Will not touch with a 10 foot pole - that front light, to replace if damaged in an accident - die lo.

Ths Xforce in the main has been developed for Indonesia market primarily. Indonesian cannot demand powerful engine because at that country, RON 92 grade petrol is retailing @RM3.80 equivalent per L.

Ron 90 grade is already retailing @RM2.24 per L

Our Malaysia current Ron95 is only RM2.05 per L

Be grateful because our Ron95 is cheaper than their Ron90 by almost 10%

You are considered rich if you buy a Xforce there because most still ride motorcycles there


Fret not, when subsidy rationalization is eventually rolled out here, you may change your tune and say `bersyukur' to 1.5L Mivec

Most considered Xpander face is too excessive , some also say Chery Omoda face is hard to accept.

But some how Chery Omoda sell quite well (until Proton blame Chery has eaten into its cakes)

while Xpanderr becomess best-selling non-national MPV for the third year in a row, edging out newer rivals such as the Toyota Veloz.

It works man, it god damn works

You just need to priced it right

Regardless of the price of fuel, I just remembered that the traffic jams over there are on another level. The average driving speed is about 20km/h ish. So, there is no point of having a more powerful engine.

our market is money driven

1. low purchase price
2. perceived good resale value
3. benefits and package provided when buying

our purchasing power is under pressure
thus mass market luxuries don't do well
i don't see the second coming of Smart cars to do well
