Hay! If you saw a Proton in the wild you’d know to stay away. If you saw an Ebony you’d always know it was hiding.

No other color seems to generate so much "jealousy & envy" as Proton Yellow - wonder why?

People says :

I'll never forget the day I bought mine...No other color seems to generate so much "jealousy & envy" as Proton Yellow - wonder why?
I was at the dealership in November 2001, looking at a used '99 Ironman, and mentioned to the salesman that "I like the Ironman, but what I REALLY WANT is a PROTON, but they are all gone!"
He replied, "We have one sitting on the showrom floor..."
The rest is history.

Something similar happened to me - someone had just bought the last Proton and I was about to order a Foxfire when I got a call - the Proton had been returned - the guy's wife just couldn't deal with the color - I could barely contain myself!

Yup - Astral's are 'one bullet Barney's'. One pass & they got nuthin left.
But soft, what light through yonder window breaks,
It is the East and Proton is the sun.
Arise fair Proton and kill the envious moon,
who is sick and pale with grief
that thou her maid art far more fair than she ...
Sorry Shakespere - Rekin we'll never see Romeo & Juliet the same again.

Some of my Proton's "marketing pics"
Mileage getting near 48k, but with me in Qatar for a year, it probably won't get many more miles on it for a while.

"I've been waiting for a new picture..."
I was wondering why you hadn't chimed in yet.
'Nuff said - if Scott drives a Proton then all the other colors are .... WRONG!!

Actually, when I had my '99 Astral and went to trade it in for my Proton (I just had to have that color), the salesman said, "Now remember, you have to wake up to that obnoxious color everyday!" All I said was, "It's ok, the color matches my personality to a T."
