I'm very curious who would buy the Rush now since Aruz undercuts it by RM20k by replacing the T badge to P...

Vios won't be impacted by MyVi as it's a different car when you look at it....but this Rush & Aruz is the exact car just with different badges! rclxub.gif

The ones making the most noise are the "loan reject" category. Perhaps they were expecting the price to be same as City/Vios & thus can upgrade to the X70.

What they fail to understand is the marketing behind the X70. Dr Li & (Geely) Proton no longer wish to compete par on par with Perodua. The rebranding exercise encompasses new products that are competing with Conti in China, not the entry level Japanese A & B segments M'sian are familiar with.

See the buyers of X70, they drive Mercedes BMW and buy the Premium variant perhaps as the 2nd or 3rd car. They're also more mature (ie older).

Nope, your target audience is wrong...

I spent 6 hours in the new Puchong showroom (while waiting for my car's routine maintenance) and what I observed is actually, X70 is not meant as 2nd or 3rd car to the 'mature' conti/Lexus group but for their kids.

Most of the buyers I observed came in either an X5/GLC/Harrier...then buy for kid yang baru cukup umur... the other buyers I saw was 1 which came in new Perdana to buy X70 for SYT dotter and 1 that came in new CX-5 to buy X70...

The rest yang not the above, masuk showroom, have a look, test drive, take brochure and left.... whistling.gif

I know purchase was made coz this showroom will open a brown file once booking is placed.

6 hours (!!!) for routine maintenance??? Wow, Proton needs to up their game in after sales service (which incidentally is one of the KPI of the rebranding exercise).

So, in the 6 hours there, how many brown files (new X70 orders)?

Yup, good thing the aircond was good with free wifi, drinks and nasi lemak (both edible & for looking brows.gif )...

Based on what I can see, at least 12 files were opened... bruce.gif
