There are two specs: E which is high specs and S which is normal specs. All pricing will be release roughly around Wednesday, but Thursday will be an official date thought out whole Malaysia. E & S different: -No Fog Lamp -Smaller Rims. 15" inch. Design is much less nice compare to 16" Y shape word around. -Rear seat non foldable -No side mirror turn indicator -Normal audio system -No paddle shifting -Steering is on can be adjust vertically -Lesser comportment for example: Place for you to place your drinks at rear seats. I may miss out some of the differences Picture, I did snap it, but it is just the same as those picture that we saw in Thailand, India and Singapore. I think in Malaysia, we are getting the same audio system as Singapore, which have CD player, instead off just having IPOD\ USB connector.

Wanted to take pics but phone out of batt. The behind, wheels and nose were covered by white sheets of plastics/paper. They looked nice, but still subcompact size. They looked bigger in the pictures too. But overall, if I'm in the market for a B-Segment, and wouldn't mind shelling out around 80-90k RM, this would be the car for me.

It is not a dream. Hyundai Matrix comes with Cruise-control. Suzuki SX4 comes with 8-speakers hifi. Peugeot 308CKD due launched in 2009 will come with all these plus more..All these cars is priced at the same price range, i.e. rm85K-95K.. I do not want to bring Vios in, as I personally felt Toyota is even worst then HM in bring in cars with content that does not match the $$$. We have to live with the reality of high car price with NAP still actively used to deprive us of affordable car. Just imagine in Singapore, Singaporean earned S$ and they pay at least 30% lesser than us in owning a Honda City. Not to mentioned Autralia and US which is only cost them a fraction of their annual salary to own a new Honda Accord. But we have to accept the facts that we are living in this country call Malaysia and car price will be higher with NAP still in place. If can afford the price and need a new car now, then choose wisely based on "Value for Money".
