I'm in my nit-picking mood so here goes...
1. Nice aggressive look, but.... - It uses a modern car design language with the right curves and angles. But on the other hand, it can be a bit too much as this is after all, still a cross-over. It's borderline pretentious.... like the laughable Mobilio 'RS'. (sorry)
2. The wheels seems a tad too small - It's hard not to see it when just staring at a picture. It may look ok in person. We'll see.
3. The "Expander" name - The pronunciation of the word itself sounds heavy, but when I consider the meaning, I think of accordions and expanding bags. It also doesn't roll off the tongue naturally and can sound crass and rough, IMO. Sounds almost like Spandex or Suspender.
4. FWD - One word; Reliability. I've had numerous FWD cars and in all of them, the front suspension doesn't last quite as long without needing expensive service. No surprises there, in a FWD car, the front axles carries the full weight of the engine, it steers and holds the vehicle in a corner, as well as takes the full brunt of potholes.... all at the same time providing the vehicle's propulsion. Imagine the kind of forces being exerted on the front axles. Not to mention that FWD has more complex linkages which also introduces more parts to wear down or break.
I can't seem to find a single picture of the engine bay. Either I'm losing my Google skills or it really doesn't exist, yet.

Your right bro. With a wading depth of 550mm, the Expander rides tall enough to get you through any obstacles in the city — including floods. Granted it doesn’t quite match the 220mm ground clearance that most SUVs offer, but we’re talking about a difference of less than two inches between the two. When it comes to city floods and hazards protruding from the road, the Expander is tall enough to allow you to clear them all with ease.

indonesian website heheh. the xpander is killing the brv. its cheaper and bigger.
the indonesians hate the fact that the brv is based on the brio/amaze plarform. the mobilio is selling because its cheaper...
indonesians and thais know when one model will release. when you see the brv sales dip.. it means one model(in the segment) will be released.
imagine the sales(in thailand) of the hilux when the new one was to come out...
