    nakakaaliw nga pero i doubt na pwede yan... bkit kaya sa US wala auto climate control yung mga corolla altis models...

    based on my observation, dito sa pinas, pinaganda ang features like side mirror turn lamps, auto climate control while sa US naman ang pinaganda eh yung engine line-up....

    Toyota is a stockholder in Subaru and Isuzu. I don't know what exact percentage, but that doesn't mean under na sila ng Toyota. They can share technology, but they have their own cosmetic packaging.

    Some Cadillacs have sweeping gauges on their vehicles too. IIRC, my uncles former '99 Chevy Astro conversion van does the same thing. A few GM vehicles and a some japanese cars has 'em so what's the fuzz?



    Does it really matter who invented it first? nothing big to me though

    Ummm, :fyi: Subaru is a division of Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. not the Toyota group. They only have an 8.7% stake at Subaru and the only thing they share thus far is Subaru's Lafayette, Indiana plant were they build Camrys under contract for the North American market.

    Sa 0:05-0:10 part ng video ay ipinakita niya yung key ng kanyang Corolla.

    Same din yung key sa Altis natin dito sa Pinas? With the trunk release button?

    i think sir it wont matter to you po pero for me im still at the learning stage so it really matters for me a lot someday kasi i might encounter those questions again kaya sana at least alam ko na isasagot ko. mamaya kasi yung makausap ko ipagmamalaki 'etong brand nauna diyan gaya gaya lang mga yan' tapos di ko alam na mali pala at nasabi niya lang iyon dahil biased siya.

    (this also reminds me of the game o2jam. i know some of you know it. yung iba kasi nakakatawa na nakakairita dun. most of them say na nauna yun na music game at gaya gaya lang daw konami when the fact is that MOST of the korean games out there are just copycats at mga customers lang nila eh mga walang alam sa mga nauna kaya ganun sila umasta)

    Because the Corolla here is still essentially an entry level car and it's for people who just want transportation for point A to point B. All the features you mentioned are in the Camry where the demographic market is willing to spend more for their car. If you put all the good features in entry level cars what will motivate the buyers to move up in class if they will get the same thing.

    actually the sweeping gauges was from 2000 Cadillac STS

    yeah thats a standard on Camry's & toyota is also doing a push button start and stop standard soon. i dont think you got toyota matrix XRS i think thats much better than corolla. sorry but the corolla's in phil. are like tercel or something, didnt see anyone have 6 speed tranny & 2zzge w/ VVTL-i motor.

Lexus like meter set start up, possible with local 10th gen ??
