So many cars to write so little time. I mean I have to write in between having teh tarik, coffee, running errands, going to meetings, events and also the time when I am busy doing nothing. The doing nothing part is nice if you know what I mean. Anyway, I am going to write reviews about these cars pictured below:
The new Proton Perdana 2.0 (and a little on the 2.4) out on real roads. The B-Road bash and the highway run. Both very relevant to motoring enthusiasts. The car, based on the eighth generation Honda Accord will be at home in the hustle and bustle of the city. D segment cars most of the time are. But does it perform when you want to go AutoBahn-storming or B-Road Bashing? Actually, yes it can probably going to be the cheapest way to cruise in excess of 160kmh without breaking a sweat (in terms of drive fatigue, entry price & long term maintenance), if you're buying a car brand new. Wait for the review folks.
The Volvo SUVs - The XC60 T6 and the XC60 T5. Volvo's mid-sized offering in the SUV category. Very accomplished vehicles. Does the extra horses (306hp vs 240) and equipment make the extra cost to purchase worth it? The T6 is above, the T5 below...aside from the wheels and a tiny badge on the rear hatch, it looks so similar.
The Volvo S60 T6 (pictured at the start of the article). Last I reviewed it this compact executive chariot torque steered and wheel spun its way when you gave it the booty. It actually does better this time after driving it for more than a few rounds around a selected route. I took it up to Genting!

And one on the Ford S-Max 2.0 Ecoboost too. This is the sweetest handling MPV you can buy these days here in Malaysia. Really. Not a bus at all.
This, and many more actually. There will also be another on the more basic entry level Ford Focus - the Trend. At around RM120K, is it good value for the performance enthusiast? Is it also a better buy than that other 1.5liter Turbo on the market that costs over RM135K? We'll try answer that.
Dammit. I need 28 hour days, 9 day weeks.
