Toyota Vitz

If Perodua were to make a car in the same class as the Proton Savvy, it would have to be based on the Toyota Vitz.

The Toyota Vitz is in the compact car class, unlike the Perodua Myvi/Toyota Passo which is in the mini-MPV class. Driver posture, body shape and handling is totally different between these two classes of cars. One is a cute people mover and the other is a sporty hot hatch.

When the shots for this model of the Vitz first came out, everyone thought it was a Perodua car because of the logo on the front. It looked like a revised version of Perodua’s P logo. It was actually the Vitz’s own logo. Toyota has a habit of making a logo for every car. Like the Harrier has an eagle logo on it’s grill.

Toyota Fortuner SUV

If we look at the SUV market in Malaysia, it seems that Toyota is missing a contender. Honda has the Honda CR-V, Ford has the Ford Escape and Nissan has the Nissan X-Trail. No, the Toyota RAV4 doesn’t count.

UPDATE: Facelifted Toyota Fortuner for the 2009 model year unveiled.

Toyota Innova Launching on the 27th

Toyota is set to launch it’s new Toyota Innova model on the 27th May 2005. This is the latest in the range of Toyota people movers known as the IMV platform. IMV stands for International Innovative Multipurpose Vehicle. Toyota created this platform when they realised their people mover vehicles in most countries were looking pretty dated.

Most of you might have already heard of this model as it’s pretty hot in Indonesia as the Toyota Kijang Innova. It’s a true 8-seater model unlike most 7-seater MPVs.
