Sometime June last 2007, I saw Daihatsu Terios (P2 nautica) and Sirion ( exactly look like P2 Myvi) were on displayed in one of the shopping complexes when i was in Jarkarta Indonesia. The selling price for Terios was under RM60K on the road and Sirion was selling at around RM40+K.
Malaysian have to pay extra RM30+K for Terios to the government to protect and babysit our 23 year old retarded baby ..... Proton. This retarded baby still produce low quality car like SAGA BLM as witness in this thread:

I don't know when will Proton can ever grown up, producing good quality cars and be independent without protection from BN government. As long as Proton can not compete in the free world market, we as rakyat of Malaysia will continue paying a price to buy non national cars in order to keep this retarded baby survive.

no forumer review this car?

Seen few in KL. Ya, it is the "original" car compared to the Rush. Minus the cosmetic changes, I think its quality fared much better than the Rush, and not many people with their crowd-mindedness accept this fact.

Well, most Malaysian are brand-conscious and crowd-minded anyway. 

And how do you know people don't need a cheap full-time 4WD?

Different car catered for different individual you know.

About the original part, it is a Daihatsu bearing a Perodua badge. It's a marketing strategy under the Head Company.
Well, I might be wrong anyway. 

Because the Rush is using the Avanza's platform instead of the Terios? And that the Terios was originally meant for 5-seater?

If I'm wrong then I humbly apologize here 

LOL...... go go buy a daihatsu badge and get the bumpers from chop shop
