Proton Saga 1.6 spotted on test-drive
The existence of a 1.6-litre variant of the Proton Saga is no secret, because it has applied at the taxis, the '1.6' badge on their bootlid. They have the more powerful Campro engine, and also required to be modified to run on NGV, a condition of licensing for city taxis.
So far, Proton has been saying that they are not selling the 1.6 variant to the public and it is only for taxis. The reason could be the price would be higher than what is acceptable for the model but for taxi operators, it is cheap because they get tax breaks with their taxi licence.
However, our freelance photographer saw these two Sagas over the weekend and what caught his attention at first was their speed – they were going well above the speed limit for the North-South Highway near Seremban. Then he spotted the trade plate and TEST DRIVE sticker on the bumper and finally, the 1.6 badge. For sure, this wasn't a media test-drive since we didn't know of any and when we checked with a few different people in Proton HQ, the answer was the same: 'no, there are no plans to sell to the public’ and 'we are not aware of any test-drive event in Seremban’.
So what were these two cars doing? Perhaps the R&D department is doing some validation testing for export models if there are no plans to sell this variant in Malaysia? According to MAA data, Proton has sold 151 units of Saga 1.6 in January and February this year and 79 units last year. It is believed that the plant produced around 800 units last year and so far, none this year.

The article is taking from Motortrader, this is a good news if the 1.6L engine applied on Saga even the price will be adjust a little bit higher. For some reason that the saga will be more powerful because of the weight & save on the fuel consumption. I like it :-)
Unbeatable Anfield…!? Fantastic Game for Chelsea
There is a new hero came out from the team, as before I was not clear about his history, Branislav Ivanović, now I known who is going as the “shadow killer” for chelsea in future. 
The hero of the hour let his captain do most of the talking, as Branislav Ivanović made a modest exit from Anfield after his two headers helped Chelsea FC to a 3-1 victory over Liverpool FC in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. It is fantastic!!!

I like MPV...
Avanza - G.Livina - Exora - Gaint MPV
The MPV in Malaysia Market is quite challenging, there is many option to choose.
I like the Grand Livina very much which it can fulfill the Malaysian requirement; it is a nice car as I have been testing it in a long run & short usage. The 1.6L category is good enough & powerful for engine even is Auto Transmission for carrying 7 persons.
However for my current situation, it is not allow me to change any new car because of economy crisis. There are 2 local model MPV is coming soon in this 2009.
The Proton will came out the Exora, as I was see the report from other blog, the feedback of test drive is not so satisfaction, therefore the price is also a high load for me :-(.
I hope this year the crisis will go over, and then if I can I feel well to choose another model which is Perodua New MPV (it is body design following Passo Sette). As it was not a big size even is having a third seat place, the price is being announce not more than RM66K. It was quite a good deal with the 1.5L engine :-)
