Tan Chong need to do market research on this matter & do not accept 100% ideas from Japan. For it to be successfull & killer MPV of the year, it prices should be less RM85k. I am sure those driving Honda, Toyota & Naza will jump into the bandwagon of Livina..... The interior should be dark color to suit local taste & condition.

Its the bloody high centre of gravity that every corner makes an adventure in balancing. The suspension setup is for full load. When you're driving alone, it gets really scary when there's a huge weight shift taking the bends. Its just bloody awful. Nothing can prepare you if you've used to driving proper cars. How come there's no mention of torque and where its available? Coz that's what you need in an MPV, bucket loads of torque. You can only have it at some 2.0l engines but the mpgs on those things sucks. Therefore an engine below 150bhp will suck too. So why not a diesel? Coz Japs don't make good ones and we think diesel stinks. Neverending circle. On a people mover, chasis rigidity is not sooo much of an issue.

I did check out the indo website (http://www.nissan.co.id/vehicles/vehicles.php?pg=2&id=14&sp=1) and found that many parts are sell separately as accessories. As for basic model it does look dull and far worst then innova. Well of course, what you pay is what you gonna get...in this case if everything add up, I would say it may cost even higher then innova G.

And I didnt buy Wish because it is expensive. Hopefully this Livina is dark color inside otherwise I can just keep waiting until my kids are big enough. I wonder why they like to make it creamy colored. Stupid designer. Konon2 luxurious. My friend's Altis looks very bad with ice cream and chocolate mark all over the place. And he got only one kid.

Even last time the news also said will be below 100K that a great competitive with Avanza and Innova. Now also to their own Latio. 7 seater MPV VS Sporty Latio or Sedan Latio. Same engine.... so which is the best choice???? Before i get my Latio Sport i also consider about this as i know will be below 100K. 7 seater....good for travelling. But the worry is, is a MPV, is heavy, need more power. Can the engine support it? If cannot then will need a lot of power to boost it. Then FC will be higher. Anywhere consumer get the benefit. More choice. Ya Latio is still hard to be seen OTR. I think really the pricing issue. Livina….
