from the 850,000 already sold as of end-April 2015 on momentum of demand as
well as other promotions.
“The Myvi, which
is celebrating its 10th Anniversary this year, has been well accepted. On
average, the Myvi’s bookings so far this year is about 8,000 units per month,”
Perodua President and CEO, Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh said.
Since the
Perodua Myvi was launched in 2005, the model had 10 variant launches with the
second generation Myvi launched in 2011.
“Barring any
unforeseen circumstances, we are cautiously optimistic that with the activities
and promotions we have lined up until 2017, the target of 1 million Myvi cars
is achievable,” he said.
Aminar said that

win a special 10th Anniversary Commemorative Edition Myvi car.
“So far about
3,000 Myvi owners or drivers have registered on our website and we are grateful
for the strong endorsement from our valued customers,” Aminar said.
The public will
be able to enjoy special deals, many games and fun activities, which
will be announced during the event itself. The 2 day event will be held at
Setia City Oval Lawn, Shah Alam.
The public will
