2007 Elantra: Clone of Corolla Altis?

[funkngruvn]

Saw the pic of the 2007 Elantra at May 2007 issue of Topgear mag.. i think it looks so much like the Corolla Altis.. what do you think?

Not really... daming distinguishing factors. Medyo common lang nila is that they are both slab sided. Though the Elantra looks better IMO.

for me the 2007 Elantra looks better than the toyota altis.

ok pa tong elantra kasi diesel powered sya.
from top gear mag:
-1.6-liter 16-valve engine
-115 horse power
-255Nm of torque

I saw the '07 Elantra a month ago on the road, i was surprised kala ko Altiz but more define yung curves on the side.

IMHO, Altiz has better proportion by looks.

it costs almost a million bucks. But this car looks promising. Hope to drive it soon.

hmmm. interesting...

nice design actually. very euro-inspired, like the altis.

wow long legs

...And the curve...hehehe

Looks nice. But if it costs about 1M, people might opt for tried and tested Jap brands

Napaka- alluring naman nung shot nung black Elantra! Ganda kasi ng legs!

wow long legs

Sir oldblue, napaka-talas talaga ng mga mata mo.

Oo nga sa biglang tingin parang magkamukha lalo na sa butt end, but as you see them often you can easily spot the difference. Dami na rin kasing mga Elantra dito.

But at 1M Jap brands don't have the power and economy of the Elantra CRDi.

tapos i-ECU tune mo pa. That 115hp would probably go 140hp and the Torque north of 300Nm.

For me mas magandang ang ALTIS sa pix.....although i've not seen the new ELANTRA in actual.....para kasing BUTANDING na nakanganga ang front bumper ng elantra

[funkngruvn]

pero kung abot nga ng 1 million ang elantra ok kaya?

[Blackraven]

Looks okay naman for me.

Even if I'm not a fan of Korean brand vehicles (other than the Veracruz), the car is okay naman.

For 999k, you get a good engine, climate control, aux jack, steering wheel audio controls, ABS w/ EBD and dual airbags.

In short, it offers an alternative to other compact vehicles at 1m price point (such as Civic 2.0 manual, Mazda 3 2.0, etc.).

I don't see a problem with this car so far.
