Viva vs Mira

May 26th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

I just visited Auto-Lah another auto blog by Malaysian. Auto-Lah has interesting fact that we should read on our latest Perodua Viva.

This new model is a replacement for the Kelisa and is based on the Daihatsu Mira (also known as the Cuore, Domino or Charade outside Japan). In fact it is almost identical to the Mira externally. Internally however, it is a different matter all together. Malaysians have been handed down the old tired design. Take a look at Paul Tan’s blog post here to see what I mean.

My comments is so simple, Perodua is 2nd National car with very limited market, many of us will agree if I say that almost 90% of perodua was sold in Malaysia only.  (Is it 100% I dont know, Paultan could have the figure) If perodua were to develop their own model like what PROTON did, I dont think they can make good money. Since Daihatsu own majority share in Perodua, the best option is to sell car which already in the Japanese Domestic Market.  As a result you can see Kancil vs Mira, Kenari vs Move, Myvi vs Boon/Passo and this new Viva vs New Mira and many more for sure in future……
