Toyota, Volkswagen & Jeep at the My Auto Fest 2016

Toyota

Toyota had decided to set up quite a display with the newly launched Hilux (above) and Fortuner (below) at My Auto Fest 2016. You can see that this time Toyota spent a little bit more money in differentiating the two models. The dashboard of the Hilux, whilst so much more improved than the previous model is similar to the Fortuner but lacks more premium touches like the real stitched leather covering the top of the instrument binnacle and it also lacks the digital air conditioning controls. There is more effort spent on the vehicles.

It is frustrating to see when others infringe and just take someone else's efforts and use it for their own.

Proton has displayed something new at the My Auto Fest 2016 auto show at Mines International Exhibition and Convention Center. It is a Proton Suprima Active crossover concept car. Like the Proton Iriz Crossover concept before this (also displayed), the Suprima Crossover gets slightly taller profile tyres and a slightly raised ride height (it looks taller from the front and rear instead of from the side). There are also roof rails and more plastic cladding front, side and rear. 

Tenth Generation Honda Civic previewed at the MY AUTO FEST 2016 - My Opinion and the other Honda deals there



Honda Malaysia has decided to preview the all new tenth generation Honda Civic. This cannot happen sooner actually as I cannot wait for Honda to stop selling the current model and start selling this new one. This new Civic was swarmed with people when they lifted the black cloth covering the car. Everyone was super excited and wanted to view the car and had their camera and camera phones out.

Mercedes-Benz Services Malaysia's C-Class Coupé Financing introduced after the launch of the car today


Mercedes Benz Malaysia launched the C205 Mercedes Benz C-Class Coupe at Sepang earlier today. I wasn't there because I was at the Volkswagen Vento event and I then drove a UD Truck in Serdang. Too many events on one day and I don't have a teleporter. Anyway, the C200 Coupe, C250 Coupe and C300 Coupe was launched today and you can have the option to finance their C-Class Coupé alone or together with a comprehensive motor insurance* solution through Mercedes Benz Services Malaysia.
