Yes, they're gonna show the whole "damn" car soon enough. And since you have quite a few days before they finally unveil the car, try googling the term 'marketing'.

Hhmn..the interior does looks kinds of "plasticly"

Quoted from paultan.org:

"The dashboard plastics do not fall into the soft touch category, but Proton has added texture so that they do not look or feel cheap..."

Much can't be said by looking at the photos. Perhaps we should see it in flesh ourselves. I hope it isn't too bad either because i'm seriously considering this car.

When the the Hi-Line eventually comes out (i believe so), what extras you guys reckon it would get over the current Medium-Line?

Finally test drove the the Saga this afternoon. Overall test drive experience is pleasing. The handling is especially good and the absorber is great too. However, i do not quite like the way the engine rev (i drove an auto one). When asked about the high rev before the power kicks in, the SA explained to me it is because its drive by wire system. The engine sounds a bit harsh during high rev (3k - 4k RPM). Generally, the NVH is ok but nothing to shout about. While of course you cannot compare this (the NVH) to expensive cars like a Vios, the Myvi - a slightly more costly car - do fare better in insulating the engine sound.

yeah, i noticed that too... that's why i've been toying with the idea of a 2nd hand city, but the interest rates for 2nd hand cars are just so high... on a side note, all things being inferior, i think the saga definitely handles better than the city.

The car does handle well. On the way home, i drove my friend's Myvi on the exact route i did with the Saga earlier. And believe me, you CAN feel the difference.

Yup, that was my experience too. Other than that, do you notice the door handler, the one you open from inside to open your door? It gives some sort of fragile feeling.

Didn't pay attention to that but according to my friends that tagged along with me, they say the door handles (the outside ones) feel a lil bit 'loose'.
