Proton REEV ?

Many may wonder what is REEV, actually it  is the short form of the Range Extender Electric Vehicle. Differ from the normal Electric Vehicle (EV), which its just pack with electric engine and lots of battery, REEV also pack with a small combustion engine to aid in recharging the battery of the EV when the EV is running out of battery.

For futher explanation, all EV use battery to replace fuels like petroleum or diesel, but normal EV have a very short range in distance ( depend on what type of battery it use). But REEV can cover a longer distance because REEV have a small combustion engine act as a generator to recharge the battery.

Proton recently has just won the race using REEV ( based on Exora) in England, its a simple race, competitors who use the less fuel during the race is the winner. According to the MD of the Proton, the REEV will be in mass production in 2011 based on Exora.

New Myvi next year?

Yes, the managing director of Perodua say that the new Myvi replacement will out around April next year. After five year in production and a facelift in the middle, its the proper lifetime of a car. The new Myvi will based on the Toyota Passo/ Dahaitsu Boon in Japan. Some source say that the new Myvi will have bigger engine, the 1.5 liter engine that can be found in Perodua Alza. Here are some of the picture of Toyota Passo or the future Myvi may look like.

which is better?

Just wan to do a simple poll here. I'm now split into between the choices that i have to make and i don't know what to choose, so i  decide to let you all choose for me by doing a simple poll here. This poll s about which car is better? The Perodua Myvi 1.3 or Hyundai i10?

Perodua Myvi 1.3 auto transmission( hi spec) spec: safety features like ABS, dual srs airbag, 1.3 liter engine.

Hyundai i10 auto transmission (hi spec)spec: same like the Myvi, which have ABS, Dual srs airbag, just with a smaller engine.

The Perodua Myvi cost about 49000 ringgit and the i10 is about the same price. I like the i 10 because its better looking( at least newer than the Myvi which i have been watch for years now) and its Hyundai (which mean the quality is better). But the Myvi is more practical with larger interior space but the power from the 1.3 liter engine seem to be a little bit less.

Perodua Myvi

Hyundai i10

So, please choose for me by simply post on comment (simply write Myvi or i10). Any suggestion of other model is welcome^^. Thank you.
