The sales in SEA is still continuing as currently the assembly plant is in Thailand. There's a nego between Daewoo and GM Australia to focus a plant in Shanghai, which means Thailand plant will only produce small amount of Chevy cars while Shanghai will do the rest and export it back to Korea, Thailand, M'sia and Australia. There's also plan to centralise the sales and service back here in M'sia by channel it to Cergazam Sdn Bhd, which is currently the biggest dealer for Hicom. Cergazam Sdn Bhd is selling all 2009 models and they no longer have any 2008 stock. They are also currently the sole dealer for Hummer in Malaysia. For those who owed a SAAB, Cergazam can do the servicing of your car there with original parts. I have personally tested the vehicle (2.0 Diesel) by taking it for a spin to Penang and Kuantan (for fishing trip). The car handling is smooth and solid and sufficient power to carry 5 adults with luggage. Even my trip to Kuantan was a supprise because there were 3 of us with ice box (50Q ice box) and other fishing equipments, overtaking was effortless. Althought the diesel price and petrol price in M'sia is not much difference, but I guess this is a superb deal for those who travel outstation alot and a full tank can easily take you for a 600KM ride.

Actually, as early as last month, they have just finished selling of their 2008 models (with discount given).

But a bit pricey for a 2.0L diesel korean car made in Tomyum land...if cbu korea might be acceptable for RM160k price tag. The beige interior also a bit let down though it looks more roomy compare to the 08 model where its all black inside...It may entice potential buyers but what about the resale value??That's what makes me think twice before to pen down signature and flushing off the booking fees...
