Just with Triton and Xpander
Where as previously MMM lineup was rather much more exhaustive – (e.g. in 2015:) Attrage, Mirage, Lancer, ASX, Pajero Sport, Triton
Guess this is an example of quality vs quantity.
It is call focus.
Tesla is one of the biggest by focusing on a few models
X90 or Xpander?
Now, BR-V has left the market.
If X90 product plan and target market is the Xpander / Alza / Veloz… it will have to price it below 120k. Otherwise can bungkus and go back China.
They should be aiming for the CX8 and Santefe
Mazda CX-8 2.5Turbo 420Nm
Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2Turbo 440Nm
Powerful but makan minyak
Diesel pickup and trucks should be banned. Mostly low IQ or OTC otak tak centre people drive them and leave engine idling.
Diesel trucks are as economical as a myvi. Plus turbo power and 4wd.
May now MMM can consider bringing in Xpander Cross 2023
Bring in the new Outlander
Outlander phev uses mitsubishi engines and parts . Non hybrid ones uses nissan engines.
Just two models and sold so much.
Independently imported recondition mitsubushi delica awd selling for RM270k . I would go for that if opportunity arise.
