Give this new Perodua model a name
Remember the ‘spy’ photos that had been circulating on the Net a month or two back? Some people got it right and some were wrong but whatever it is, Perodua has decided to let the public see a prototype which is going under the internal code name of ‘X690′. It’s slightly different from the one in the spy photos which seemed to be coded ‘XA02′ and was more angular.
Malaysians are invited to propose a name for the model which is expected to go on sale next year. Described as an additional model to Perodua’s line-up – which means it is not a replacement for the Kancil (perhaps the XA02 is?) – the X690 will have a 1000 cc DOHC 12-valve engine (most likely the same one as that in the Kenari).
The contest to name this new Perodua will run till December 4th 2000 and all entries must reach Perodua by 10 pm that day. Entry forms are available at Perodua’s stand at the KL International Motorshow in Putra World Trade Centre, KL, and entries can also be submitted via Perodua’s website (www.perodua.com.my). Besides submitting a name, participants must also propose a tagline to go with the model name – something like ‘Smart Like You’.
The winning entry will be announced sometime in mid-January 2001 and the winner will be rewarded with… yes, you guessed it… one unit of the X690.
