” Chi Kow shin ”

Wonder who is going to buy such a car ?

Saw a smart car the other day, it is one of the stupiest car I ever seen, but this is worst.

the nissan cube looks cool too. i like boxy cars too. spacious and looks different. but i do agree that the rear looks weird.

if p2 brings in the car, they’ll surely re-design it to give it some local flavour and i’m sure it’ll look better than the original. even some british and singaporean journalists say our myvi looks better than the original so i’m quite confident of a good re-design by the p2 ppl!

That is one big car. The brake lamps could use some redesigning though, looks like somebody wasn’t paying attention while building the car. I do like the name though, Materia, reminds me of Final Fantasy VII !

Why Daihatsu Malaysia do not bring one instead? I dont mind if its 60K. But Honda Jazz-like prices is utterly insane.

What? Honda Jazz-like prices? Proud to be Malaysian!
Mission failed! ;D

Paul,

Wonder why Perodua do not bring in the 660cc Turbo engine for any of its cars. Any clue?

By: Paul Tan

MyBoy, unfortunately, likely never. Your best bet would be to ask Naza, they might be able to import one at Honda Jazz-like prices.

Paul,

When can we expect Daihatsu Sonica Turbo 660cc 2/4WD to get here (i dont like Materia). Can you please give me a ballpark figure as to how much this car will cost (in Ringgit Malaysia).

If its below RM55K (or 58K for 4WD version), i may seriously consider getting one.

This is a weird looking car… especially when seen from the rear.

except for the so “imaginative” steering, the interior is very nice. this car is availa ble here will have a cult following.

if u think this is ugly, go n hv a look at Nissan Micra older version.. urgh.. its quite erm.. ugly for me.. but many ppl driving it in the UK.. cos its cheap.. so as long as the car’s quality is acceptable and its cheap.. ppl will drive…

Weirdest design…can be Kenari RM?

By: sarawakguy

sarawakguy — Sun, 08 Oct 2006 11:48:38 +0000

EErrr,,…A “new” PERODUA “model in the making” perhaps…looks boxy..but looks kind of spacy too…..wonder what name will P2 give 2 this one…?

Nice looking little box on wheels. But, how in the world it get that arse? It kinda spoil the overall look of it for me. Are they running out of idea when designing the rear end? It is so out of propotion, not inline with the overall design at all.

I can feel the cheapness on the dashboard. It looks very plasticky to my eyes. I guess every car maker in the world are opting for cheaper materials i.e cutting more cost in the production since everything else is going up.

Anyway, good collaboration between Daihatsu and Toyota.

yet another potential p2 rebadge.

yup..couldn’t agree more with jtshin…look a few more times, and it’ll look better…jz like when savvy was launched..it looks terrible..but now..(as for me la)..it looks great!!hahaha..

okok..back to this car..it looks aggresive, solid and modern..interior is both nice and practical..there r cup holders on all 4doors and another 2 more at the same position as where it’s in the MyVi..

Well, surprisingly, I like this type of boxy cars.. Toyota bB, Scion xB… now this Materia looks awesome too. the rear looks ok after few glimpse.. first look u’ll feel strange but after a while its still not bad..

weird back, it sports rear lights which looks like a front of a car … perhaps the rear lights would make a better front for this mini monster. the back looks awkwardly out of proportion, thankgod this is produced by daihatsu which would easily get away with critics. had it been a msian made,this poor machine would never have been spared the harsh words…,
