Local Press: Why do we evade Saher? - Arab News

Saher is a great beginning... it may have its on shortcomings, as it is at an early stages of implementation.

As the author rightly mentions, world over authorities are struggling to control the havoc created by drunken-driving. Something we don't need to worry in KSA. But here our challenge is the 'intoxication' of over-speeding !

We should not look at it as something imposed on us, but something for our safety.

Everyone of us who gets behind the wheel has to be responsible - to himself, his family and most importantly, the society.

Mazda 2 Launch

I personally had a chance to get to know the planned launch of this car.

Mazda is not in to big numbers, but they operate on a niche segment. Some of my friends, who drive Mazda, are very satisfied with the brand and service. They plan to stay within the Mazda range of cars. That is interesting. I have not heard such consistent comments from any other brand owners.  That is the strength of Mazda in KSA. With this launch, they have widened the range and has a product to target the youth segment.

It is great, even in a market such as KSA, they are raising the bar with this model and highlighting their eco-friendliness, fuel efficiency, etc. The youth need to be aligned with these important issues anyways...

Knowing HHA, they would ensure this segment with its own youthful preferences and tastes, will satisfy them.
