Altis/Vios Racing Edition

last SG · 2008-08-12T19:04:28+00:00

Honestly; what performance upgrades can they do to justify the "racing" edition labels? bodykit and 'sports' pedals

Unknown_X SG

this is a big joke.

is borneo motors desperate.

Thing about TS's is that they are Imprezas and Imprezas have the WRXes and STIs which have the same body and same kits. So the kits are kind interchangable.

Same for Merc, Audi. AMG mercs have same bodies and have more power but if you want a normal Merc with AMG kit it is interchangeable.

But this is OMG. The new Altis and the new Vios are just.... family cars. They dun have a more powerful engine, its just the same with the added weight of the spoiler, bodykits and the racing tags. I think its a waste of money to buy this one and you should buy the NORMAL Altis or Vios and it would be faster than these "Racing" cars.

well said. *claps*

the vios sport and racing edition is launched too close in a short time frame.

IMO: this is not wise. ppl will be thinking,,what this shit all about...

but i believe the racing edition is to woo the first timer toyota customer. these ppl are not so well verse like the forumer here ma..so when they see the skirting, kits whatever, they will be impress...and the SE boast a little here and there...then the customer will be inducted to believe " yea, must be a good 'racing'/'powerful' car le"...

ask yourself : how many ppl who bought their first car from BM will buy a second time from BM?? so i assume the majority of the customer in BM is first time car buyer.

so these edition is for them ...generally speaking...

toyota is not desperate.. why would it be... when it has the top grossing model and sells the most car year in year out...

why do u need a car with a more powerful variant so that u can upgrade the aesthetics of the car....

i am pretty sure BM's intent was nv to portray it as a faster car.. only pple here think thtat BM thinks its gonna be a faster car...

its only trying to get rid of its uncle image to tap into the younger buyers cos they always only buy TS, lancer and civics....

BM tries... whether its a mistake only the sales number will tell... but now.. its still premature to tell...

I think u've been here longer than me. I hardly lurk around here.

4Justice SG

"wld they garner so many unsolicited replies against u??"

lol n0x if you're so right how come so many people shooting you down now(aka unsolicted replies against you)? please lah. early on you anyhow shoot your mouth off already got lots of people see thru yr smokescreen. if you like embaressing yourself more, go ahead, all your "friends" seem to have abandoned you.

and oh yes, seems lots of people think the car is cock also, nullifi3d, exowraith, unknown_x being just some of them. You scroll back over this thread u see more people think its cock or not, and then tell me who's more spot on.

EkBoy SG

4justice, whether it's sports or not doesn't matter. Ppl buy what they like n u can keep ur comments to urself. If u bought something and every1 goes saying u bought a piece of crap etc.. how u feel? U must be think u wouldnt right? Well, think again, is what u like always wat the whole world likes? If not, not every1 appreciate everything like any others.

No doubt that sports Vios or altis is not a racing car but it's just the sportier version. Don't like it? Then don't get it la. Ppl always like what they get else they wouldn't get 1. If there are ppl buying there is a market. If no1 is buying then is BM with a wrong marketing move. simple.

So o drive a ferrari? Or what piece of crap? think of others before sprouting. Makes the forum more peaceful instead of flaming others.

Unknown_X SG

haha i do agree its a dumb move. but i think theres no need to point fingers already. we r all here to learn and share, so lets chill k?

exowraith SG

you sure sprout nonsense posts after nonsense posts... LOL

Well if you buy a more powerful variant of the car you get more aesthetics like STI vs WRX so why would you need to get a new spoiler?

Borneo motors might be desperate because the top selling brand this year is Honda and they only had 2 months of sales that are above Honda. April and June which is probably the launch months of one of these cars.

Well if i were to buy either of these cars it would be the normal ones or the most is the Vios Sports. Vios Racing is just ridiculous.

jumpmanz SG

vios sports looks much better than vios racing

"wld they garner so many unsolicited replies against u??"

is this all u can muster???

haha.... seriously... now u seemed to be like the one grasping at straws....

why?? cos u haven even provide me with a good rebuttal.... and yesh.. u are like some kids bikering... "no u are not,,, yes u are... no u are not... yes u are... LOL....

u have ur fair share of pple shooting against u too....

and no... u still cant grasp the gist of things... the main reason why i am shooting u is... for not respecting other pple's choice... did i shoot nullified, exowrath and unknownx???

the answer is no... cos they dun go about calling other idiots for making choices which they themselves feel is right to them....

u shldnt have come back... u seemed to have lost ur potency... perhaps u shld change back to ur old nick... maybe tt will help... LOL

erm.... dun get ur first sentence... care to rephrase???

whether BM is desperate or not... 1 thing is for sure... its trying to revamped its uncle image.... perhaps it has this idea for quite some time... and given the circumstances now... it seems like the right time for them to launch this...

on the other hand... if it really is desperate... it could have used other tactics like what $0 down drive away or instalment free for 1 year kinda bargains...

BM got uncle image meh? i see along of zhnged vios running around everyday. lol. and the drivers all youngsters. sometimes i really feel like challenging them... =x

maybe he is talking about himself.

turby SG

The previous or first Vios was fast.. and lightweight also.
When properly modded, gives alot of more exp and bigger cc cars a run for their money, esp on track.

The same can't really be said for the new vios. It just looks like a half screwed sedan version of the Yaris. It gained weight and seems to sacrifice for comfort and economy.

And the lower version has drum brakes for the rear. To put a 'racing' or 'sport' tag on it is an insult to the prestige badge which many other more serious manufacturers have put their pride on.

Actually no such thing as uncle or not ba.. I'm damn sure there's no such car that's exclusively bought by uncles only.. Like altis, sure many uncle buy but also a lot of 20+ year olds (and in this forum also) also driving altis.. Mark X also can be considered uncle.. cuz luxury sedan.. but when the zhng vios try to poke, they will feel the difference between 1 litre disparity of engine capacity and their lack of 2 more cylinders....
