Who is BM trying to bluff in this time and age to rebadge the Yaris Ativ as the new Vios??? Imagine cycle and carriage rebadge the Mercedes CLA class as the C-Class. 2017 going 2018 liao, think consumers still stuck in the 80s ah??

I think after 2007 vios, this car has been flopped.

Actually, there have been talk of discontinuing Vios in Thailand

If it is discontinued, this car, with same platform will take over Vios as its size is the same and it will most likely called yaris sedan in other countries

 

So notion of lying is not present as BM is not doing a stun like someone trying to pass Mitsubishi attrage as Mitsubishi lancer.

By the way, the yaris ativ is longer at 4425 mm and wider at 1730mm

From Mr Google and wiki:

 

Beginning 2005, the Vios was also marketed alongside its hatchback complement, the Yaris in most Asia Pacific countries. The second generation Vios is known as the Yaris sedan in the United States, Canada, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, the Middle East and Australia.

Bad year for all the Toyota PIs.

The facelifted (for the third time)pi 'competitor' comes with Toyota safety sense c as standard and coupled with minimal price increase, should be more attractive despite lack of knee airbag.

So pi may not have life in a bed of roses, but it wouldn't be the end of the world for them unless BM equipped all their cars with such anti crash systems or even bring in the Noah to cover all grounds of the mpv market.

 

Then pi cry father cry mother.

*if they even bring the competitor in at all

the pre facelift was mainly sold to private hire if you noticed. most of the new vios on the road comes the blue decal, probably cause of the sky high coes previously which made the car overpriced.

and yaris is basically the hatchback version of vios so nothing wrong with the rebadging. but at 95k for g specs not worth it.

 

You can get a mz3/k3/elantra with top specs at that price. but ppl will argue it's a TOYOTA.

For now, I think that a depreciation of S$8K plus for a brand new Toyota should be consider as acceptable for most people ... [nod]  

 

This Vios should be able to attract some buyers ... [bounce2]

 

If wanna compared with Mazda 3, Elantra, Forte .... etc, the maintenance and parts for Vios should be cheaper if one look at long term usage  [bounce1]

why toyota like to design car with big body and small wheels.. the body design looks ok but with the tiny wheel looks weird. not balance.

Probably as it is a budget car, it's quite common to see 14,15 inches used in cars of this range.
