T&T OFFICIAL New Vehicle Prices & Discussion Thread

It's lost all its muscular lines that made it look so dominant on he road. The interior is ugly with this new faux wood grain. Why BMW why? You can't beat Audi in design and looks

[Bezman]

The Cruze has great success is WTCC in Europe and has been doing very very well over there... callallo car built in old deawoo factories or not... they look good and have some good race pedigree

[aidan]

^^Front shot there looks like an SX4

[acesinghit]

who cares where it was assembled, the thing has some BMW 5-series styling in it and I found out the movietowne cruze is a 1.8l which is not the advertised $200k. That 200k model lacks the leather and sunroof. Lifestyle made a poor decision to bring down the 1.8 as opposed to the 1.4turbo and 1.6turbo.

Quick mahindra update: Something broke


Nothing major, the hoodlight switch thing broke and I noticed a few rusting screws, called my sales agent last night and she offered me to come in with the van and they will take care of it.

And everyone stares when you drive this thing :/

Had my hilux almost 3 months now, looks and works the same way when it drove out the show room. Doing 6000 km now I drive it everyday no issues.

3months huh? Good for you. My hilux on 200000 sum km and gets beaten everyday, mahindra has been taking every blow along side the hilux. Major differnce IMO is the hilux has more power, that's about it and well the mahindra gets those akward stares


I'm happy lifestyle acknowledged the faults and asked no questions to replace.


With my toyotas and Tttl over the past 10years......well lets hope you have better luck.

Hilux is also twice the price.

[ek4ever]

hey ek4ever you are spot on but I don't think the rio is available with a 1.6 locally. Those rio's and accent's only local petrol engine is the 1.4l.

Oh ... thought they were available with 1.4L and optional 1.6L .... I guess they reserve the 1.6L for the Elantra and Cerato to prevent too much internal competition. Sonic looks great though may consider a test drive soon.

[silent_riot]

Btw, those BMW 5 year warranty ads are still running, so I assume the 3 series offer is still on.

[dogichi]

The BMW 5 year warranty promotion is done...it finished the end of May. And it was on certain models only

[Swisha]

um...ewww?

[Rory Phoulorie]

Toyota, once a leader is now a follower.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

I like it.

[Renaldo25]

actually its not half bad considering toyota is not known for being radical in terms of redesign. if only it came w maybe a 1.6 and they expanded the feature set and got rid of that base model with no abs ...and also price will be very interesting....market is competitive like hell nowadays...good time to be a new car buyer...

[kurpal_v2]

I like it.

X2 in red with different rims.


LOVE the off axis tweeters and kick panels.

[scotty_buttons]

I like it.

x2.

maybe because I didnt have much expectations with respect to design to begin with

unlikely that interior would be available here though.

[noshownogo]

If it comes loaded like that, look for them to charge near $300k

[aidan]

corolla looks sweet,

the front reminds me of this though


2011 ford focus

[kurpal_v2]

If it comes loaded like that, look for them to charge near $300k

More expecting to see sum along these lines:

[cinco]

Minus the alloys and add hubcaps lol
Corolla still comin wid.hubcaps.and rear drums even in the us

[MadCrix]

Elantra is 1.8

[acesinghit]

These are the 11th generation Toyota Corolla line-up:

Below we start with the new Corolla Axio:






This is the wagon version to the Axio, ie. the new Corolla Fielder:






This appears to be the all-new Corolla Altis:




This is the Corolla Levin hatch:




As posted before, this is the 2014 Corolla for North America:






I am totally unimpressed overall except for the Levin.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

What would have impressed you from a visual standpoint?

[MadCrix]

Ojhh the Levin hatch sexy as hell


See i not anti Toyota...now the part that drops the ball. What specs will the local car have

[kurpal_v2]

Most likely everything you see there minus the stuff that makes you like it

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

CVT IYMC.

[honda hoe]

levin is hot

[acesinghit]

MadCrix, it will have the carry over NZ and ZR engine family. I suspect the 1.5 1NZ-FE as base and possibly the 1.6 1ZR-FE and 1.8 2ZR-FE as the higher spec. I would not be surprised if there is also a very basic 1.3 1NR-FE option. Some if not all of them will be paired with CVT transmissions. Otherwise it uses front mc pherson struts and torsion beam rear suspension.

The only thing Toyota really had to do was simply sketch a new exterior and interior design!

[Rory Phoulorie]

Elantra is 1.8

Elantras are sold locally with 1.6L and 1.8L engines.

[acesinghit]

the only 3 compacts locally that offer a 1.8 option is the Corolla, Civic and Cruze. The Elantra is 1.6 only. Maybe the elantra pulling so nice it feels like a 1.8! But if this is the case how much is the Elantra 1.8? I predict around $245-$250k

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Ent madcrix owns an elantra?

[ek4ever]

Corolla styling has always been a failure ... ppl who buy this car are only concerned with getting from point A to B reliably ... a true appliance (actually applies to all Toyotas).
