agree !! anyway, i test-drove the GEN 2 on Sat ....... here are
my views
1. exterior & interior is VERY impressive !!! if u think
brochures/pics are nice, wait till you see the real stuff !!!

2. engine quite power ........ and when revved, engine gives a nice
sporty note @ ard 4000 rpm .....
can be a noisy though .......
3. handling is good !! went down a slight bend, step on gas, body
roll is minimal ( maybe me not driving at high speed) ..... car
feels stable 
4. Doors close with a THUD !! 
5. greatest grouse --> quality of interior is SUSPECT .....
especially plastic inner door handles feels flimsy and will break
anytime ( interestingly, same as Aveo one) in fact in a malaysian
forum, their own pple are bashing the car left , right, center
about the overall QC of lack of .....
63,800(g'teed COE) for a 1.6M with 15" sports rims, leather seats,
CD changer, airbags, ABS, alarm, rev sensor, fog lights is indeed
very appetising ........ but i guess a lot of people still cant get
past the proton name .....
