[quote comment="96478"]Best Safety Features in Mid-Car Segment (Malaysia)
Toyota Corolla Altis 1.8G (A)

are you kidding? Why not the Honda Civic 2.0 instead? It has 4 air bags![/quote]

safety doesnt only mean the number of air bags, overall safety inclusive of chassis, impact absorption abilities, crash impact test results, etc

Hey, I hv been told this award is nt from end-user ie consumers’ point of view. It’s more from the business PoV. For that, it’s nt surprising then for Myvi to win for selling well, so from the business PoV, Myvi gives P2 a healthy pocket indeed.

As for safety, it’s unsure, bt probably it’s based on features per price, bt even then, I still disagree. Altis may be the only car in its class to hv VSC, bt Focus, which is cheaper, has the recognition from the world’s toughest crash test. This is indeed, a case of Focus totally ignored in this country. To me, that’s even worse than giving Proton Saga the Best Model of the Year. Ford Msia, has disappointed me (as well as other Focus fans) big time.

not happy with the result heh??? i’m neutral with it because it have nothing to do with me.
they finalize this result is because their organisation has already spent and invested a lot of money to do this kind of investigation and research according to the market condition.
and if u r not agree y dun u set up ur own personal firm and do it urself using ur own money.

The most pathetic award ever. My version:

Best Model of the Year (Malaysia)
– Focus mk2
=The most underrated car here. German engineering, European styling, cheaper than Civic, who gives a sheez abt depreciation? Also, Didn’t Ford won last year’s after sales category in JD Power Survey? Who is to argue with the most credible survey in the automotive world?

Best Safety Features in Mid-Car Segment (Malaysia)
– Focus mk2
=5-star Euro NCAP, anyone wants to argue with this?

Just because they come from the US and named in English does not mean that they are 100% credible. People have right to question when things look a little bit funny. A critique here and there is not a big deal.
Sometimes we give too much credit to everything ‘Mat Salleh’.

And the awards are only for Malaysia. So, understandable lah if the choice is not so quality. That reflects our stupid car market here.

Frost & Sullivan is a globally recognized US-California-based consulting firm with the force of over 1000 certified analysts & consultants and currently has its operational presence in more than 25 countries worldwide. Their expertise includes growth consulting, market research, financial analysis, and international comparative reports.

So when some of those “who-think-they-are-so-smart” people that always likely to keep on questioning, degrading and laughing on the awards credibility, it just make me to think quietly…Yeah no need to argue further with this kind of people, the way they jabber, already signify their state of wisdom.

After all, the awards are perpetuated by Frost & Sullivan and certainly it prerogatively have it’s own measurements, criteria, calculations, jurisdictions and standards to decide the eligible recipients. So to those ‘people’…hey you can establish your own award selections too and let the mass decide which is more reliable…your’s ? or Frost & Sullivan’s ?

i’m quite curious on the year of award…2007 hasnt ended so is this award for 2006? because anytime a contender can appear within the year and grab the title….no?
based on the results for best model and best safety…..arguably its true but i’m not sure about the awards for companies as we cannot see the real picture.
reason? simple…..best model = best selling, good design(ppl wouldnt buy 1 if its ugly isnt it, even if thats not true, ppl buy it still becoz they dont want P1), spacious, decent price, a bundle of equipment, and value for money.

best safety for mid-size….i wonder who can win this title, toyota already had TRC+VSC included, LED rear lamps and also auto illumination of headlights in dark areas with its GOA body acclaimed, which competitor in that category offers more? civic? focus? errr sentra out, latio no. maybe anyone can suggest?

Personally I would take the awards with a pinch of salt. After all, Frost & Sullivan consistently bestows their Service Provider of the Year award to TMnet and has done so for the past three years. I mean, it’s not as if we’re spoilt for choice.

one thing for sure this kind of award
doesnt give us consumer any good..

trick, treat it juz like some kind of advertisement..

juz my 2 cent..

By: mofo

mofo — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 00:47:06 +0000

er… my 2 cents

Best Model of the Year (Malaysia)
Perodua Myvi

Best Model should be combination of Price Tag, Safety standard, Design, reliability/maintenance, Spacious within the segment and Engine/Technology offer within the price range.

Within the combination and the price tag, no other car in Asean could provide that i believe so. So no doubt for me, Myvi has done great job.

LittleFire85,

Bro shouldn’t pay attention to the prrffffthhh penYu but of course if her rubbish is correct all this while, Frost & Sullivan, a global growth consulting company is really from some kampung because they choose Perodua Myvi best model…

Or maybe Frost & Sullivan, a global growth consulting company got bribed by Perodua because the latest Proton Saga also selling like hotcakes but didn’t get the award….

Memang bebal…
