New Proton Savvy

Today the malaysian car manufacturer Proton has launched its 'long-waited' model - "TRM" (Tiara Replacement Model).

Surprise that its name is "Savvy", kinda like "myVi" that was launched by another msian car company last month. Trend to name things ending with "vy/vi"? Anyway, that Savvy sound and spells like "Samy", our 'beloved' minister here.

On the way back just now, all proton showrooms were full of curious people. Of course I won't miss the chance. IMO the car is small but not cute enough. The outlook is merely okay and with a price of RM42k, it would hardly beat its rival myVi, which has an overall better reputation and quality.
