Alot of people have been asking what colours are the Perodua Myvi available in so here’s some photos for you guys. These photos are from the media review and test drive track session held by Perodua at the Sepang International Circuit. So here’s the Myvi rainbow, there are 7 colours.

Mistik Red, yum!

You can click the thumbnails for a bigger photo.

I personally dig the Mistik Red and Ebony Black ones… they look absolutely hot! Just imagine a black Myvi, polished nicely to a blinding shine, full side skirts and front lip, nice sports rims, coming around the corner with HID lights… absolutely delicious!

In case any of you are wondering how the Mistik Red would look like with a bodykit, like TRD’s bodykit… check this baby out. Isn’t she absolutely gorgeous?

More photos coming soon… so stay tuned!

Perodua Myvi Launch

May 19, 2005 @ 9:30 am · Filed under Cars, Malaysian Makes, Perodua

Can we see the latest compact running around on roads tomorrow? Rumours are saying that the Perodua MyVI is going to launch on 25/05/2005. That’s next Wednesday people. I personally think tomorrow which is 20/05/2005 is a bit nicer. After all it’s 20052005. Hehe

I have friends who have already booked the car. Can’t wait to check it out! I’m not this excited with Proton cars new launches coz I know they only churn out one disaster after another. Perodua is different. They have Toyota blood in them. That makes their cars worth waiting for

It’s official, the name and logo is out. Check out Perodua’s website. There’s a flash game there that you can play, something to do with finding the words MYVI in one of those puzzles. There’s also an online test drive form.

Perodua Myvi

April 23, 2005 @ 7:27 pm · Filed under Cars, Malaysian Makes, Perodua

LATEST UPDATE: New Perodua Myvi facelift launched in Malaysia

Here’s the next newcomer to the Malaysian automobile market - the Perodua MyVI. It’s based on a Daihatsu Boon. Rumours say that it will come with a 1.3 liter DVVT engine and 1.0 DVVT models. The 1.3 should be the same K3-VE found in the Kembara DVVT and the Toyota Avanza, and the 1.0 should be just a smaller displacement version of it. Prices will be between 42,000 ringgit to 52,000 ringgit.

This is the original Daihatsu Boon. It’s available in 1 liter 2WD and 4WD configurations and 1.3 liter 2WD configuration.

Why Myvi? I’ve heard someone say the My means Malaysia and the VI represents the sixth car that Perodua has come up with. Kancil, Rusa, Kembara, Kelisa, Kenari… yup. The Myvi is the sixth. There are also other explanations to what MyVI means, such as Malaysian Vision, My Vision and My Vehicle.

I’ll predict that Daihatsu YRV turbo halfcuts will be even more in demand now
