Malaysia firm's 'Muslim car' plan

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.

:rolleyes: So as far as I can tell, a "muslim car" is a "secualr car" with a compass and a book/scarf case. Is there really a massive hole in the market for something as silly as that?
 
Does it come with a place to hide a bomb?
someone had to say it

we need a smily of someone doing a drum and cymbal hit ;)

Ok, yes, it's out of the way. No one needs to say it again!

Something that can drive through sand without stopping.
 
Now we need christian cars, hinduist cars, buddist cars, cars specialy designed for followers of Pannonius...:rotfl:
I think Muhammad would drive a tank!:lol:
 
and a dedicated space to keep a copy of the Koran and a headscarf.
It doesn't fit in the glove box?

What would Mohammed drive?
A camel! Or an Arabian horse.
 
Religious cars. Simply brilliant.

I thought at the very least they would have to be blessed by an Imam or something before they rolled off the assembly line...hmmm...maybe we could set up a rival Muslim Car Co witht eh claim of being 50% more holy than the Proton model... ;)
 
Well, we already have a Popemobile.

And Muhammad would drive roughshod over all who stood in his way during his campaigns, so perhaps a car would have fit the bill nicely.

But I do have to wonder how much more they'd charge just for a compass and a glove compartment. Let the market decide!

Kidding aside, it does seem ridiculous. Any Muslim, who cares about being properly aligned with Mecca during his prayers, will already carry a compass with him at all times, and certainly not leave it in the car. In fact, in the car is properly the place where you need one the least, unless you are actually trying to drive to Mecca.
And doesn't the interior of a car count as public place? Would it even be acceptable to take it off in it?
 
All right, let's see . . .

What features would a Mormon car have? What about a Scientologist car?


Hmmm....Instead of turning this into another borderline xenophobic thread about Islam, maybe we could have some fun instead.

Going by the 'logic' of the OP, What kind of features would other Religious Cars have? (but try to keep it light... ;) )
 
A scientologist's car must have an anti-Xenu defence sistem. Just ask Tom Cruise.
 
What features would a Mormon car have?
A place to not have an alcoholic beverage?

What about a Scientologist car?

A place for any L. Ron Hubbard book that you must carry around at all times?


I'm still trying to figure out what's so great about the car other than a two dollar compass that they stuck in it. If so, they'd better have a clock so people could better tell when they must pray to Mecca.
 
Maybe a catholic car could have rosary beads sewn into the steering whel so you could say your hail mary's between errands...
 
What about a chastity belts in cars? Perfect for Wifebeatingstan!
