“Rocky is a new segment, can we sell it later. In Japan, the ability to sell cars is normal, but in Indonesia we are not used to it. So our people are capable of not selling either. We prepare it too, “explained Amelia.

Apart from that, just for information that this Daihatsu Rocky will be equipped with a machine that has cubication up to 996 cc triple cylinder with 12 valves and liquid-cooled intecooler.

On one hand, actually the name Daihatsu Rocky is quite familiar in the Indonesian market. Not without reason, considering that PT ADM itself was promoting Rocky with a different name before, namely Daihatsu Taft.

Unfortunately, for when the presence of this car to Indonesia is still a question that can not be answered given there are no provisions or confirmation from the manufacturer regarding this model. Including the matter of segmentation and market segments.
