Here’s some shots of the Daihatsu version of the new 2nd generation Toyota Passo. If you want to know more about what’s changed with the 2nd generation car, you can head on to the story about the Toyota Passo version. The platform is most likely similiar to the 1st generation but there are new Dual VVT-i engines. Look after the jump for the gallery of the Daihatsu-badged car. Perodua’s version will come soon I suppose!

Comments on the blog post about the 2nd generation Daihatsu Boon (likely the new Perodua Myvi) reveal mixed opinions about its design, with many critics describing it as boring, unattractive, or copying other car styles like Kia Picanto and VW Polo. Several users discuss the car's rebadging, noting that many Malaysian brands, including Proton and Perodua, rely heavily on rebadged Japanese or Korean models, which some see as a business strategy to save costs or improve sales. There are concerns about the car’s looks, with some preferring previous models or suggesting that the new Boon might replace the current Myvi, while others criticize the design quality. A recurring theme is the disappointment with local car rebadging practices but acknowledgment that such models remain popular and top-selling, often driven by perceived value and incentives.
this could be the replacement of Myvi..eh..hold on for sec..Toyota own Daihatsu..so could this car got a stuck pedal?..its remind me to Perodua..hehe..beware..they got some Toyota item in it.. :-))
I think, maybe this the model that Perodua going too bring in… MY friend working at perodua said in 2011 Perodua will be launching new Myvi replacement. The size is between current Myvi and Viva…
but i hate posers… buy as PERODUA MYVI… put Toyota logo, japanese stickers here and there… they thought the car is JDM but driving style is still 'kurang ajar' malaysian style…
God I'm really pissed off to perodua for this!! they're just gonna rebadge it again with only a little mods and OVER THE TOP pricing!!!…their car has no soul! no identities! they never grow up……………..
Not many people realized Toyota taken us for ride as we blindly love T-brand, in some case me included (for certain Japanese and American models: Estima, Tacoma, Tundra, iQ and Land Cruiser).
I believe, Toyota will give us MK 2 Passo/Boon to be slap as new Myvi. Good as sequel model will force P2 to have replacement model sooner.
Bad, if they'll give and treat us like second class market (more possible) as we're too blind to force them give us better product, on par with JDM variants. My bet, P2 variant will get less modern engine (remember, Toyota always give us less modern engine/specs to JDM as well as European variants).
Toyota group definitely using Asians to finance their heavy loss in more affluent market. In Jan/Feb 2010 Utusan Konsumer, UMWT stubbornly denied their Vios owners complaints about their cars problem.
If p2 thinking to sell this car around Rm50k, please included dual vvti; stop-start technology and try to follow styling cues from iQ. I'll buy, too. Even better if they'll bundled aforementioned stuffs in efficient turbodiesel powerplant.

aiyah another boon ermm no komen lah.. plz dont compare this to our other car manufacture just comment about it lah u all nih both diffret segment of car hehe .but it will soon come to malaysia with diffrent badge called perodua
oit staff ko nih pepandai jerk erkk saga blm nape ko tak taruk heheheheh
Well, Toyota Passo / Daihatsu Boon with Perodua cosmetic = 2nd Generation Perodua Myvi. It could be replaced next year?
Anyway, I still prefer proper sedans or hot hatch (Satria Neo, 2011 BMW 1 Series or the 2010 Audi A1) Hahaha….
The problem with most of the Perodua models are the small boot / luggage space. So, who say Perodua "Building Cars People First"? It's not actually a practical car! I've seen the car owners having problem to put their goods that they bought with 4 – 5 passengers on board.
Watch out for Perodua MyVi Mk.II with this license plate: POY05!

Boleh gak letak plat lesen :SYOH5….. Jgn risau, paling pun 1setengah tahun lagi Malaysia dapat downgrade rebaged sebagai perodua dengan teknologi usang toyota yang telah diperbaharui vendornya serta harganya setanding sedan tetapi masih mengekalkan ciri2 compactnya… ya… sememangnya Myveey2 evolusi…. (Enjin tetap pakai DVVT aje)…
Pity Savvy owners they can't put any badge on their ride. Wait till mew Waja Lancer-based. A brilliant move from merely producing home grown car like Persona, Gen2.
paul, are you sure this is 2nd gen daihatsu boon? boon is also known as Sirion and if it does count, then this is the 3rd gen Sirion aka Boon aka Passo.

yeahh as i said, at that time p2 salesman must be in trouble
" ini keta engine jepun mari tarak macam proton local made" ..
for me by re-badging your car like you are not satisfied with your current ride. it seem like you 'marketing' you dissatisfaction of your ride everywhere you go by saying that (for example) hey everyone……. i am driving toyota passo! not perodua myvi!!!!
thanks to stupid govt we can’t afford the original model.
Azman..u ketua pemuda UMNO ?
poor you must be driving a savvy who can’t re-badge.. oh.. you can..rebadge to SAWI

Why not change Savvy badge to others ?… coz savvy badge are good already coz of that is proton design & Proton badge nowdays are looks good already, same goes to Gen2, Neo, Persona & also Exora (Mitshubishi will rebadge Exora & Persona for they M line u know that)… Not wrong if proton rebadge Lancer for waja platform since the name waja it self show strong, currage & carisma also same as Lancer. This win2 situation coz proton get lancer tech while mitshu get 2 M line platform. I have Honda accord but i not change to Accura, have savvy that can change badge to renault clio but did not, also Exora…. need to change Badge ?… Nope… but Exora rebadge maybe will be change badge to Proton badge….. However about this Passo/Boon@Myvee (in future), nothing hype on it since they just do major plastic surgery to make it like teenager but the age u all know already right & also this are the way T to cover they loss in they "SAP" by selling this crap to asian market… So normal to T supporters to not see this as they T game play….

by changing the logo, i think it'll help with their low self esteem…cannot buy the expensive JDM cars, but at least they carry the JDM's logo…poor loser…
i agree with CK…..whats wrong with rebadging….everyone seems to be doing it nowadays…..while only certain parties get condemned for doing so.
==============
u are wrong there is not car maker all around the world doing 100% rebadge
nothing wrong with rebadging.. but something wrong with 100% rebadging
even Daihatsu got Homeground and rebadge model…..p2 on top of sales charts not becoz of PERODUA itself.. but becoz ppl tot buying p2 cars like buying JDM TnD…prrrfthhh
so later.. p1 rebadging waja lancer.. i believe it will be easily hot selling car becoz it is Japan Mitsu and not P1
Aiyo, everyone have its own taste la..dun care who rebadge and who didn't..also a car mah, can fly meh?..at least we willing 2 buy it and satisfied with our car..no need to compare with others..
Perodua will launch Myvi replacement in 2011. Surely its in their plan.
So, whoever buy Myvi this year (2010) will be getting a known, phased-out car.
Whoever wanted to buy Myvi (there's a lot of them!) better wait for the replacement. If not, buy 'old car' lah. Myvi has been around for how long?.. 6~7 years already?
Beside, when 'new Myvi' come, current Myvi popularity sure fall one.. rugilah.
i don't hate the car…Myvi i mean, just the dumb-ass drivers…i drive a car which has triple the horses from them also still wanna TRY to tail-gate/out-run me…u never drive a car before meh??

==============
u might be right…..only time will tell whether the so called waja lancer can excel in sales just by doing a rebadge and selling at a cheaper price….
thats probably the only way for ppl to buy "japanese" cars while paying less…..since our tax structure does not encourage foreign brands.
and why is it wrong for P2 to do a almost 100% rebadge?? after all P2 is essentially owned by Daihatsu anyway….so its like the owner selling another of its product only in a different area?….makes logical sense business wise to enjoy all the incentives.

==============
if they owned by Daihatsu and doing rebadge 100%… why its called NATIONAL CAR and Gov. want to protect them???
look at Indonesia.. Honda plant in Indonesia make HONDA freed and toyota make thier own AVANZA, UNSER and INNOVA but they never claim they are NATIONAL CAR MAKER??? act like hero and dont HIDE behind "big name loor…
aku tak peduli org nak pakai myvi, modified or etc…. yg aku peduli banyak driver myvi, baru tampal P, kereta standard katak, dah bawak macam jalan raya kat m'sia ni bapak dia orang punya. apa yang korang bangga ngan kete korang tu? hebat sangat ke? orang yang pakai skyline pun takde la gayat nak mampus mcm korang.
