U are actually the first to say something good about the old refurbished Saga,... Hope the BLM is not a disappointment.

Proton's introduction of the Saga BLM is just a way to get back sales.. but I do really hope that the price will not justify the quality. Its time Proton came up with cheap, but quality models.. and BLM might be the answer. But as you said.. the price + Airbag + nice look = MUST BUY!

Having airbag for $30+k car is worth serious consideration. I've a small family, self employed with a decent unspectacular income. This new saga seems to have it all for me, decent exterior (without significant flaws), functional interior, space, reliable fuel efficient good powered low maintenance engine (so proton claims, we shall see), airbags and an attractive price line. I'm basically sold, but of course I'm aware of the claims from many 'If you wan to buy new plotonnn, wait for piew mo months lorr, when they oledi obercome all the plobrems, thenn you puyyy lorrr!' Wise words from my good buddy, Cheah. Btw, kudos to Proton for the grill design. At last, no more ugly face... now let's hope Perodua takes cue. The one that got me hooked is the airbags.

Its a good thing my review helped. Still hoping to drive the car so that I can really compare it and know whether it has that "WOW" factor. Emm.. I don't think I'll get the car that soon. *sigh* Deejay >>>definately bro.. I don't l know much about cars.. but if its a good car, and the driving experience is awesome or not.. I'll let you guys know. By the way, who cares about torque when you have words like .. "suoer pick -up.., comfortable.. and really speedy?? hahahha Fudge

I hope mine will only come after CNY. No point having a car now that the holidays are just so new. Sume more, I dont want to get the first batch. You know, the 1st batch always have hitches here and there.. The dealer kind of told me the same thing, but said the first shipment is due to come this 25th January.
