Remember the lime green Daihatsu A-Concept that was showcased at the Indonesia International Motor Show earlier this year?
It was a concept car developed with the involvement of Indonesians with the technical support of Daihatsu Japan. They were pretty vague about what segment the A-Concept was competing in though – it looked a little bigger than a typical A-segment car, but it had a lower roofline than a typical JDM B-segment tall hatchback like the Myvi – shaped more like a Fiesta or Mazda 2.
Imagine if the Daihatsu A-Concept was toned down for production and given a Perodua badge for sale in Malaysia – that’s what Theophilus Chin sought to achieve with his latest image manipulation project.
The A-Concept was given production side mirrors, a rear wiper, door handles, mud guards, a more production-looking rear light cluster, a hatch-mounted number plate holder (as with all Perodua cars), body colored roof and A pillars, and a revised front to carry a look similar to the new Myvi’s face. It’s colour was also given the popular bluish grey Perodua paint.

Aiyo, another jaguh kampong product in waiting!
OMG…damn nice. The front view look like baby Myvi.
Copy cat again. SO disappointed…..
The front look like Hyundai Getz .
dude…it’s just a rendering…what’s with the pointless disappointment?
my dream car! viva is the best!
eventhough perodua is jaguh kampung, but still the best of local car in term of quality.. i’ve experience with gen2, very serious problem with handbrake even proton mechanics also dont know the problems.. (aiyoo)..
when people said perodua is copycat company, did they realize that proton also a copycat company when they launch saga, wira and perdana? give perodua some time.. now we can see, daihatsu using perodua new “lagi best” as daihatsu sirion in indonesia..
Sorry lost respect for them when they removed the side impact protection bar of the vehicle ….
Its as good as telling the customer I rather you sacrifice your life so that I can save some money.
A motor bike will slice into the vehicle at just 30km/h impact from the side.
Just open the door panel and check your cars if the side impact protection bars are still there …
alza pendek………
agree. alza versi pendek.
NICE ONE
wahhhh the current viva so ugly and and new one is gonna be so nice?? cool!!! anyway hope the design will be something similar to this..
if the new VIVA looks like this…confirm beli…
If prices remains .. mee too. :)
If new Viva like this, Proton can dump Saga to taxi’s
yea la… thats why P2 always win the ‘awards’…. the most stupid buyers award!!! pay more for the less hahahahaha
When it comes to capital items such as cars, it’s ok to pay for quality if you can afford it – going by your logic then MINI owners must surely deserve the award you are giving too! I doubt they think you are right protonmania. In my mind buying poor quality is the silliest thing to do, especially when its a car, & the lives of your loved ones is at stake every time you drive.
it it looks like this, perodua will have another big hit!!! i wonder when will the SE version or the rendering come out???? enlighten us plzz…….. A job well done..
2 thumbs up
damn nice looking athough i have a fiesta…
fiesta? damn nice looking although i have a jazz
Jazz? Damn nice looking although i have a Polo. (Please reply guys) :P
Polo? Damn nice looking although I have a Mini Cooper S.
Cooper S? damn nice expensive car you all have although I have a 30k Sutera XD
Cooper S? damn nice expensive car you all have although I have an EX5
Sure another lagi best coming. i’m goin to sell off my 8 years old kelisa for this.
ermm…..gila best….
it looks nice… solid looking body… nice front… rear remind me of mit. colt.
Do i like it?
Yup!
even if the Viva looks like this… if its built quality is still like the current one.. so kosong.. how la?
exterior design quite nice, if they can improve interior with better quality material, this will be better. Also engine, gearbox, overall handling of the vehicle. If they put in turbo for the car, it will be best… but I know I’m dreaming, never going to happen with car such price in Malaysia…
From Kancil to this… nice…
Indonesian develop this car? Wow!
Indonesian develop original Daihatsu where M’sia develop Perodua?
Please don’t do that… please do the right thing… be original!
The front looks like Hyundai cars
Wow … bergayanyer..
your wish
assemble that babyt right now!
Why the hell haven’t they employed Theophilus Chin to work with the design in the local automotive industry?
theo need to have a degree n industrial design…
it is not just as easy as making a sketch like this…
his design is ugly
If you want the SE version to come out,you have to wait for:
New Viva Elite then,
New Viva Limited Edition, then,
New Viva Ekslusif,then,
You got Viva SE
if really perodua launches this then its gonna be named viva extra elite exclusive extraordinary extravagant executive edition… then the tagline gonna be lagi lagi lagi lagi lagi lagi best!
maybe Viva Elise pulak..kira racing skit
Front is damn cool weiiii… But the rear.. width of it looks abit penyet.. slightly wider should be PERFECT !
Beli, jangan tak beli !!!
Fabulous.
it looks like a cross between the chevy beat and hyundai i10
cannot lah…. If like this viva will be looks better than the new myvi liao….
New Myvi exterior without bodykit don’t look too good. Prefer old Myvi but new Myvi interior is nice.
If this comes,I BUY!!!!!
Kelisa is still the best!!!
nice! i can tukar my CLK with this one!! (Cute Little Kancil)
I think it looks pretty sweet.. Even better than myvi..
I say Perodua should pay Theophilus Chin for this design and make the car. XD
comeeee tooooo papa..
I like… don care if it’s a copycat as long as it does the work, I like it….
blakang mcm vw polo jew… mmg cun abis..
wah cantik balakang nampak mcm vw polo jerr….
shit car !
Very good looking tin Milo!
look like milo tin with painted color … shit car indeed … from a money sucker company , made in peoples money sucker country
like it!
looks better than new myvi
Yes… Myvi can put aside already.. New Myvi really ugly.
If future malaysian compact can look like dis, damn nice. Wat about engine n interior n chassis? Tamau lah rupa lawa tapi dalam all tahan 1 year je.
End of the day, all Malaysians who buy this car ( or any car in Malaysia) are suckers.
The prices paid for the local cars are still more expensive compared to equivalent cars in countries such as the US or Australia.
The prices paid on imported cars are obscenely more expensive.
And then we take out 7 to 10 year loans paying interest on an overpriced and depreciating asset.
So big picture wise, even if this theoretical Viva is a fantastic machine, we will be suckers for buying it. We’ll only feel a little better when you see your neighbours buying a Proton and you wonder “why on earth would they do such a thing?”
so did you do any part to brainstorm some solution your whining? no?
typical keyboard warrior
