The New Proton Waja

Long - waited Proton Waja will be arriving soon




Is this the most talked about Proton Waja 2 that the whole Malaysia is waiting for? Is this the elusive so-called second generation of Proton Waja which is based on the well-known Mitsubishi Lancer? I don't know but chances is that we Malaysians will get to see this Proton Waja Lancer very, very soon as it was spotted in Penang earlier last month (August 2010). Moreover TV3 also did some coverage about this new Waja 2 Lancer today (3rd September)!


This Proton Waja Lancer is actually a replacement model to the old, won-out looking boxy Waja. It is about time that Proton come out with a new model for their Waja line up. Before we proceed to the real Waja 2, let's look at the ideal Proton Waja Lancer which was conceived by Theophiluschin. If I am not mistaken this conjured Waja Lancer is actually fusion of the current Mitsubishi Lancer with our Proton Waja and Proton Persona. That's why his creation retains the boxy feel of Waja and the elegant grill of Persona. And of course this Waja Lancer spots the unmistakable fierce front light of the Lancer.

New look MyVi 2011

New Perodua MD Amina Rashid Salleh Utusan Malaysia shows that we have a new Perodua MyVi waiting somewhere around April 2011 with MyVi SE started a few months later, around June 2011. It also showed that a new variant of the current MyVi 1.5 liters. This is logical because it is front wheel drive transverse engine 3SZ-VE 1.5 liters for ALZA, settle down, and why not use it on MyVi?



Apparently, the new MyVi a new look. It can be really good is the time to MyVi, then the timetable is Perodua normal duration is 5 years with a new face in the center. MyVi It was released in May 2005 after five years, the time for a replacement in the first half of 2011. If you recall, in mid-February has been the Japanese cousin MyVi a new look. Frankly, I do not expect to see the MyVi 100%, because this model rebadged as with any new product, Perodua has been removed beyond the JDM model and interior. 


Toyota / Daihatsu were slowly JDM their models to specific market niches with the objective very personal. They have so many small cars on the same platform in Japan, and marketing materials for the new pass / Boon, it was clear that the hour drive focusing on girls. In Malaysia, a mass market car MyVi unisex, I hope a style that differs significantly from both external and internal detail, maintaining the same general form.

New Perodua Myvi in 2011

Can We expect New Looks For Myvi?

Perodua’s new MD Aminar Rashid Salleh unveiled to Utusan Malaysia that we can expect a new Perodua Myvi somewhere around April 2011, with a Myvi SE to be launched a couple of months later around June 2011. He also revealed that a new 1.5 liter variant of the Myvi is in the works. This makes sense since they are already making the transverse-install front wheel drive 1.5 liter 3SZ-VE engine for the Alza, why not put it in the Myvi?

Apparently the new Myvi will have a new look. It’s actually about time for the Myvi to be refreshed, so Perodua is pretty much on schedule for a typical 5 year lifecycle with a facelift in the middle. The Myvi was launched in May 2005 and after 5 years, time for a replacement in the first half of 2011. If you remember, in mid-February we saw the Myvi’s Japanese cousin refreshed with a new look. Frankly, I don’t expect the Myvi to look 100% like that model as with each new rebadge product, Perodua has been moving away further and further from the JDM model’s exterior and interior.

I feel Toyota/Daihatsu has been slowly moving their JDM models to target specific niche markets with very tailor-made products. They have so many little cars based on the same platform over there in Japan, and from the marketing material of the new Passo/Boon, it’s quite obvious that the car is now targeted towards young ladies. In Malaysia, the Myvi is a unisex mass market car, so I’m expecting both exterior and interior styling to differ significantly in the details, while generally keeping the same shape

Perodua let you know their little secret

Although this has a brand slipped in recent times, it is not as unusual as some may believe.

Basically, the model Perodua MyVi, based on the Daihatsu Sirion, East Malaysia "badge engineering" to respond to the need for cost-effectiveness of small cars. It is sold as a Toyota in some markets, such as the Japanese giant also owns Daihatsu.

The 1.3-liter gasoline engine delivers strong performance with excellent fuel economy and a sufficiently low annual fee of DAV coupled. His level of equipment and pilot of the call are excellent, especially when considered next to their price value for money.

Many Thanks to its compact design, but big enough, there is a family business that more car can accommodate, and there is plenty of room for up to five adults and their effects within his Tardis-like cabin.

The other model in the company line-up is the Kenari, a mini-MPV and the United Kingdom the least expensive small car. Both models have an excellent reliability record and its growing reputation has resulted in strong customer loyalty to the dealer network.

It is interesting that the MyVi model is defined as "mine" is an abbreviation for Malaysia and "vi" is Latin sixth Perodua model numbers....

MyVi Perodua - A Malaysian Car

Standing 1.3-liter engine, the "Perodua MyVi" remains the first choice when it comes to purchasing a car. Especially at the entrance, most of the "Malay" seems to address this model. I drive myself. And I'll tell you what it's like to drive themselves, after three months.

I think that's the price of RM40, 000 (giving and receiving) for a small car like this is a bit too expensive. But, the more points of MyVi spacious inside its compartments. The interior can even respond to a huge foot-6, I think. Your head will never hit the roof more disadvantages.

Driving Experience at the "MyVi like driving a Mini Cooper" (I have never gone back) is. Steering, it is to turn more effectively, with little of its size. Speaking of the size of the car is to park it relatively easy. Personally, I do not think need to change gears from reverse to drive more than doubled. I think the biggest advantage of a 1.3-liter car, may have the advantage of small size (not the decent power).

You need every 350-400 km for RM60 (give and take "fill petrol RON95). Always busy Overdrive application only when necessary, take the tire inflate 220kPa, with the" MyVi "" most of the time on the road, what some of the practices, the statistics are, the price tag is RM60 fuel. For part of overdrive, the car is driven 00-60 miles per hour (Overdrive off). More than speed, I was still running on overdrive. The long lines you can use your "save a lot of MyVi. Driving a great distance, like 200 km non-stop refers to a road, half of your tank.

Accelerated "MyVi is more" bad. "As he works on the automatic transmission, which could explain. But in most cases I find that the transition to the" OD off means a ton. And I do not rely on this for passing cars. An automatic car is a little more comfort and is suitable for road trips and traffic jams. Note that I was driving cars with manual transmission 1.3-liter displacement, where the acceleration is force major.

Overall for the price, comfort, manoeuvrability and performance, it makes sense to pass a test to take on "MyVi. He has to understand his own reasons for one of the top national car here in Malaysia. Although I will never, the motto says on the back that “builds cars People First.

Perodua Myvi LE in new colour

The new Myvi will be available in three colours – Ivory White, Ebony Black and a new colour Dazzling Red.

The new Dazzling Red colour has a decidedly pink hue to it, obviously targeted at ladies who are considering buying the current Myvi.

The Perodua Myvi LE will only be available with an automatic transmission. It is based on the 1.3 liter Standard Automatic model but equipped with additional trim.
The female target audience is made even more apparent with the new MD Aminar Rashid Salleh commenting that lady drivers place great importance on vanity mirrors in their cars, thus the inclusion of a vanity mirror on both the driver and passenger side.

The LE has new trim colour and fabric, door inner handles, an “LE” carpet mat, and decorative cubic printing on both the centre cluster and the door trim armrests. There’s also dual airbags for the people at the front. The radio has USB and Bluetooth connectivity. On the outside, Perodua has fitted the Myvi LE with smoked clear rear combination lamps (straight from the Myvi SE), “LE” badging and side door moldings.


Treat it as an additional accessory package to fit onto the 1.3 Standard Automatic model, since the LE is a RM1,700 premium over the 1.3 Standard AT. It’s priced at RM48,600 for metallic paint colours and priced RM500 cheaper for the solid colours.
