Well, yes and no. Yes, they are both 1.5-litre Dual VVT-i engine from the NR engine family and they are both made in the same Daihatsu Perodua Engine Manufacturing plant in Sendayan Techvalley in Negeri Sembilan. And no, they have slightly different engine codes, 2NR-FE for the Toyota Yaris and 2NR-VE for the Perodua Myvi. However, it’s just a different suffix for Toyota and Daihatsu.

Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional, the company which we now know as Proton Holdings, was established in 1983 as Malaysia’s national car company. Ten years later in 1993, Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua, better known as Perodua, was established as our second national national car company. We are now in the midst of setting up a third national car. All three national car companies were mooted by our then Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad. In the early days, both Proton and Perodua were in every sense, a na

Just last week we spotted a mysterious Daihatsu SUV sitting quietly at a corner of Daihatsu’s Tokyo Motor Show exhibition. There was no name to it but we were pretty sure that the SUV was meant for the South East Asia market. It looks like something that's better suited for our local market than Japan (even though it will still be sold in Japan). Now Instagram user mr.t.tani in Japan has reportedly spotted the same SUV on trailers out in the open along with the Rocky nameplate clearly visible. S

Fast forward to today we now know that the
