En0203 2nd Gear September 20, 2004 Share September 20, 2004 by the way, "engine strain ..going uphill" is really a lame excuse I agree manz ... cant imagine a car that is designed locally and cannot take the local terrain. Like that Cameron Highlands how ?? Gen 2 all cannot go up also ah and bang, not to mention the cold weather in genting ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is indeed a hoax, I must applaud the prankster for a flawless execution of a scam so elaborate, especially since I pulled that image directly from Daihatsu's official Japanese website.

Silverarrow Neutral Newbie September 20, 2004 Share September 20, 2004 See , you know wat I mean right ... Regretfully so. I'm reminded of this sad excuse for a Works Minister everytime my wallet lightens as I ply the roads in Klang Valley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear September 20, 2004 Share September 20, 2004 It is indeed a Daihatsu. Eversince GM started doing rebadging to sell cars, other companies have followed and that includes Toyota which incidentally owns Daihatsu. IMHO, the best rebadger is VAG. Every car handles differently, feels different and looks different but many share the same platform. Ford follows close behind for being innovative for rebadging. 40 series Volvo, Focus and MZ3 share the Focus platform. GM is the worst. They are damn lazy when it comes to rebadging. Just slap on a badge and that is it! The cars are just clones in different badges. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverarrow Neutral Newbie September 20, 2004 Share September 20, 2004 Daihatsu's latest "platform sharing" exercise with Toyota produced the Daihatsu Boon, which except for that little badge, is virtually identical to the Toyota Passo right down to specs and pricing. I guess GM's unique disease has already spread. As for the Daihatsu Altis, it's doubtful that car will ever make it to our shores. Looks good though. Some may even prefer its looks to the other Altis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some may even prefer its looks to the other Altis. Go to Daihatsu website, and look at this "Altis".. it is EXACTLY the same, internal as well as spec, with the Camry 2.0L here..(Before it was made in Thailand). Then now, shift production to Thailand, and change front grille, so that it looks different.. I wonder why... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverarrow Neutral Newbie September 20, 2004 Share September 20, 2004 wah!from Gen2 now talking about Perodua.....then now about Daihatsu..... That's why it's so fun to "talk rot." From Gen.2 chatter, out popped a photograph of "Gen.2 langgar Kancil" (or was it the other way around?), then came mentions of Daihatsu (which owns Perodua shares), which lead to talks about "badge engineering" that resulted from the marriage between Daihatsu and Toyota, and their Altis lovechild that followed. Dunno how Samy Vellu found his way into our discussions though. Sure don't want to know whose lovechild he is... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
