-From Mike Tejero, Toyota Makati originally posted in Top Gear Philippines.

Engines are carryover units, now with the correct power figures.
132PS for the 1.8 and 109PS for the 1.6.
I guess we can expect advertisements to pop out soon.

:boring:

Could these cars be anymore bland...

[Djerms]

At least they will now be advertising the correct power figures. Only problem is for those who don't know about the issue. They might be thinking that Toyota came up with a weaker engine..hehe.

[CVT]

Nagmahal na talaga ang mga sasakyan ngayon..... Grabe!

Hindi ba't nag-appreciate ang Peso vs. the Dollar?.... (Pero nagmahal ang langis....)....

Mods,- paki-merge na lang ang dalawang parehong threads about the new Altis. TIA.

yup he is the one, if I would get a
Toyota I would get it from this guy

I wonder how will they match this up with the Civic. sabi nila dati against Civic SiR, "Power is not enough to be called Sir".

[roninblade]

the grill and emblem looks out of sorts with the rest of the face, IMO

[ruel23]

same here in aussie "corolla ascent"

I think TMP should offer the black mesh grill, at least as an accessory.

The black mesh grill is used by the USDM Corolla and Taiwan market Altis Z.

This grill makes the new Corolla look younger...

Corolla Altis 1.8V

I agree. Kung ito mas ok. Maganda yung bumper.

[flat_four_fan]

why did toyota retained the cheap live axle rear suspension?

ang hina pa ng mga engines. honda civics are way better.

[flex]

ang mahal!

Lalo na un 1.8V....just add in a little u could get the highest spec ng Civic with a 2.0 liter engine pa....or the Mazda3 2.0

[shadow]

:boo: ang tagal nila nilabas itong "new" corolla, tapos ito lang ilalabas?..parang face lift lang eh...:boo:


toyota altis>>>>:flush:

[bender]

yup, seems kinda expensive for what you are getting. yikes, i might even consider getting the unthinkable for me. a civic later this year. maybe even the new lancer.

[squala]

Are you sure the engines are carried over? In Australia, there's a new 1.8-liter engine, 1ZR-FE, producing 134 hp but has a slightly higher redline at 6400 RPM. Manual gearbox is a new 6-speed, but the auto, unfortunately, has to soldier on with a dated 4-speed, a big turn-off in an era of 5-speed autos or CVTs. Europe also has a new 1.6-liter motor, 3ZR-FE I think, doing 124 hp.

Styling and driving dynamics are still bland, but the dash is much better and is noticeably more economical, at least 1 km/liter better.

pound for pound, parang mas sulit yung price ng honda civic, remember 1.8 against 1.6 for almost the same price........and yung back light ng new altis quite disappointing.... ATTN: Toyota, better lower your price or baka maiwan kayo ng benta.....for the top of the line altis, add a few hundred thousand Camry na! di ba

[city_hunter]

May pag-asa na mitsu nito. Ang pangit ng "new?" Corolla kasi. Kahit delay sila, mas sulit naman kung icocompare sa Toyota.

Sana lang, competitive yung price nila (patay ang mga kakompetensya nila). Yung pangalan lang kasi ang mahal eh (halos parepareho lang yung design nila kasi).

I feel na makakabawi na ang mitsu this year sales-wise.
