heh... the manufacturer's FC is just an "estimate".

fyi :: the Satria Neo I pilot for year now doesnt exactly match the "estimated" FC....

um.... thats not how the basic pre-tensioners in proton works....... no high-tech electronic sensors there

exactly.... so I dont want to imagine how it will work if Proton really installs those type....

One word :: KABOOM!

yeap.. airbags are really small bombs

But that pretensioner thing.... there is some sort of mechanical type that is none explosive..
if its explosive.. then that has to be a lot of bombs in there to blow up.. everytime someone does an emergency brake.....

its just a pressure controller of sorts in there, some sort of belt tightener device.. no bombs

who are we kidding? this is a Proton Saga :: not a tank

Just drive safely. Rm 35K machines will come with RM35K level of safety equipments
So its not a Volvo in there

BLM is just the development code name (e.g. like what Longhorn was to Windows Vista)

The true market name is Saga

wrong post just now

yes.. it also had a shot of the interior under construction from the sides.

Looks like black top, grey bottom, and it doesnt look like anything from the savvy?

Added on January 6, 2008, 9:46 pmIts personal preference...

I still can never understand these things myself

1) Honda City is beautiful???? wtf...??
2) The Interior of Vios is cool! ??? huh?? no kidding.........
3) The Latio is physically nice...... ok.......

And if i'm going to say hyundai designs are good (because frankly I really think they are) - i'll probably get shot.

So you see..... beauty is subjective - else fat girls will never marry - but they do marry... so see??

gentle reminder :: this is not a car to race around with
As long as the torque is reasonable... I don't think anyone should care about the "top" speed....
want to speed? get a DC5

hmm.... it would be sweet but.... not until all the old "milo-tins" are off the road first.
The level of safety equipment in malaysian cars are still not good enough.

question.... why r we even trying to gauge the max speed of an economy car that is not built for speed in the first place?

actually with this econo-car - 160kmph is a bit overkill especially in Malaysian roads....
Still drive safely people.

Say.. I wonder if any taxi company's had started placing orders for the N-lines?

Dude..... I drive a black colour ride...

Take my word for it, once the dust specks settles on your beloved black ride... especially after a nice rain..
you'll wish you took another color... that diagram you draw hardly come close to the real situation.. really.

By the way, most air-borne dust you will see on the car will be slight brownish - akin to sand color. Of course that also depends where you park your car or drive your car to.

but hell... once you get that baby washed and waxed up... you can use its surface as a mirror

This I will agree though since I requent dusty construction sites now and then. So my car tend to gather more dust..

But in any case... even parking the car after a car wash at home, I can see dust spots after heavy rain.
Of course.. if you wax the car.. you dont get those dust imprints. Then again.. who waxes every weekends anyways
