It has to be higher, that has to be taken care of. These things are being attended to now but it takes time,” said Tun Dr. Mahathir.“We have approved it, now the problem is to build it. We don’t have the 4WD, we don’t have the engine and [meeting] the emission standards. So now we are negotiating with people in Europe and in China on how to build the car,” said Tun Dr. Mahathir.Back in 2006, Lotus presented an SUV concept (main image above), the Lotus APX, at the Geneva Motor Show, but the SUV that Tun is referring to here is likely to be a different, more contemporary interpretation of the original APX’s design.Proton also recently unveiled a pick-up truck concept earlier this year. More on that here.Tun Dr. Mahathir also added Proton will not be adding anymore new nameplates, agreeing the company’s previous practise of introducing a new name at every new model change was not the best way forward. ✕ Mari berhubung dengan Whatsapp Kami mematuhi Akta Pelindungan Data Peribadi untuk melindungi anda Saya bersetuju dengan Terma Penggunaan dan Polisi Privasi Carlist.my Saya bersetuju untuk menerima komunikasi yang diperibadikan daripada Carlist.my dan penjual kereta, ahli gabungan dan rakan kongsi perniagaannya.
