    Hey! I'm planning to own a Corolla altis G M/T but I cant decide what color I'd choose. I would love gray metallic (dark gray) but its only available for V grades, which doesnt have a manual transmission. I'd choose black but its too sensitive to smudges, scratches, and dirt. Thermalyte (silver metallic) would be nice with a super black tint but my colleagues say it makes a car look low-end. That leaves me with with beige and medium silver. I dont like beige so scratch that, but medium silver looks so standard. What do you think? Any Suggestions? Please help.

    hello there!

    imo, i prefer silver (thermalyte) if you're planning on the low-end model since it would make it look upscale. but since you'll be getting the mid trim i would suggest that you get medium silver. that color is only available on the g & v variants so there's that feeling of exclusivity. hehe..

    beige is a nice color also. hehe..

    but i really love the color white. sad to say, it's only available on the low-end variant. is it possible to order the color white but with 1.6g or 1.6v trim?

    Yeah, Beige is ok. But there is something to it that does not feels right for me.

    Oh and you cannot order a white G & V altis, re-paint is the only option , kung pwede nga lang sana dark gray eh. Bakit kasi walang V na manual! ang ganda pa naman ng interior.

    Hmmm... Medium silver huh , sa tingin nyo ba ok pag ang tint ko is dark magic pag ito na kulay?

    Thanks guyz!

    Thanks... Ok na din sana ako sa medium silver, but the majority of the "decision-makers" chose thermalyte, kaya ayun, thermalyte na. pero ok na din, hindi naman din pala masyadong mukhang low-end. Baka bukas release na pala, thank you sa lahat. Sayang nga lang naubusan ako ng '08 model. Sayang yung 30k discount.. Sa mga may plano bumili ng Altis, bilisan niyo mag isip, para makakuha pa kayo ng 2008 model pero puro A/T variants nalang meron.

    Thanks, I'll do just that ... Ano kaya magandang ilagay dun? Balak ko kasi lagyan ng chrome na lining sa may grill, parang sa 1.8 V
