Canada's Nissan Versa?

So are you sick of the same old Honda City or the Beetle like Vios?
Here's the other option.... The Nissan Versa also known as the nissan Latio in Asia perhaps?
Funky looking also on the inside.

Though a little more pricy than the City and Vios, this car has a fresher look.

CnA's Take on the nissan Versa a.k.a Latio: We would choose htis car over the City/ Vios simply because there are just too many City/ Vios already out there.

Suzuki Kizashi Concept - Part Caldina, Part Metisse, Part Panther

Serving as a preview of the upcoming large D Segment sedan, the Suzuki Kizashi Concept is one head turner.
The Kizashi Concept marks the third phase og Suzuki's new world strategy with the Swift being the first bringing sportiness to the table and the Grand Vitara for the second phase bringing "families" as its main theme.

The third phase is all about status.

The Suzuki Kizashi Concept will be a sporty devilish drive with an all-wheel drive technology.

CnA's Take on the Suzuki Kizashi Concept: At a glance, this car looks part Caldina, part Metisse, part sports shoe and part panther. This car would probably be targeted for high end executives who has a soft emotional spot for the Toyota Caldina. Futuristic.

A Realization Of The FSC Concept - The Toyota Mark X Zio

The Toyota Mark X Zio....a realization of the FSC concept from 2005.

Two versions of the Zio will be available:

- 4 cylinder 240G

- 350G with a 3.5-liter V6.

Prices would be approx $20,000 for Japanese Consumers -> Putting the RAV as a competitor. An alternative to the Camry Wagon perhaps?

A Picture and Price of the Volkswagen, VW NFS

VW's NFS (New Small Family) car looks pretty cool but sad to say the car is not going to be as cheap as expected. The car has exceeded the intended 8000 Euro (Aprox RM38K) price and is expected to cost around 9000 Euro (Rm43K).

CnA's Take on the Volkswagen NFS: We feel this NFS is cooler than the current two door Smart but the price is not exactly cheap either. Between a Satria Neo and a VW NFS... we believe the NFS comes out top.

The Hyundai Concept Genesis Beats the Hellion Hands Down

The Hyundai Concept Genesis seems like a promising sport-luxury sedan. Compared to the Hellion, we think the Genesis wins hands down.

The Concept Genesis is powered by the all new state-of-the-art 4.6-liter V8 engine and 6 speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC manual control.

The V8 delivers over 600 HP and can launch to 60 miles per hour in well under six seconds.

2008 Hyundai Sonata with 6 Airbags. Comes in black color

The Hyundai Sonata 2008 is a refined and sophisticated sedan that inspires driving confidence and unprecedented combination of power, safety and value.
The Hyundai Sonata 2008 will have 6 airbags standard (Government's 5 Star crash rating- NHTSA) .

A rather spacious interior with 6 airbags.

The black color sonata... Nice... We like it.

Not only boasting on its safety features, the Sonata 2008 Sedan comes with an all new powerful and efficient engine.

Classy and modern interior.

Value for money.... the Hyundai Sonata 2008 comes in 3 ranges:

GLS - Price for the Hyundai Sonata GLS --> $17670

SE Price for the Hyundai Sonata SE --> $19570

Price for the Hyundai Sonata Limited Edition --> $22,470

CnA's Take on the Hyundai Sonata 2008 Sedan: It is really a value for money car in its class. Though the stylish exterior matches the classy interior, competitors like Toyota, Lexus and others of sorts brings the same thing to the table, perhaps more. Definitely worth a look at it you have a certain budget range. We love the black Sonata but in terms of design, the 2007 and 2008 Sonata looks very similar to us at a glance. Maybe it is!!

Toyota Matrix... The Future of Toyota?

Will this be the future of Toyota? The Toyota Matrix .... Interesting.
This is supposedly based on the FSC concept from the Japan/ Tokyo Show..


The Toyota Matrix is basically a Sedan and a minivan crossover. We shall see how this model plays out in the near future.


Till next time... Happy Halloween!!

All New 2007 Toyota Vios

We are sure alot of you guys have heard about the all new Toyota Vios. Just in case you haven't seen this bugsy car... here are some pictures:

Though this car was launched at the Bangkok Motor Show, it should be now available for ordering in Malaysia. Price of the all new 2007 Toyota Vios should be around RM78K - RM89K. Check out Toyota's main site for more details.

Still cary basic features of the original Vios. We cannot wait for the perhaps enhanced and face lift version of the Vios.
Rather plain dashboard....

CnA's Take on the all new 2007 Toyota Vios: We somewhat feel it is like a mini Camry. No fight for it in terms of specs/ performance/ price though. Still a pretty decent car in our opinion. May not be the best car to get if you are a plus size model ; P
