OMG dual!

okay what's for lunch today?

[So_nice]

if they could launch it for the 1.8 segment for cars like altis then it would be more interesting.

[Help1]

but is not valmatic version right

[Shouyi]

4 speed auto...yawn...zzzz

[Axela72]

Almost ending Y2009, BM still dare to bring ppls to their attention of an old 4 speed auto drive of a 2 L car at more than 80+k ?

[Tohto]

2.0 Dual VTTi, but power only 142bhp, . The old Picnic still has a power of 147bhp..

PI 1.8L valvematic, power is 144bhp, somemore FC is better

Cannot understand what BM is thinking.

You forget to include PI is cheaper too.

 

I think their mentally is that they are AD so they are holding a better selling power than the PI. See whether how many typical Singaprean (who always follow the crowd) will support them

142?!!! too low

[Leepee]

Pi is cheaper? No really...I was scanning the advertistment.....Bm selling at $85k.....most Pi also selling above $80k.

So the savings is at most <$5k.

 

For the peace of mind...many will pay $5k more to get from BM for the 'warranty' and peace of mind.

Dun know what these Jap manufacturers are thinking....until now still 4 speed auto......should be min 5 speed auto as others are now either 6 speed or 7 speed DSG....the only manufacturer I respect in terms of fitting proper gearboxes like 6 speed and 7 speed DSG is VW....the Japs are getting from bad to worse....now their trend is cvt which is total crap for drivers who are car enthusiasts

I think the lower bhp is due to tighter emissions control like euro 4 and euro 5......bhp sure drop as compared to the good old days...

most(if not all) who buys toyota don't give a hoot on whether it's running on dino-age 4 speed gearbox or how many horses it's engine is churning out..they just want to drive a Toyota.. in fact, some don't even know the specs of the car except tat it's a Wish MPV and can seat 7 person..

[Tleslie]

only a few horses make difference??

 

[Kelpie]

Of course, it will take serious mod to achieve +5 horses for a NA car.

I have the same thought too. It will still sell if it is a Toyota, not to mention that it is a popular model like Wish. Only Honda Stream can rival its sales and popularity.

I didnt know a simple ECU reflash is a "serious mod"

 

Most production cars nowadays tend to run richer to protect the engine. A simple ecu reflesh will bring out anything from 5 -20 horses depending on make and model. A simple IHE with ecu reflash will bring out 12-20 horses even on the rx8s which are known to be extremely stingy with giving out horses from NA mods.

 

Dunno pls dont talk until like know thanks.
