When we say “modified”, thoughts like changing the front bumper or adding a rear spoiler would come to mind. And then, occasionally, you will come across modifications that transform a car to look like something else like this Toyota Alphard with a Rolls Royce face. This Toyota Cullinan/ Rolls Royce Alphard (depending on how you look at it), appeared at the famous Daikoku parking lot – Fast and Furious fans would know this place – to deceive the eye of all visitors.

Here in Malaysia, or even anywhere else in South East Asia, we don’t think very highly of the Toyota Innova. Malaysians in particular can’t get over the fact that it rides on the same underpinnings as a rudimentary Toyota Hilux pick-up truck. Tough and good for carrying loads yes, but not for refinement. Over in Indonesia, theToyota Innova is very popular. It’s seen as a step up from the Toyota Avanza, the default car for Indonesia, similar to our Perodua Myvi. Still, Indonesians don’t see it as
