This is a subcompact sedan manufactured by Toyota selling in Japan car market in 1.0~1.3L with in lower price. Japanese who want to buy a 1.5L and bigger car will get Collora. This is how their business ways go.

Haha…I laughed cos i do not have much option to choose a good car to drive in Malaysia. I just simply want to buy one and use it whenever i am coming back to hometown.

If national car policy is abolished, i will consider BMW. Haha. But i have to rethink whether is it safe to put in my house without anybody’s home. haha.

Salamz and Hi,

Few months ago, I chat with those Toyota Dealers somewhere at KL (place is confidential). 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.

Adooii…Toyota! What da hell? Is this what you got to beat the upcoming City? Why is it that the only nice Toyota is only the recon models? The offical wan always turn out to be rather crappy! Sigh! Toyota, you got so much money…go and ‘kidnap’ all the Mazda and Nissan designer la. Even they can get us all hype up…

This what happens when their quarterly profits didn’t perform as expected. 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.

looks terrible, the grille is better than our version though

The new front grile look better.
But is still a Vios which i not so prefer.
Vios have to come out new design to competite with the upcoming City.

A dugong is still a dugong even if it has a nose job. There’s nothing mush here. I think it is its mid-life crisis for this dugong.
