From the shape of it, it looks better than that Renault. And can notice the Savvy-like cabin structure. Cool.

Price it rm27k like Iswara and kiss good bye to P2.

They could just ask Gov help, twist the meaning of excise duty, and give us a rm27k sedan without voilating AFTA.

Not only that, even Gen2 looks like Renault Megane:



So what's the deal having Renaulty look. As least it is no longer same as the model from 1985.

What can you demand more for BLM? It's suppose to be just a simple car with four tires, and at least fuel-injection (Campro 1.3 I hope). And Renault-ish feel.

Corolla name also still using after decades, why not Saga?

Unless they still wanna sell the famous Saga for taxis and this BLM is just another new model line. Just like Gen2 and Wira...

What's more important is it torquey and zippy enough to maneuver in city area, or it has to resort to hi rev to attain what iDSI's torque in < 3k rpm.

Walau damn chun. Why this one look so much better than Waja? LOL.

Really, my KE70 steering is so much lighter than Iswara powered steering. So power steering is not much use for compact sedan anyway. BLM without power steering is acceptable.

The whole full range of Viva is overpriced, not just the 989cc. Kelisa & Kenari fair so much better. I think Perodua bribe to get the Supermini category for Viva.

Low capacity engine benefit more with variable intake than cam changing.

No problem bro. MyVi doesn't have variable intake manifold (it is just a dumb hot air intake), and no cam changing at all - just variable valve open-timing on the intake side - or simply just variable phasing. And on the outtake side just a dumb cam.

There shouldn't be any difference as far as the description goes between DVVT and VVTi.

IAFM, VIM are to improve air flow on different conditions by changing the path/width of air intake flow - longer narrower swirl path for low rev, and shorter wider straight path for hi rev. Keyword is efficiency.

CPS is to have two (or more) different configurations of valve lifting (AFAIK, similar to VTEC), one for normal driving, another for crazy driving. Mainly to have more 'input' into the combustion chamber on the hi rev. Keyword is performance.

If 3rd gear cannot go up, then downshift to 2nd.
If 2nd gear cannot go up, then downshift to 1st.
If 1st gear cannot go up, the car can throw.

But so far even Kancil can go up, so WTH with 1.3L?

Let's start counting...

Saga 1985~ (23yrs!! finally being replaced, but still selling?)
Wira 1993~ (15yrs, already WRM but still selling)
Perdana 1995~ (13yrs already, time to change)
Waja 2001~ (7yrs already, time to change?)
Gen2 2004~ (still new )
Savvy 2005~ (new )
Satria Neo 2006~ (new )
Persona 2007~ (very new )
New Saga 2008~

Well, the 1st batch Saga is rm23k. After Proton Knight and Megavalve, it become rm27k. And then slowly goes up.

I agree on the bolded part too.

I prefer not to have buttons, as least it is better than having buttons that looks similar to Form4 KH projects.

... BLM rempit?

Never know 1.6L Neo also cannot keep up to 1.3L Saga... Neo so lousy meh?! You sure got whack your pedal or not?
