I guess the Price tag is just not acceptable by many malaysian. As far as I know, next year will have more add-on to Latio and it stays at same price. surprisingly since June 2007 until now, 4 months already, not many Latio on road.

Wow.... Its almost the same quality as the one I saw in Singapore last weekend. High Quality material (maybe slightly different from JDM) and finishing... Latio Sport have all the rear reclining/ folding seats. Interior color, Black with Silver lining OR Beige with Wood Lining. Looks like the MR18DE (1.8L engine) is only for Sedan version. Manual Tranx also for Sedan version. I think All Latio should have CVTC. Maybe got option to opt out (SG has). Plus one more point which is different from JDM (if not Japan than Singapore), the Msia I-Key, Intelligent Key has a Panic Alarm button, on top of the lock/unlock button. Wow... that's the way, Tan Chong Msia. (I've asked Tan Chong SG sales girl, unfortunately, they dun have a button to pops up the trunk door) That's all for now. I saw the Impul Series personally at SG roadshow, gotta tell you... The Rear Wing spoiler its gorgeous!

Latio Sports will be priced at RM88-90K range. I think this is what you pay a little more for a more roomy car than VIOS/CITY. However, with that 109 HorsePower, I think VIOS is a much better efficient car in terms of performance. Why ? VIOS is a 1.5L car but deliver 106hp and Latio is a 1.6L only deliver 109hp. Latio Sports/hatchback is a car in between a VIOS and Altis. It is not exactly a direct competition to VIOS. If u take a look closer, it a a complimentary in between the gaps (between VIOS/CITY to Altis). In fact, it is a direct competition to Yaris, JAZZ.

TCM, listen to this. If you don't price the Latio 1.6 below RM80K (to compete with Vios & City), I don't think it will sell well just because its engine capacity is 100cc higher bigger. Before this, TCM has been known to offer reliable & quality Sentras with attractive pricing compared to the competitors. Hope they don't spoil it (like what happened to the oh-so-expensive Teana which should be Cefiro replacement).

So, we have latio 1.6 and 1.8, I think the 1.6 HR16DE should have more than 109ps, maybe because our 1.6 latio didn't come with CVT transmission...
