Is it true that the new generation TOYOTA cars (e.g AVANZA,CAMBRY,VOIS) do not required any tune-up for peak performance as comented by your service consultant.

[...] The car above may look familiar to you, you probably have already seen it when a Japanese magazine carried scans of the new Toyota Corolla as well as the Toyota Auris hatchback which replaces the Corolla hatch. No longer do you have to look for artist’s impressions based on leaked data – or leaked photos – because Toyota has officially launched the new JDM 2007 Toyota Corolla in Japan! Details after the jump. [...]

Hideous… they should have mass-produced the Will VS and used it to replace the Corolla. The Will first made its appearance in 2001 and design-wise, is still light ages ahead of this sad-looking Toyota lemon. If only they would revive the Will, or at least bring us the Caldina… that’s another aggressive looking beast that’ll scare the b’jesus out of this lame-duck offering

i drive a corolla as well. the whole car is pretty much just a car. instruments may look dull but after a while it doesnt really matter much.
the only one thing that makes you glad is the piece of mind…everytime u start that car it will start up and that the thing wont break down….anytime soon that is. 6 years and still feels solid.

another great thing bout toyota is the body of the car is more resilient to knocks and dings. as compared to a honda.

Agreed with you drifting4eva, NAP make Yaris target at young professional, Corrola for “luxury” mid-income family car, Camry “entry level” for CEO, boss, MD, tauke and Lexus/Avalon (US market) become big boss, crocs, datok, Tan Sri, etc super-duper luxury car.

Vios basically Toyota’s “local best” sub-compact budget car mainly for ASEAN market but not China.

everywhere else in the world the corolla is geared towards young working adults. the progression is like this: college students – yaris, vios, young adults – corolla, family man – camry, professionals – avalon or lexus. but m’sian nap artificially screwed the equation up.

hikaru: they sell vios in the us? i thought vios only for se asia + china?

Hmmm… new corolla… its a family car… not young family… older families.. Toyota always aim for middle age markets as the market is bigger n hv more potential on buying cars… n youngsters can’t afford cars like tat unless their family buy it for them… even though a 30 yr old maybe cant afford such cars nowadays… for middle age family man… they won’t go look at Civic’s type of design.. that’s for younger generations.. they look for designs like this corolla which looks more mature like some of u said… they won’t care about the sporty design. they just care about the quality of the car and after sales services thats all. thats a piece of my opinion though.

Why no one has noticed that the car behind could just well be the next Vios, which is already out in US. I am just waiting for UMW to bring the new Vios in so that 2nd hand Vios are cheaper!

PS: i know this is an entry on the new Corrolla. But maybe Paul can give us an update on the Vios? Much obliged….

Hmmm….I kinda like the new Corolla. Looks more macho than the current Altis. Toyota could do more in making the dashboard design more appealing.

IMO, the current (Malaysian) Civic looked abit “Try-too-hard-to-be-sporty”

This Corolla’s design is very mature, not trying to be sporty cos its not, these 1.8-2.0 cars are the primary target for family man, hence it looked very family like. Good, mature design. Albeit boring.

It look like Korean? not in a million years. Look at previous (Benz+Jaguar) Sonata, Elantra, Accent and Kia Optima…. these are the UGLIEST cars money can WASTE nowadays…. no where Korean design is good. oh… except SsangYong thou….. (bar SsangYong Chairman and the new Rexton…….. ok…. the SsangYong Yacht-like-MPV is also yuckie….)

not much change from the current corolla except for some minor cosmetic tweaks. toyota now so big (going to surpass gm soon) that it is afraid of taking risks. we have to look to honda for inspiration in the future. new civic was a radical change from the past. sooo disappointed as i was looking forward to corolla going back to its levin/trueno roots

the design is a bit like the new camry. and it would benefit if the headlights looked alot sharper like the camry sportivo one. and also get rid of the nose type badge in the front engine air intake. use a more conventional one like the IS250.

yes, a bit punto….but the design is still too conservative for me…i would stick to mazda 3/ civic…i think my parents would like it…=)

I hope this is not the final version of 2008 toyota corolla, I hope the design will has some Scion tC DNA plus some IS 250/350 DNA, then the car should look better.

This new model looks daring. I love it so much. Cannot wait to see the actual. With Toyota, you guys don’t have to worry – performance, quality, service, etc.
It is world class ! The design is very latest style. Not like some brand – always design for sporty, which is 70s style lah, so boring!

looks like a GS? looks nothing like a GS to me…

they should have made the corolla look like a smaller mark-x… now thats a nice toyota.

By: jonjwlee

jonjwlee — Mon, 07 Aug 2006 11:18:24 +0000

Paul, the Corolla available in Singapore is the Altis. Not the JDM Corolla. Only Japan (of course) and Hong Kong have the JDM Corolla.

By: renyeo

renyeo — Mon, 07 Aug 2006 10:50:22 +0000

Given the new look which is unfornuately already like that – don’t pin too much hope on the New Altis ‘cos a complete architecture redesign will prove too costly and too late for the undisputed King of obnoxiously bland cars. Shame!

(Obnoxious is defined as unpleasant, offensive and rude. Rude is because the obnoxious King thinks we are all morons who will fall in love by default with a car called Corolla regardless)
