Vios 2007

UMW hosted a sneak preview of the all new Toyota Vios for it's Toyota Merit and Tribe Toyota members today at Mid Valley. I have seen the pictures of the new Vios before as Thailand already had them a few months back, and they had the luxury of choosing a manual or an auto tranny.Going into the vast floor space that they had occupied, I was not suprised to see the new Vios, well not on the outside that is. But within it's new Global Outstanding Assessment (GOA) body, lies spaciousness I didn't find within the previous models. With 60:40 foldable rear seats, boot space became even more flexible. A new 1.5S is available as a choice on top of the 1.5G and the 1.5S models. Side mirror indicator, side foldable mirror, steering mounted media control buttons, front driver & passenger cabin lights, centre arm console, a Multi Information Display are what's new in the 1.5S model. A VVT-i 1NZ-FE 1497cc enginepowers it, providing excellent power to weight ratio. When the function began, it was the first time I had seen DJ/VJ Serena C up close, and I must say she looks better up close and personal than on TV. Petite, slim, luscious lips and sensual eyes. "Look at the Vios, not me" she jokes with the crowd.And many were waiting for the main event of the function, a performance by our very own artiste, Maya Karin. Singer and actress, she rose to stardom in the local production movie, Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam and suddenly, she was everywhere.Outside was 2 fibreglass molded Vios 2007, which was given a decal makeover. Bold & cute.Before Maya Karin came on stage, we made our way to a caricaturist who made a black & white impression of us. He was fast and he is damn good. Don't I look cute?
