Proton will launch their new Proton Saga very soon, and most of us can just eagerly wait for the official launching of the car to actually be able to touch the car, feel it and look it at it with our own eyes. Recently proton held a media preview, one of fellow blogger, headsteadi stayed at the same hotel where the preview was held manage to take few shots. Unfortunately his battery run flat, bummer. Jump over to his blog for more pictures.
Some of fellow blogger, the prominent one actually, paultan was invited (i assumed) but not sure whether at the same location or not manage to test drive the car and ready his extensive review about the new BLM, hands on. Like Paultan said, other site/blog is kinda outdated already like this one because we are not lucky enough to be like him, the privilege few. So lets wait for Paultan extensive review, especially on the performance of the new generation campro with IAFM and ride and handling.
How many of us has booked the new saga? cdason did. He suggested the name of the new saga to be proton saga 2. It’s very unlikely now I think as the “official” product brochures print as saga only. Whatever the name is, the most important one is the quality of the car, hopefully proton will deliver their promise this time. The photo below taken at Proton factory at Tanjung Malim.
Thanks to MOKH997, we are now officially don’t have to wait for the stage-by-stage teaser by Proton to see the complete Proton BLM as now we have the official brochures of the Proton SAGA. The name is only SAGA, the BLM is the codename, It’s not like SAGA LMST (What’s LMST?), its just saga, the new SAGA. In previous post, we can see the clearer picture of the exterior and interior of the BLM, in this entry we can see more details about the BLM, its offering, features highlight and technical specifications minus the price.
The front side of the brochure is as above, featuring the good looking mountain blue saga. Good angle and everything but very bad photoshop by the printing/ad/graphic designer. Why can’t they make window transparent to make it more realistic. I’m talking about the passenger side window, it should display the back of the blm instead of the gray color. The message is very clear thought, A new saga begins.
Last night TV3 confirm that the rumored price of the upcoming Proton Saga BLM will be around RM30K - RM35K. This is very interesting, and today, in the newspaper we already can see a side view of the BLM, mostly in turquoise color including on Proton website. Many other thing confirmed as well such as the logo, new logo will be silver instead of gold on current proton, not sure though only on the new saga or on all other protons as well. From Savvy Sedan to Proton Saga BLM, we just hope proton success this time, and hopefully, the quality is there as promised.
Since official video is in Quicktime format and not everyone have it, i converted it to flv and upload it to youtube. Enjoy the video dude, and please prepare to be amazed.
And most of us will be happy with Proton decision the keep the SAGA name, hence a new saga begins. Enjoy the screen grabbed from the video, the back and front outlook of the BLM is so nice and sporty. This will definitely sell like hot cakes. Will this kill viva or myvi?
