When marketed, Estoque will be positioned as a basic-level sports car. Because, until the first half of 2010, sales are still declining globally Lamborghini 18 percent from the previous same period.

Winkelman expect, this third model will be able to boost sales. Unfortunately, until now, there is no certainty when the product will be launched to the market.

Daihatsu F-Concept is a concept vehicle aimed at the Indonesian market. This is the debut or the world premiere of the latest concept car, the Daihatsu is shown to the public. Another aspect that makes the F-body Concept soul closer to Indonesia, to design and engineering, included the role and the Indonesian people’s thoughts. “There are designers from Indonesia participated in Japan preparing for this vehicle,” said Yosuke Sakaguchi, Project Manager of Styling Div No. 1, Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd..

Also described, design concepts, including dimensions, engine selection, and applications of vehicles, M-Concept is targeted as a replacement motorcycle. Same concept as outlined in the Tata Nano, but the format is different. If the Nano as a passenger car, the F-concept leads to a commercial. This can be seen from the shape.

Simply stylish
Daihatsu himself says, M-Concept is designed to answer the needs of the people of Indonesia for cheaper vehicles. Nevertheless, the appearance factor was not abandoned. Therefore, the appearance created quite stylish alias style. “Style is an important factor for the Indonesian people in determining or selecting a vehicle,” explained Daihatsu in the release, including for commercial vehicles.

F-Concept is a versatile vehicle. In addition as a means of everyday transportation, can also create a business or working up to recreation. Because of that, in a release that was distributed to reporters shown some of the alternative use of these vehicles, especially tanks behind him. Among other things, covered with canvas (soft top) and also plus Rugged box-type (normal flatbed). Maybe later be converted into a minibus, as the concept of Gran Max.

Supermini
F-Concept is very compact and can be told as a supermini. Length 2925 mm, width 1295 mm, and height of 1690 m with 1840 mm wheelbase. Tub size is not explained. While for the machines listed only 660cc, 3 cylinder inline. Using wheels and 155/70R13 tires.

Based on the specifications given, this vehicle, including agile and nimble use a small space. Section, swivel radius of 3.6 meters and a cabin can only be loaded two passengers. Vice President and Minister of Industry Boediono Moh S Hidayat could sit in it.

Cabin is also simple and very limited space (of course better than a motorcycle). To provide relief cabin space, placing Daihatsu designer gear shifting lever on the steering column and is in the middle of the dashboard (as if imposed, as a result become less artistic and instead added ribet). Daihatsu designers may try other alternatives?

Government Policy
The question arises, whether the M-Concept is soon realized to be low-cost car project Daihatsu in Indonesia? Previously, Amelia Tjandra, Marketing Director of Astra Daihatsu Motor, the plan depends on the policies made by the government.

“If the concept of eco-friendly cars or environmentally friendly, fuel economy, and small engines, a clear policy, we certainly can do it,” he asserted.
In this case, of course a variety of government support, for example, incentives in the form of various tax cuts so the price is really affordable or as expected under the community!
Moreover, this vehicle is targeted as a replacement motorcycle, other than as a family vehicle, also for business. In addition, with a concept like this, small and cheap transportation of Indonesia will be more humane!
