New Perodua MPV 2009! Wow! Proton vs Perodua!

Wow! After the Proton MPV that i had reported earlier on, the Perodua also release news that they will release a mpv model too in 2009! Means that we will see 2 national MPV born! Detail about the Proton MPV can be view in my previous post. Link: http://jefferynet.blogspot.com/2008/02/proton-mpv-2009-on-test.html


2009 = MPV year
The Proton MPV is schedule to be marketed during first quarter of 2009. While that, the Perodua MPV is going to be released on September 2009.


Perodua MPV = Baby TOYOTA WISH!
About the Perodua MPV, Datuk Hafiz told us that the new MPV will be a 3 row 6 seater mpv. He likened it to Toyota Wish but with a smaller size. Wow! we will have a baby wish! Cool. What's more, the Proton MPV also use Toyota Wish as their benchmarking purpose and we can expect that new Proton MPV will be Wish lookalike too!
-
-

Recently, there is a news that Toyota and Daihatsu is going to develop a new MPV in Indonesia and it will be launch somewhere in year 2009 too! So we can assume that we will see the Perodua MPV to be based on that model.

Perodua MPV replacing Toyota Avanza?
Why i say the new Perodua MPV will be replacing Toyota Avanza? Just to let you know, the Avanza is origin from Indonesia too and this model are designed mainly for South East Asia market.
-
In Malaysia, the Toyota Avanza is produced by Perodua and badge under Toyota brand. So its normal that it will be discotinued when Perodua come out with new MPV which will be on same category with that 5 years old Avanza.

How Perodua MPV might look like?
There is few rumour on the net discussing about how the new MPV will look like. There are few version of rumour in net claim how the Perodua new MPV might look like. The most make sense is the Toyota Sienta, Toyota Rush or a completely newly built up new model.
-
Rumour 1: Toyota Sienta?
The first rumour is the Toyota Sienta. Toyota Sienta is on the same category with the new Perodua MPV that going to be produce, so we might able to see this model being redesigned and sold in our market.
-
Here are some shot of Toyota Sienta.




















The Toyota Sienta is introduced in Japan since 2003 and most probally it will be replaced by new model in Japan. But it doesn't mean that this model is dead as the Toyota might recycle this model in other country and do some redesign. This is a clever trick from Toyota in their effort to achieve economis of scale.
-
The Toyota Sienta is powered by 1NZ-FE 1.5L VVT-i engine. So it is same category as the Toyota Avanza. Compare with Avanza, Sienta have longer wheel base which is 2700mm compare to avanza's 2655mm. It means that we might have a comfortable 3rd row seat to fit in adults instead of the Avanza 3rd row seat which can only sit 2 kids.
-
Another difference with avanza is the rear door design, the Sienta rear door is sliding door design and it is equipted with electric sliding door in Japan! If it comes to our Perodua MPV, sure it will rocks! The third row seat can be also foldable or remove and can keep the seat right under the tray under the second row seat. This is a brilliant idea for the third seat folding.
-
If you think the outlook if weird, don't worry as Dato' Hafiz already told us that they will produce baby WISH. So even they comeout with this model, they will for sure redesign to exterior look.
-
Rumours 2: Toyota Ractis?
Another rumours will be the Toyota Ractis. The Toyota Ractis is more Toyota Wish look alike if compare to Sienta. There is rumours says that the new MPV might be the extended wheelbase version of the Toyota Ractis.
-
Ractis is powered by same engine as the Toyota Sienta while the Ractis also available in 1.3L variant. The Ractis is introduced in Japan in year 2005 and had been years we hear rumours that Toyota will bring in this model to Malaysia. However, we do not see it in the showroom until now. So perhaps the Perodua will bring in this model as their new MPV.
-
However, the Ractis is a 5 seater mini MPV. So to make it a 6 seater MPV, Perodua will need to do some job to extend the Ractis wheelbase so that it is long enough to accomodate 6.
-
Personally, i prefer this Toyota Ractis design as it gives me the feel of Toyota Wish and Estima! Its such a cool machine! Wow!

-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Or can it be new design?
The 2 model i mentioned above is just rumours and not facts. The new MPV might be based on other model or even a completely new design model! So what we can do is just be patient and wait till more spyshoot of the MPV coming in later when they put the MPV on test.
-
-
Off topic a while: New KEMBARA on MAY!
-
Let me off topic a while, the Perodua also planned a debut for a new generation Kembara in this May. For your information, the new kembara is the shorter version of Toyota Rush and having 5 seater capacity instead of 7 seater in Rush. The new generation Kembara will be a completely built up unit imported from Japan which will be higher spec than the Indonesia assembled Toyota Rush. For more information about the new Kembara, visit my previous post: http://jefferynet.blogspot.com/2008/02/perodua-kembara-2008.html
-
-
Well, here comes the end of my post, wish you all like it. If you planning to get a new MPV and not in rush in obtaining it, my advice is just wait until 2009 when both Proton and Perodua launched their model then only you buy it to avoid regret. Thanks for reading my blog! Wish you happy always!
UPDATE!!! Insider infomation about PERODUA MPV!

I'm sick...

Yesterday is really a "good day" for me. Why i say so? that's because im having sorethroat already ler... Somemore yesterday is the day i need to perform a presentation.

So what happen in my presentation? I was just present with all my energy to present word by word. Its very tough to talk loudly when you are having sorethroat.

Luckily, my condition allowed me to present all the thing i need to present. Just happen a incident that im too stress and forget everything i want to present! End up i was just reading an emergency script that i prepare in case i forgot my content. Brilliant? haha..

Luckily my tutor, Mr Lok appreciate my effort and give me 17 mark out of 20mark for individual part. But i really never expect can get this mark as im perfomaing so horrible due to nervous and sorethroat. Thanks Mr Lok! WaKAKA

Now, im having a even serious sorethroat thanks to my presentation yesterday. My throat is bleeding, i cant talk, only can eat porridge and forced to fill my stomach with water. Lol!

Haha.. really hope i can recover soon la... help! I dont wanna sick!!!

Nissan GTR crashed in Malaysia!!!

Wanted to own a sport car? My advice, think before you buy.


Recently, there is one Nissan GTR crashed in our country. For your information, this is the 2nd GTR which crashed. The first is from Hong Kong while the second is from, Malaysia. Wow! Malaysia Boleh!


Here start the show of GTR!







Nissan Skyline GT-R35, powered by a 3.8L VR38DETT twin-turbo V6.
Price? It starts from RM700,000 and above.



Below are the Nissan GTR which spotted in Sunway area few weeks ago. Its very new!







Really jealous the owner of this car as he own my dream car. (Lol... when only i can afford that? Perhaps dream?).


But...


The owner of this car get an lesson from not learning how to handle a sport car properly before handle this beauty.

Here are the lesson that the driver get:











The Nissan GTR that crashed is a Singapore registered but crash in Malaysia. Perhaps the driver think that Malaysia road is more challenging to race and our law is not as tight as Singapore? From the picture, we can see one thing is that the GTR is very solid and having strong protection against crash. As we can see the driver cabin still remain nicely while the engine bay is totalled.

I think the heart of the driver is totalled too as how the car totalled. 700K is not a small amount and it just crash like that.


After see those picture, i believe most of you all still wishing to get a GTR because it really looks great. but i think its wise if you attend the professional driving training before you start handle this baby. The car is perfect if you know how to handle. If you do not know, then disaster is waiting. Professional course will not causes you that much if you already able to afford a 700K GTR.


Just my little advice. Lets hope that no more accident in Malaysia.

Make your $1 worth more at hypermarket!

I think most of us are suffered in inflation rate right? In chinese, people always say "钱不够用", in english means the money in pocket not enough for usage. It is true! Dont you feel that the inflation rate are far more higher than our salary increment rate? Here i would like to share some tips to help you all to save money!


Tips no#1:
Always research for the cheapest price before go to shop!



There are plenty of ways you can check the price before you go shopping! You can read their ads on news paper. Some hypermarkets will even send their full catalogue to our doorstep!Take 2 or 3 hypermarkets leaflet or advertisement with you and browse it while you are free perhaps the advertisement time on TV?







Dont have leaflet or newspaper to refer the advertisement? No problem, just go online and browse their website. Some major hypermarket will also post their leaflet online!


Here are some website i have:
  1. http://www.carrefour.com.my/
  2. http://www.tesco.com.my/
By comparing the price, i believe you can get the best deal in town right?


Tips no#2:

Always look at the bottom shelf

Some hypermarkets will tend to hide their promotion stuff at lower shelf and put non promotion stuff in the higher shelf. This is a trick as we will always look at the higher shelf as it is on our eye level. Therefore, we might miss the promotional stuff on lower shelf!



See picture below, do you realise that there is a promotion tag at lower shelf in the picture? (p/s: do you feel the baby is cute?)






Tips no#3:
Be early bird!

I think this tips had been common to all of us. However, being late still one of the culture in Malaysia. But!To get your RM1 worth more, you must be early bird! Just sleep early the night before and wakeup early! You will surprise that some hypermarket will running on early bird promotion at the morning. Besides, shopping at earlier in the morning also increase our chances to buy promotion item before it is out of stock.


Tips no#4:
Stock in more when there is promotion!



Make it a habit that to stock in more when there is a sale! When there is a sale, the item that on promotion usually will be lower than usual. For example, our favourite chocomalt drink MxLO 2kg economy pack is sell at Rm24.90 at sale while its normal price is sold at RM27.90. Wow! you save RM3 on 1 pack! And the MxLO usually can put for 1 and half years before it is expired. So, why not you stock in half year stock? If your family consume 6 packet in half year, then you can save RM18 in one time!



With this few trick, i believe our RM1 will definitely worth more!



So, Let's make our RM1 worth more!

Honda Accord 2008 to be launched in April 2008!

Recently, the Honda had announced that the new 8th generation of Honda Accord is going to released soon at april 2008. The press media also been invited to Japan for the test drive. Here, i would like to share with you all about the picture i have.




The Honda Accord is grown in size and improve its aerodynamics with this generation. Compare to the previous generation, the new Accord is 76mm longer than the previous model, 28mm wider and 22mm taller. This means that the passenger comfort has improved! The luggage space size had also been increased! In US, the Accord had been categorized as large sedan.
For your information, Honda Accord comes with 3 engine variant, the 2.0L, 2.4L, and 3.5L V6. The 2.4L engine produce 177 horsepower at 6,500rpm and 218Nm of torque at 4,300rpm. This is claimed to be the highest engine output of its class as the new engine is improve 7hp from its older generation accord. The more powerful engine option will be the 3.5L V6 engine! It can produce 268 horsepower at 6,200rpm and 336Nm of torque at 5,000rpm!
The 3.6L V6 engine also equipted with Honda developed Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) technology that will able to achieve both fuel efficiency and performance. It does so by running all 6 cylinders when maximum power is needed, and reducing to 4 or even 3-cylinder modes for fuel efficiency.
The suspension system for the new Accord is still the same with its successor, it remain using double wishbone front suspension at the front that will give a great driving experience. Another point of the new Accord is the variable gear ratio steering which it will give great stability in high speed and better response in low speed. The new Accord also have smaller turning radius than its older generation, make it easier for driver when park their car. Besides that, the Honda Accord will be also equipted with vehicle stability assistance for the 2.4L and 3.5L V6 model.
Interior wise, the new Honda Accord will featuring auto-dimming inside mirror, compass, multi-line display CD/MP3 player, auxiliary-input jack and subwoofer. However as usual, we might not see all these when it is launched in Malaysia.
On the safety feature, the Accord is equipted with 6 air bag which is two side curtain airbags, two sets of front dual stage airbags and two side airbags.
This month, the new Accord had been spotted on road test in Malaysia and a blogger named Tony Yew had snapped some picture of the new Accord while he is driving along North South Expressway. There are 3 unit on the road that time and we believe that the 3 car is the 2L, 2.4L, and 3.5L V6 version.
As conclusion, this new Accord will be launched somewhere in April and mostly we will get 3 engine variance. In my opinion, i do really hope the Honda tagged the price at RM130,000 for the 2.0L version so that more people could afford it and it might be threat to the Camry.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1

Do you believe? Sony Ericsson running window operating system? It's first from Sony Ericsson. The machine is named XPERIA X1. Basically, it is a PDA mobile with alots of mobile functionality added.





The biggest selling point for X1 is its 3 inch wide vga screen which is 480 pixel x 800 pixel. Wow! WVGA screen! Thats on par with the Nokia E90! Its even outpace the Nokia E90 as it has a touch sensitive screen.

Beside that, this mobile is running on Window Mobile operating system. Window Mobile had been well known for its business and also entertainment function. However, the user interface of the Window Mobile is differ with the standard Window interface which is claim as boring by most user. Sony Ericsson had redesigned it and give the XPERIA a customisable panel interface which is designed for fingertip navigation comparable with the interface found in APPLE IPHONE.





The QWERTY keyboard are hidden under the screen. The keyboard can be slided out when you want to use it. There is a special point about the slide out keypad, as the keyboard design is featured "arc slider". The XPERIA will curved when the keypad slided out, this will give more comfortable touch for the user to use the keypad. This ergonomic feature is a unique feature that we do not find in other phone yet.




On the camera, the XPERIA X1 comes with a 3.2 megapixel camera that feature auto focus and a flash. This camera will be also able to record VGA(640 x 480) quality video at 30fps.

Just like the other window mobile's phone, the XPERIA is also having great media support such as WMV, MPEG4, AVI, WMA and MP3 format support. Besides that, FM radio also included.






On the document processing, the XPERIA is comes with pocket version of Microsoft Office Word, Powerpoint, Outlook and Excel. The XPERIA also comes with a Internet Explorer, push E-Mail, and RSS reader to enhance the machine's internet capability. What more, the XPERIA also embeded with agps support which will be compatible with all satelite navigation software.

Being a business phone, the network support is a very serious factor. The XPERIA comes with tri-band UMTS, GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA, HSUPA and WiFi connectivity. The HSUPA is a new type of broadband connection system where support the download speed of up to 5.7mbps!

However, there are still some dissapointment with this XPERIA. One of the biggest dissapointment is its screen. The screen is just a 65K colour screen which is quite outdated in the market as now phone are equipted with 262k or even 16m colour screen. Another dissapointment is the camera. I believe most of us expect a 5 megapixel phone but the XPERIA just comes with a 3.2 megapixel camera.

The XPERIA will be in the market in second half of year 2008. Overall, i would consider this as a nice business PDA phone. For those interested, just wait for this new business phone to deliver in our market very soon!
