eto na 10th Gen Corolla

[wakin]

more of a face lift. i personally don't like the design. but then again, its a toyota, this car will still sell on its own.

[109]

Wait and see till they sell like hotcakes.

hmmmnnn.

just because the civic's got this chickenfoxy-lemon-thing that even this fugly corolla will likely sell like hotcakes? :bwahaha:


yes, why not? it's a toyota.

[KoKoNAT]

Which Civic are you guys comparing this against, the sedan or the hatch? The new Corolla, like the new Civic and the Yaris, has 2 different cars for its hatch and sedan versions. While I agree the sedan's look is quite normal, I wouldn't say the same thing about the hatch. Come to think of it, I don't like the look of the new Civic sedan either. So there.

compared to the civic, mas maganda ;tong Corolla na bago. Sure, medyo facelift lang ang dating niya, but I prefer classic lines over the spaceship like Civic. The Civic can stand on its own, but is not above the Corolla. Only time will tell...will the Civic's design look good 3 or 4 years from now? I don't know, but I doubt it.

Sana may ilabas silang station wagon version

[ian_rex]

looks like an altis only that all the round corners are squared off. as for the interior, it is more mature- more like a camry. luxurious but nice.

[BlueBimmer]

everybody is going gaga over the civic mainly because of its radical interior and digital displays. it'll wear off in time.

[Asus700]

i kind like it. it will definitely sell like a hotcake. nanginginig na mga taga honda, hehehe, nagiisip na siguro ng kung ano anong marketing gimmick to counter its soon release. they can't dislodge toyota in the sedan market.

i remember the 9th generation corolla had a hard time taking off in its first 2 years, people can't adjust to its looks compare to previous models. i'm sure it will look nicer on the road than on pics.

I really like the corolla..

its clean..

[Memphis Raines]

So I guess it is now down to the million peso question:

Which brand will have the best reliability?

I mean the two brands have an arena of their own. A lota lemoning regarding the new Civic has been posted here di ba? Paint problems, roof leaking and a host of others despite all that technology. Toyota has always been branded as "uninspiring" yet it makes up in terms of dependability.

Opinions opinions......

I think that this 10th gen corolla will sell very good here. A lot of us (filipino) are grown up with the corolla. We'll as for me I remmember the corolla of my uncle back then and it's still runs till now. Kahit anong itsura pa nyan they will surely get this. Only a few of us browse the internet or register to a forum like tsikot.com. Siguro nga 10-20 % lang. Toyota is toyota and Honda is Honda. But for a Filipino mas marami ang maka toyota.

RE: Lemons... that's mostly down to final assembly and Quality Control. Doesn't have anything to do with the mechanical package.

RE: Corolla or Civic? Personally, the new Civic is a great engine and a competent car. Not as sporty as the Mazda3 in handling, or as sophisticated as the Ford Focus in suspension tuning. But it's a great chassis for Honda to work on improving. The suspension is sophisticated, with positive camber on the inside front wheels in turns (surprising on a McPherson strut car) and a good rear multi-link. And the engines leave current Toyotas in the dust in terms of power-efficieny ratio.

Hmmm... Corolla? If it retains the same simplified beam-axle suspension, the stiff but unsporting ride all new Toyotas seem to have, and sports merely an evolutionary change of the current looks, I don't know.

For sure, people will buy them as appliances, but with most "family men" looking at the rash of new seven seaters on the market, and many sedan buyers now being younger drivers looking for a little flash, I think the Corolla may suffer terrible sales cannibalization from the Innova, Avanza and Vios.

The Corolla, at least, maintains its aura of indestructibility, helped by the current Altis, but Toyota in general is starting to stumble. The real reason that Toyota delayed the Corolla is to ensure that then Corolla lives up to that reputation.

looks like a facelift. it must be just a stop gap model in preparation for the 11th gen.

[basti08]

reminds me of the circa 94-99 Imprezas.

also, what this needs is an IRS to keep pace with most of the competition.

[squala]

One thing I noticed is that this Corolla's wheels still have 4 holes, while the Civic has already upgraded to 5.

Overall, I wasn't really amused. Having been brought out later than expected, I anticipated a much better design. I personally like the 9th gen better. Headlights are a mix of Vios and 5-Series - not good chemistry.

The interior is nice, like most of you said. At least that's a very good consolation.

I'm not sure if the ASEAN version will have a different look front and rear, but it will need a bigger engine to really steal huge sales figures from the Civic, which offers a 2.0. The new 1.8 and (finally) the CVT should work together pretty well, but a manual is still a must for purists.

lagi naman ups and downs ang generation ng Corolla eh:

started 90s

AE92 6th- small but modern on its time, so OK lang (-)/(+)

AE101 7th- revolutionary, ganda, big cabin, decent performance (+)

AE111 8th- to most of you, SUCKS big time, isnt any better than the AE101. (-)

Altis 9th- as revolutionary to the lovelife as the big body is to the "16valve body"... good features, performance and practical. trumps the competition in sales.

Axio 10th- ho humm... well, Toyota took our words for saying that the current is still one of the best and thus they said to themselves "why fix something that's aint broken?"

[niky]

Only thing I'd fix on the current one (while they're putting make-up on) is the suspension tuning. I don't mind beam axles, as long as they're well tuned, but the current Corolla, while combining good body control and a good ride (relatively) is light years behind the competition on both fronts.

Since Proton is in trouble, maybe Toyota should buy Lotus off of them to have Lotus "tune" their suspensions?

mga pre JDM corollas really look fugly... check out the current pre-face lift at face-lifted JDM sa toyota.jp & the current altis of the same underpinnings you will be surprised that JDMs look fugly....

wait for the ASEAN corollas.... cgurado iba head & tail lights nito....

[oldblue]

definitely it will be a hot sell for "inner-lane" type of people, those who like to play safe and be always on the safe side of things ...

[dxx_ddf]

everybody is going gaga over the civic mainly because of its radical interior and digital displays. it'll wear off in time.

[finchy18]
