Trivia
The Savvy was one of two models (the other being the Proton Gen-2) that MG Rover was looking to rebadge when it entered talks with Proton's parent company in the 2005. Even though the Savvy was still at the design and testing stage, both Auto Express and Autocar published spyshots of the car with accompanying Rover versions that were digitally recreacted.
Akademi Fantasia winner Mawi became the embassador for the Savvy, while Malaysian Idol Daniel Lee was the embassador for the AMT model. Club
