Say goodbye to Toyota, and told ur fren never ever buy Toyota.
Ya, and their jamban junk cars can throw into my yard as scrap metal and potong parts (there’s a facility nearby) if can’t sell (safety count as good as none yet still ‘jual mahal’).
honda mareisa hide facts la..
toyota already won back B-C-D segment in recent months..
these PR team twist their words so that in the total 1H looks like they won. but in actual lately they start losing.
SAMLOO

Wow so many vtec wannabe fanboys unlike me. Paid by some PR agency is it?
Accept the truth!!

I’m not a fans of any Japanese car but one thing I want to point out is those higher range car or MPV i.e. hybrid cars, Alphard, Vellfire, Aeras, Fortuner….. are far more popular and sell-well worldwide compared with what Honda have Elysion, Odyssey…… All these segments are in fact contributing huge revenue to Toyota but not the B, C segment sold here in Malaysia.
Not to mention Honda is missing the market of commercial vehicle. That’s why Toyota is making money and stand steadily at the top of the Japanese car market.
Not to offend Honda fans here but that’s the fact.
Toyota have wider range of conventional cars and commercial vehicles, yet Honda beat Toyota with only conventional cars.
The only thing that keep Toyota above are their own commercial car, if not
they cannot surpass Honda.
that is only happening in malaysia – a small small market. Toyota still no in Thailand, Indonesia and Japan. Tell me in which country Honda is no 1?
ya, honda dont have hilux, previa, etc. u see on the road, so many hilux, estima, etc. honda have nothing to compete. they only can rely with mostly sedan cars of city, civic, accord. people would choose estima, alphard, vellfire over odyssey..u should know why. eventhough without pickup and varieties of mpv, honda still can break honda record just base on sales of sedan. dont forget about jazz, toyota have nothing to offer in this segment. yaris? naahh. but honda is brilliant, they bring in hrv, nothing can compete even rubbish rush..but mazda can maybe. in the future, i dont know wether this news true or not, crv gonna be a mpy when honda transforms crv from 5 to 7 seater, just wait n see. this gonna boom the sales of crv. cant wait to see crv will be giant like q7. oh, i dont want to talk about hybrid cars.
Civic needs to buck up!
The next gen civic is just a few clicks away. I wonder what would happen if Honda Malaysia only sells the 1.5L version here. After all the roadtax would be same as a myvi.
Toyota stop dreaming.Wake up.No more under specs Vios. 4 speed auto cannot sell with your price. Up your Vios with at least 5 speed auto or Altis type cvt.If possible with paddle shifters or tiptronic. Honda City shortchanged Malaysian customers with no paddle shifters. Thai specs have paddle shifters.
I owned previous model 5speed with paddle shifter but sold it. Most owner agree we don’t need it for tiny engine and even on current model with CVT. Thanks god now they give 6 airbags on V-spec.
Just pray they will throw 1.2Turbo in future model. Game changer ?
the actual fact is – most car owners with paddle shifter will forget the existence of such functions after 1 month buying.
no, they are not race drivers and they spent most of their driving in traffic jams where D is the best choice. paddle shifting is something no one will opt in crawling traffic.
istop like mazda will be more practical in jamming city…
When is Toyota going to come out with the competing B segment hatch and SUV? Please… don’t tell me Avanza is the answer to CRV and HRV. And please don’t tell me Myvi is Toyota answer to Jazz.
such a big hole in the model lineup.
they already got what..rush and yaris..haha
Toyota does have rivals for these models but UMW just doesn’t wanna bring them in.
There’s the Yaris (brought in once but priced at 90k, crazy! And 2nd gen is missing) and RAV4 (super handsome but UMW doesn’t wanna sell it here. Dumb ass!).
Rav4 have this ugly front, and overall boxy, I think everyone can agree that Mazda CX-5 looks best in that segment.
look back in history – it was Toyota which introduced the compact SUV with RAV4 almost 25 years ago.
honda and landrover followed suit nearly 5 years after (with CRV and Freelander).
Toyota has enjoyed 2 decades of good sales. nah, toyota will not bother with Honda HRV sales in malaysia.
Almost 44K? How is this compare to Iriz?
i was thinking that City is so good plus HRV and Accord… that Honda sales are doubling. but sadly, increase was only 17% which translates to extra 6k units. nothing outsanding only marginal.
Sam “Buntut”: Shit, i cannot say Honda no RV.
:p
wow , the name Civiv is totally missing in that list…but no surprises ..
good model line up , better than ur fierce competitor(toyota) and u have good business…sounds simple!
Malaysia can have a successful local car industry by buying over Honda and rebadge ‘Honda’ to become ‘Proton’.
No need do any research, no need build cars from scratch, just take over Honda.
30 year old problem solved with ONE solution – take over Honda, by force of course
Nobody like sleek and sexy Hondas in a Proton Badge, and Proton’s service will kill Honda.
Now bring 2016 civic with turbo engine to claim back the crown of that segment :)
what we love? Nice car, nice spec , nice price = Honda <3
This means the Altis reclaimed the throne of C-segment after so many years?
Yeah, current civic is just too old, and that lame rear… 2014 Altis totally killed it. Wait till 2016 civic take revenge.
Dr.M must B very jelous..”potong” being outnumbered…easily
I’ve been driving the previous facelift toyota altis dual vvti with CVT. Honestly speaking the car is very comfortable and quiet. Quality is good. No regret buying the car. Maintenance is cheaper also.
As long as its not a kimchi, it will have RV
