Round & has a shape like a dugong huhuhuhu... I plan to buy Vios when I return to Malaysia mid next year. But considering the looks, I might choose City instead of Vios. Well if Toyota can come out with new design which is not dugong friendly anymore, I'll stick with Vios at that time. But my real dream car is Audi A4 or A6. But I have to wait until I'm rich enough (hopefully one day hehehe) to buy the A4/A6.

Japanese who want to buy a 1.5L and bigger car will get Collora. This is how their business ways go.

I ask him how much a Toyota Dugong actually cost (without the duty/taxation)? He told me somewhere around Proton Waja pricing, in fact the J-series should be cheaper similar pricing like Proton Persona. Thanks to our national car policy, Dugong is becoming an expensive bargain. Owh yeah, I never like Vios (including the previous model), because the driver's dash board is located in the middle of the cabin. LOL. Good "dugong" design. Heck, maybe the designer has a dugong farm at his backyard. Hahaha. Salamz and Hi,

Have to rehash something made for Other Asian market and sell it back to homeland? Based on that history trend would it be the Mk III Vios for Malaysia, with a smaller engine but a higher price still? Then they will glorify the fuel sipping inert values of this car while maitaining cost effectiveness of having the same engine as the Myvi? Hey I thought only Proton sell old model cars which never change for 20 years? Maybe the japs are learning from us how to make ludicrous profits. Sick.
