i am wondering, "what's new with the new vios? new powerplant? or just slightly new metal?"
Apart from the move to the newer Daihatsu's DNGA platform from Toyota's EFC (A Derivative of the Echo/Gen 1 Vios' NBC which is supposed to be more cost effective than continuing development using the B platform as found in the Gen 2 Vios/Vitz-based Yaris) in the current vios probably a different CVT transmission if not the D-CVT as found in other DNGA-based vehicles."1st Gear" is shorter in the new vios than even the GR-S variant of the current vios which has a different CVT calibration to have a shorter "1st Gear".
