POST MORTEM: Why were there so little participants at the recent KL motor show 2013?

8:39 AM 0
It's quite simple actually. 

1. The Tokyo Motor Show as well as the Los Angeles Motor Show 2013 took center stage over KLIMS 2013. This was because all three motor shows either overllapped slightly or were close to one another.

 2. When it comes to the Tokyo motor show, it is very important for the Japanese car makers to shine at their home turf. Tokyo is what some motor journos rate as a class A motor show. A class A motor show usually has the latest car launches as well as the unveiling of lots of concept cars.



3. The Los Angeles motor show is akin to a class B show. This means that it is important enough for manufacturers to launch new models there too. Note that in the case of the Los Angeles motor show Subaru found the North American market important enough to conduct the launch of the new Subaru WRX there.

4. The KLIMS'13 isn't prominent enough to attract due to our market (while large is too protected to make any impact). If it were, Honda would have decided to launch the new Honda City at KLIMS instead of launching it a few days after the closing in India. KLIMS is actually a grade C motorshow. Even the Bangkok and Jakarta motor shows have more fanfare.

5. Car makers would have to pick and choose motor shows if they overlap and if the market is large enough to spend. Bad for the organiser as they car just refuse to participate (which is what happened).

4. In Malaysia, there is a problem of two or three conglomerates holding the right to a few brands. You got Kia, Peugeot, Citroen, Chevrolet with one, Proton, Honda, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Isuzu, Ferrari, Maserati and more with another as well as one more holding BMW, Ford, Hyundai. If their principals choose not to spend money on a stand at KLIMS'13 then the distributors would have to fork out. In this case, the principals mostly chose not to do so and that is why you see some car makers and you don't see some others.

6. This is the problem where only a few companies handle all the brands in a country. They will pick and choose if the manufacturer does not want to fork out display space at a motor show. Not good for a motor show and actually not very good for the industry as a whole.

7. Proton must have been suffering from a brain fart as regardless of whether you have nothing to show (this was a reason I was told by some industry players) or that they felt they needed to be given priority (like a diva needs her idiosyncrasies). Malaysia is Proton's largest market and regardless of whether you have anything to show or otherwise, Proton's presence ought to have happened. The average car buyer is the one Proton needs to reach out to and any chance of showing the brand should have been taken. There is actually no excuse for Proton to not participate at KLIMS'13. I mean Perodua was there and I was there observing the inquisitive general public asking questions on what's new with them. Big mistake Proton. It's no wonder you're continuing to suffer.

So it is actually various factors. Some truly unforeseen, some as clear as crystal. I do hope that the next KLIMS will not suffer from such circumstances like this one.

KL International Motor Show 2013 - The Concept Cars

7:55 AM 0
The Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show 2013 (KLIMS13) is underway with public viewing beginning today. One definition of a 'motor show' is that it is a public exhibition of concept cars, model debuts, a showcase of current models as well as one which features out of production models or classics. KLIMS13 is a motor show where there are concept cars and new model debuts. We may not be in the forefront of first debuts internationally, but KLIMS13 does showcase some concept cars. We have compiled all the concept vehicles (not current production models but futuristic ideas that manufacturers are toying with) that are displayed at KLIMS13 for your viewing pleasure.


Lets start with Perodua again. Note that only Perodua has come up with a totally original concept car that you will never find anywhere else in the world except at the KL Motor Show. Of course, sometimes we can see why. The 2013 BuddyZ is actually quite horrid. But let's give Perodua an 'A' for effort as without Perodua, there wouldn't be a totally new, totally original concept car (and totally engineered locally) for KLIMS13. You will see that the concept cars from the next manufacturers are from motor shows from a few years ago.

Next we have Toyota. Toyota has brought in two concept cars – the Toyota NS4 which is a next generation plug-in hybrid saloon concept which was first shown at the 2012 North American Motor Show and the Toyota Fun-Vii (below), first debuted at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show. The Toyota Fun-Vii is an information hub vehicle concept where people, cars and society interact. It has panels on both sides which can project photos of anything the driver programmes it to do. We've seen its panels in action at KLIMS13. The car is a moving light show and would bring a smile to the faces of people around it/ Provided the picture displayed isn't some horrifying scene from some horror movie.


Honda has decided to bring in the Honda EV-STER pictured right above. First debuted in 2011, this is an all-electric concept roadster that can reach 160km/h. It is steered by two joysticks for each hand. Very Playstation-like. Anyway, the EV-STER shows what a new version of the classic 1990s Honda Beat could look like. In fact, this car's exterior styling is also featured in Honda's latest concept car, the S660 which was shown at this year's Tokyo motor show. That car has a normal steering wheel and could be a sign that Honda wants to produce a new Honda Beat for a new generation of fans.

Hyundai has brought in its 2012 European concept car called the Hyundai i-oniq (HED-8). The concept is a coupe styled 4 passenger hatchback with Lamborghini-esque swing doors. It has an extended range electric vehicle that has a 1.0liter 3 cylinder petrol engine with an 80kw electric motor which allows it to have a range of 700km at a top speed of 145km/h producing only 45g/km of CO2.

Citroen has brought in the Citreon Numero 9 from 2012. This is a concept car with a Shooting Brake or wagon styled body that is extremely elegant in the flesh. It is a plug-in hybrid yet produces 295 combined horsepower as well as being able to run fully electric for at least 50km. Power, economy and style is combined. It also reminds us of Citroen from days gone by - low and elegant. Unlike these days where the current batch of DS cars seem round, luxurious, stylish but a little high off the ground. Citroen needs to incorporate the Numero 9's styling into its current crop of cars as soon as possible.

KLIM13 may not be the latest in concept cars (with the exception of Perodua). But the general public gets to have a glimpse at what automotive manufacturers are doing.

KLIMS13 - Toyota Camry Hybrid - A green Unclemobile?

12:04 AM 0
The Toyota Camry Hybrid was on display at KLIMS13. You get the 2.5liter Atkinson cycle engine coupled with an electric motor powering the car like a larger, more luxurious Prius. It is supposed to be sold here in Malaysia soon but as its a 2.5 liter, it won't get any tax breaks. Its proposed pricing is predicted to cross RM180,0000. Steep for an uncle/auntie car that saves petrol. And don't think you'd get the Modelista bodykit and 19inch wheels with the price stated. That is surely optional.



It may be an uncle car. But we found out today that the model standing in front of the car in the photo below drives around in the previous generation Toyota Camry 2.4V. This is one heck of an Auntie or my theory that the Camry is for uncles and aunties everywhere has just been blown to pieces. Hmmm.....

Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show 2013 (KLIMS13) opened today. And I have some comments. UPDATED

8:32 AM 0
The Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show 2013 (KLIMS13) was officially launched by YB Dato’ Hasan Bin Malek, Minister of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives & Consumerism earlier today. There are some highlights of the show below as well as the official press release for your viewing pleasure folks. (Perodua aside as I have reported about it already).

But before that, I also have to state the obvious. While KLIMS13 has quite a number of concept cars from the likes of Citroen, Hyundai, Perodua, Toyota to name a few and a few notable car launches and previews by Volkswagen (the CKD Polo 1.6 hatchback), Ford (Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost, Fusion Hybrid), as well as some others, the motorshow is lacking some big names and heavy hitters. Proton is not around. The major luxury German brands are non-existant (Audi, BMW and Mercedes Benz). There are no Rolls Royces or Bentleys. There are no Mitsubishi, Suzuki or Mazda. There is also no Kia or Chevrolet. There is also no Jaguar or Land Rover. No Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati too. Sad but very true.

I have not forgotten the fact that Infiniti and Subaru are first time participants. These car manufacturers bring a slight difference to this year's motor show. But it isn't much of a compensation.


This clearly shows that the motor industry in Malaysia needs a bigger push. Think about how big the Bangkok Motor Show and the Jakarta Motor Show are. We need to be at least on par with these regional shows. The organizers may need to persuade the manufacturers harder to come show off their cars here in Kuala Lumpur but I think the industry needs to have a big push from the Government so that automotive manufacturers can decide that Malaysia is an open and growing market.

 No, not by scrapping old cars like we have recently heard but incentives like tax breaks and other stuff. We need to be innovators in something. If we cannot be assemblers like Thailand or a really huge local market like Indonesia, we need to focus on some technological niches or at least some R&D. More hybrid and electric technology maybe. Who knows.

And oh, I do believe a whole lot of ego needs to be put aside to make this country a great big automotive nation. In the meantime, just enjoy some of the photos below.

The truly beautiful Citroen Numero 9 Concept car

Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show 2013 - KLIMS13: Updates - Ford bringing in an old lady and a hot Mustang and other news

4:36 AM 0

The thing about an international motor show is there usually are concept cars on display. If there isn't any, then it isn't really an international motor show. Ergo, this time around KLIMS '13 will have Ford display some oldies like a Ford Model A (top)from waayyy back as well as the hot Ford Mustang GT500 (shown below). You can read more about this as well as other interesting displays.
