Certainly I would not buy the new model as portrayed. Nothing of any consequence is different. For me to change would require either the 2.4 engine from the Camry, which is presumably the same size external dimensions as the 2 litre engine, since they both fit in the Camry; or the forthcoming Camry Hybrid engine, which should have more power. It would also need a 5 or 6-speed automatic gearbox. Having seen this outline of the disappointing new model, might get TRD in Thailand to supercharge mine giving an increase in power from 150 to 200 bhp.

End up, overstretch live span of the model LONGER than continental, normally 7-8 years instead of normal Japanese/Korean at 4 years with 2 years, facelift interval. Altis produced from minor change of front/rear Toyota launched in 2001. 2007 world got their Altis, which last at least until 2012. SO, the same model use more than 10 years. Why we got this? Because they can afford the luxury of being TOYOTA, really great name with so so tech but awesome reliability. I'll buy this car over my previous love, STREAM though Stream really a new model when it launched in 2006; not merely a facelift. Simply because reliability though engine-wise the Honda give more mile every liter but not so significant. By the way, l'll never compromise if they only offer lower than multiple suspension for all. Drum brake also can't considered too.
