New Car In Town!

[Carcuter88]

I was browsing around sgcarmart and stumbled across a new model - Toyota Sai

http://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/newcars_...p?CarCode=10771

 

So far there's only 1 dealer selling it.

Now what really caught my eye was how it was creatively named by the manufacturers (in sg's context).. LOL!

 

Not bad, 2.4-litre hybrid doing almost 20km/litre!

[WTF]

So it's a hybrid 'piece of s--t' that drinks very little fuel...

 

Look nice in photo though....

There was a discussion on this car earlier.

Apparently, nobody thought it would be brought in.

I doubt this car will be popular with the Chinese, especially the Hokkien. Sai sounds like s--t.

if i bought it, i will request the importer to de-badge it before i drive it off.

HAHAHAHA... Yea man. That was the first thoguth that crossed my mind. I wonder what does SAI means

in Japanese... Any nihon MCFers around?

It's ok mah! If my colleagues wants to lompang and ask what I'm driving, I'll tell them I'm driving a 'Sai chia'!

When asked, "What car do own?"

 

"Mine's a Sai... and I love it!"

[Kangadrool]

Change S to Z, becomes ZAI (steady steady poon pi pi).

[Vega]

this is a 2.4L car. is this a replacement for camry?

[Carcuter88]

Better still if you're dating a girl and you want to send her home, you ask her "Do you want to sit on my Sai?"

[Carcuter88]

I doubt so actually. I think its a general direction that car manufacturers are heading towards nowadays - Hybrid

 

The Prius is quite dated and I should think its an "under pressure" factor that Toyota have to come up with to

rival other hybrid manufacturers.

 

Btw, I think this dealer who brought in the Sai (Hycarz) specialises in hybrid cars... http://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/D1016.php

I'm going to buy sai.

[WTF]

Wonder how much this piece of 'Sai' will cost.....Prius with a smaller 1.8L already selling $105K at BM liao...

[Metalbone]

"Do you want to wash my sai?"

[Carcuter88]

I'm gonna take my Sai out for a spin. After that, I'll give my Sai a good polish

till it regains its pristine showroom condition, ready for display!

 

I wonder if Toyota will come out with another model called "Gio".. Lol

[Kangadrool]

There is one maker with model called "GEO".

[Guest EverestLeasing]

Google and saw a website give a short definition of this 'SAI'.
