A teaser button on UMW Toyota Motor’s website leads to a registration page where you can sign up for updates on the new Toyota Corolla Altis, which according to the page will be launched sometime in March 2008.
No other details about the car is revealed, so we’ll have to keep guessing at the moment what different trim level and specifications we will be getting on Malaysian soils, but a good guess would be a line-up that is similiar to the Thai line-up, which is also unrevealed.

Comments on the new Toyota Corolla Altis were mostly negative regarding its exterior design, with many viewers calling it ugly, uncle-ish, or uninspired, while some felt the styling was suitable or acceptable. Several comments expressed disappointment that the car retained old engine specifications, offering only 1.6 and 1.8 models without the newer Dual VVT-i technology, and lamented the lack of a 5-speed auto transmission. There was also criticism about the car's perceived lack of innovation and the conservative, bland look, especially compared to rivals like Civic or Lancer, which some considered more stylish. Despite these critiques, others acknowledged the Altis's strong brand reputation and predicted it would still sell well in the Malaysian market due to its reliability and Toyota’s reputation. Overall, sentiments leaned toward dissatisfaction with the design and specifications.
