Proton's New Car

This week on Cruise Control, Ariff Roose kicks off the news as the team muses over the changes, or lack thereof, in car sales after the recent enactment of SST, and an upcoming demerit system for driving related offenses. We also share the limited but exciting information we have on Proton’s next model, the X70. As Volvo calls for a common language for autonomous, self driving cars, Daniel Fernandez gives his take on the implications of such a policy move. We wrap up the episode with a review of the Nissan Serena S Hybrid, a car which sales have skyrocketed for, in the GST-free months.
