We know that the 2013 Toyota Vios is set to be officially launched in Malaysia next month – the order books opened in mid-August for the car, with estimated pricing revealed, and earlier, we pretty much ran through the impending arrival’s specifications and equipment list from a brochure. Not much left to do but wait for the car to be unveiled.

Ah, but there’s still a bit of time to go, and as such, UMW Toyota has come up with a teaser campaign, one that involves some photo taking – you stand to win a gift, and there may be a chance to preview the car too.
Starting from tomorrow until September 22, the Vios will be showing up at hotspots around Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Johor Bahru as part of the Vios Spot & Snap Cruisers programme. If you happen to see the car, snap a pix of it and upload it to Facebook – UMW Toyota will be handing out gifts to those who post a picture of the car on their Facebook timeline.
Apparently, you might even be able to get a closer look at the new Vios during the activity period, given that the company says in its press release that “brand ambassadors will get the public to get up close and personal with the all-new Toyota Vios.” Which should mean more than just a mere peek, presumably.
You can check Toyota Malaysia’s Facebook page for the date, time and location as to when the Vios will be nearest to you.
