if you park in the sun alot , better not to choose black , later when you get to the car , you will get instant sauna .

Avanza mana boleh fight with Proton MPV and Perodua MPV?
Should be Innova woh.

then rush and g.livina @ which category ?
side note, saw one fella driving a white 1950-60`sish american car just now .. nice ..

Thanks V12Kompressor~!
What's your professional opinion on the main differences between the city and vios?
Especially spec wise and driving experience wise.

Grand Livina is to fight with Innova.
Rush is 'replacement' for RAV4 woh.

rush is the rav4 replacement ? lol.i think my old car also better (fc not counted.lol) .i think the rav4 price is too exp till not many people buying ... (compared to crv lah ... )

CBU mah. That's why they came out Rush to replace indirectly.

should just bring the toyota vanguard (bascially american rav4 sold in japan ) alo much better ... lol . though price people will complain . lol

As usual mah. UMW likes to bluff Malaysians mah.
You know which models that I mean.

Professional?

City is more towards performance and technology while Vios focus on simplicity and delivers impeccable build, since it is a Toyota.

Spec wise, both cars is the same mechanically, just that the higher the spec, the more electronic stuff to pamper the driver. When choosing spec, you just got to ask yourself, do you need this and that for the car. For instance, some will take the "G" spec since not everybody wants a sporty look in the "S" spec and some will think like "I will be driving this car alone most of the time, therefore it eliminates the purpose of passenger airbag", thus one will choose "E" spec instead of "G" spec.

Personally I'll recommend getting the "E" spec Vios if you're thinking of buying one. Go for the "G" or "S" if you think you really need the extra goodies or as an extra precaution (G & S comes with dual airbags).

no way, i'm sorry andy but that's incorrect. The Rush is NOT a replacement for the RAV4. In fact RAV4 is still in da market and it comes with a V6. UMW has never and will never bring in the RAV4. They are just a bunch of old farts who think they know what's best for the m'sian market! Boooo!

Stoner, actually UMW brought in the previous RAV4 before and it fails miserably. It's overpriced and not up to date, technology wise. Only appeal to chicks.

The Yaris shares the same faith with RAV4 a few years later...

No, bro, I don't mean that Rush is to replace RAV4. I don't mean that.
It's like a cheaper version of RAV4. They don't discontinue RAV4.
This is my explanation.

they really did? i thought they were grey imports

bwahaha, why so serious andy?
i get that way when we talk about umw. I really dun like the way they do things
But seriously, they should consider to bring in more toyota models and not grey importers

UMW is just playing safe, so safe that it actually kinda destroyed the company. UMW now is only good at bringing in sedans and IMV models such as Hiace/Hilux/Innova/Avanza.

The Wish for example, is a prime example of "slowpoke-ness" after years of domination by grey importers. Luckily they didn't officially bring in the Estima, Ipsum, Caldina, and Alphard too, or else only god knows what will happen.

Even the officially brought in Lexus RX300 isn't doing quite well. More metals are moved out from grey importers rather than Lexus M'sia.

Yaris is another failure. The introduction of Dugong symbol by UMW.

Because I really hate UMW. They suck.

UMW sucks. Look what they did. Cut-cost version of Wish sucks.
Models like Innova and Avanza really sucks. 1.3litre Avanza and you declare as MPV and 7-seaters? WTF. Tak boleh pakai.
Look, I only bash UMW, not Toyota.
