saw this car up close and personal during my trip back last
weekend
i must say that it's very impressive, especially the interior. i'm
rather surprised to note that the interior beats the likes of the
current Camry and Accord (in my opinion - maybe cause i prefer
sporty interiors, like the IS200 
)
don't get me wrong, i'm not biased. it's just that i've always
thought Proton interiors s*cks, but this car definitely changes my
opinion
not bad for a car priced at RM53,000+. probably reach singapore's
shores at SGD60,000+ (just a guess)
personally, i would choose this car over the Proton Waja priced at
RM61,000+. afterall, both are 1.6L. a Civic costs more than
RM100,000+ (so freakin' pricey)
however, heard some rumours that the 1st batch of automatic gear
boxes are problematic (sigh .... msian-made, what can we ask for?).
this doesn't really affect me though, coz manual rulez! 
waiting time for delivery is 6 months! goodness gracious (great
balls of fire) 
see the "mickey mouse" ears?? that's how my mum desribes it
