    let’s do a survey here. Among all PT fans, how many of u have booked the latest Innova Zenix? Come on, don’t be shy to tell us here.
    I was expecting it maybe RM135k for a basic spec and probably RM160k for a high end and/or hybrid and boy, was I so far off…. It broke my heart seriously. I was really really disappointed.

    • you’re clearly not their target market. you can still opt for the innova, not the innova zenix. it’s within your target price.

      How do you expect the pricing to be similar to Corolla Cross when one is smaller B segment, locally assembled 1.8 vs the other is bigger C segment CBU 2.0 dynamic force?

      So,by Christmas UMW might hit 95-100 thousand units.
      Eventho prices keep going up,without the tax holiday now…hardcore Toyota fanboys still buy.
      I believe the Toyota mgmt have done an excellent BRANDING job.
      Like it or not,some people will not have another brand except a Toyota.

    In PH Msia the rich are getting richer while the poor are forced to consider only the utterly unsafe Axia E, a car that the previous Transport Minister said would never have came out under his ministership.

        Mr.logic…Without politics,Ahlokekor wont be elected MP n subsequently appointed Wee Wee’s successor.
        U cant separate politics from car sales,cos the menteri pengangkutan might reduce car taxes one day,who knows? Then sales might shoot up.
        Of course,we talk more on cars than the mamak becoming “green”.

    Your first sentence gives the impression only 8k+ was sold for the whole of H1 2023. It’s getting from bad to worse, your writing.
