hmmmm...here's an interesting article. this could be the reason of the delay. you think the next corolla will be powered by a boxer engine?

Toyota plans to outsource the full redesign of a "sporty subcompact" to Subaru. The move comes as the world's second-largest auto maker faces severe personnel shortages amid rapid expansion of its business, the Nihon Keizai business daily reported. The deal would also allow Subaru's parent company Fuji Heavy, now owned 8.7 percent by Toyota, to make better use of resources after it dissolved its capital ties with General Motors Corp last month, the report said. A Toyota spokeswoman said Toyota and Fuji Heavy are exploring cooperation in development and production, but added that no details had been decided yet.

Also, historically, nauuna naman lagi yung higher end linalabas sa market then the low end then the middle...

Tignan nyo mga year gaps ng mga lumang cars.

I guess Sentra isn't a threat to Toyota and Honda kaya anything that the Sentra may do better, doesn't necessarily mean that Toyota and Honda will follow.

Yung new camry I've seen sa US. Verrry nice!

Nauna ang Altis (2001) sa Vios (july 2003). Pero since madedelay (according to the article), baka mauna yung Vios dito (Yaris sedan).
