New Proton Saga Official Launch

The New Saga has been launched officially at 18 January 2008 by the Malaysia's Prime Minister Dato' Sri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. During the launching, there already 6,000 unit has been booked. The New Saga project is taking less than 2 years (to be exact is 17 months) to be completed, starting from iniation stage until the launching.

Proton is targeted to sell 60,000 units per year. This volume is a reasonable target since the previous Saga model is the most succesful model has ever built. The old Saga has been produced since last 23 years and has been use in more than 40 countries.

The launch of this new Saga is really a good sign for Proton to start going strong back. Proton already has their own engine (Campro), also capable to create our own design (prevously designed by Japanese / Europe engineer), and Malaysian people are started to believe again in Proton. The reason is simple i guess, since Proton no longer bounded with Mitsubihi, proton starting to produced their own product without using outside technologies, well, not 100% now, but sooner or later they will...
