The Gen.2 is launched.

How do you pronounce that?

Is it "Jen 2" or "Jen dot 2" or "Gen (as in "Gun") Dua" or is it...omigod, we're going to have fun with this name.

Fun with the name aside, it looks like a really good small car.

All my cynical instincts tell me to wait for the other shoe to drop but I'm just going to enjoy this feeling of pride I have in our Proton.

I think they have a very special car on their hands.

Let's hope the market thinks so too.
