit to the Middle East by a delegation of Malaysian politicians and businessmen.
Malaysian press reports say officials in Iran originally suggested the idea.
Safety features or fuel economy is one way of selling a car, but Proton thinks vehicles designed specifically for Muslims across the world represent a huge gap in the market.
Proton is the most dominant car on the streets here but the company has suffered recently after the government allowed more foreign cars to be imported.
The firm has been in talks recently with VW about a takeover by the German car giant.

Hehe, heard the Mr Brown podcast on the guy who was trying to make a quick buck by selling a defective car to the police? I remember the brand of the car (or the tyres or something) was "Potong".

Oh. I didn't hear about that.Originally posted by SturmDerSchatten:Hehe, heard the Mr Brown podcast on the guy who was trying to make a quick buck by selling a defective car to the police? I remember the brand of the car (or the tyres or something) was "Potong".
Hmmm... brand of tyres "Potong". "Potong" means cut. Does this mean the tyres will be automatically slashed? -

I find the thought of atheist stickers a bit scary. I don't want no stickers on my car. -
Of course they can sell.
if car cannot work, the car mats can double as flying carpet.
