Toyota’s Etios is definitely shaping up to be more than just a “for India” product. Reports indicate that the compact, which made its debut in sedan form in late 2010 and in hatchback guise in June last year, is to be sold in Brazil, arriving there by year end.
The automaker will modify specifications of the car to cater to local requirements, allowing the engine to run on gasoline blended with ethanol. The Etios will be assembled at an upcoming factory in Sao Paulo, and Toyota is looking to shift 70,000 units annually.
Aside from the Etios, the Prius hybrid is also Brazil-bound, and like the Etios, will get some minor reworking done on it so it can run on ethanol-blended fuel. The Etios has also been speculated as a candidate for the Chinese market, due sometime in 2013.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
This is the ugliest creature I have ever seen b4
I agree with you. However, there are ppl purchase Bcoz T brand ma….
wowooooo so nice, much much much more beautiful than giugiaro ital designed preve
this is what i call conti design
much more beautiful than preve? LOL im not surprised if the cars you own either looks fugly or was still in their 80s..
Well done for making a fool of yourself. Must be a great accomplishment to finally get into the troll club?
Whatever it is, ugly or not, it’s subjective. Let’s see if the sales figure is better than the global car or not. It should be a fair comparison since the global car are sold globally.
It can be forgiven that initially it was designed for mass India market (low cost, affordable and basic), so the look is not a priority in this case.But this is a car from Toyota that I won’t buy if it ever comes to Malaysia.
OMG…..damn ugly.pls dont launch here.
I won’t say its ugly , it just makes the world a more mundane and boring, unambitious place to live in. the way i test a beauty of a car is to gauge whether i would wash it on my own . In this case ,I’ll send it to the cleaners
:-)
sorry, i still have to say it is ugly..
=)
Better send it to the recycling factory at least can save the world :D
Souless car…….
may be vios replacement…huh boring
If u have been following paultan’s blog all the consistently, you would have known that this car was produced for the india market more than year ago..the interior and the engine are basics not designed with the usual standard Toyota designers, it’s probably designed in india..So there’s no way this is gonna be the next vios..
toyota just hired a bunch of monkey to design this crap
and approved by their in-house zookeepers
but.. the japanese will say this car is much better than the new Kia K3/Forte… (even its a diff segment)
*hopefully they going for eye surgery lol
the japs are not as ignorant as you are..they know how to design car at different specs and price, and know where to market them..
Perdodua salesman detect!!
Could this be the next vios?
Only idiot will think it is…
yea, an idiot will think this is the next vios
Anyone understand the tile “Toyota Etios – next stop for it and the Prius is Brazil”
or is it my PC shortchange me on words ! or my English is not there ?? our Education is killing us or only me !! not just cars’ price ….
Pls enlighten…
Ur England definitely not there….
It simply means the next launch for Etios n Prius is in Brazil….
yea..i can understand it too..where did you get your education, MARS?
what so difficult?
Means the next place to sell both prius and its ugly sibling is Brazil la..
i never read english literature… ;)
the Ultimate eyesore machine
Wow, the prettiest car I’ve ever seen, I’m blind by the way.
yeah very pretty …. im hardcore toyota supporter by the way
myvi sedan?
yes, it could be 1st perodua sedan….but which model will replace current vios?
If the price it’s lower than the Saga, which by right it should in Global perspective, which car do you think most M’Sian will go for?
definitely NOT this abomination..but of course except for some die-hard toyota fans.
buy a saga, slap toyota badge on it.
some say blueprint has been found at serendah.. is it candidate for perodua sedan? perhap.. yaaa.. way better than preve.. in some point.
So sick by looking at this car.
hopefully dis is not our future vios in Malaysia..
reminds me of the old honda city
If both Perodua Etios vs Proton Saga FLX at RM43K price range…which one you choose???
Your choice shows just how smart or hypocrite you are…he he he
Another big trouble for Proton if Perodua Etios launched soon… BAD NEWS PROTON, BAD NEWS…
Perodua Etios = Saga killer…???
You think perodua will price it in that range? think again.
perodua etios will definitely kills vios not saga….but depends on umw strategy. whether perodua or toyota to lead our market …umw will decide because both are belong to umw…
My personal opinion, this car is ugly. But preve is ugly too, especially the bud. Remove the eksais duty of imported car, enough feeding the crony.
Pumpkin has no brain maaa. How to think? Bashing Proton is only what he knows.
Smart or hypocrite …..I’ll stick to my kapcai over this Toyota.
Congrats to Toyota…you have successfully designed a car that is ugly right from the start….
I dont think any car designer can top that achievement.
buruk
This car looks like facelifted Dugong…ZZZzzzzz.
Heard maybe P2 will rebadge this car. More fugly looking cars set to flood Malaysian roads.
