Supplier for Toyota here.

The car itself looks OK, quite trendy from behind, the power sliding door on both sides feels smooth, even the version without power sliding door at one side feels effortless while opening and closing.

The dashboard design is quite minimalist, nothing fancy there.

I would personally prefer the Orange color one, paired with black strips it looks sexy.

Overall, for the price, its definitely bang for one's buck.

Assembly of first batch of 500 cars will be done in August. Another batch of 500 cars will be done in September. I think this quantity is for showroom cars only. I think Toyota is not very optimistic about the sales volume of this car. Normally like vios they'll hantam 2000 cars for the first few months.

Sienta Assembled in Indo right. So UMW need AP to import, so could it be limited number of  AP they hv?

Can choose this over Vios coz of VSC, slightly bigger cabin and resemble star trooper!

You're absolutely right, its imported from indonesia, and what they do here is to install alarm system, some car accessories and then it can be qualified as CKD cars and therefore have certain tax incentive.

it is that simple To gain CKD status?why dont all manufacturers bring in CBU then instead of investing heavily in plants here?

If you've seen what i seen you'd know that that's how things work around here, Mitsubishi Triton cars came here via PKFZ from Thailand, they stay there for some minor installation and Voila! its locally assembled. Price also competitive against genuinely locally assembled cars like Hilux.
