I was refering to the Engine (CC, output, Economy Etc.)

 

Also just heard Mahindra is launching Ingeneo this month too.

This will have Mhawk engine & a Auto Transmition option too.

Yes, new  Corolla is due this month. It will have the same petrol VVTi engine with slightly increased power , I think around 135 BHP.

Yes Mahindra plans to launch Ingenio, but Im not sure weather its going to be this month or not. Mahindra has been delaying its launch for sometime now.

well even i heard that the new corolla is being launched with a 2 litre

common rail diesel engine...its going to be released i think by end of

august or september...even i am waiting if the diesel is going to be

launced or not cause i am thinking to sell my 2006 corolla and buy the

new corolla but only if its launched in diesel...but according to me a

corolla diesel will really wipe out other players like octavia and

laura and might also effect the sales of other petrol sedans if its

launced in diesel !!! lets see...

True, Corolla diesel will be quite a competitor! I think it will have a 125 Bhp CRDI engine. Diesel will also affect Civic sales.

u know in this segment at present diesel comes only in brands like skoda and chevrolet which have reliability problems and spare parts pricing in skoda's case....it will be a potent mix of diesel and really strong name of toyota which is synonymous with reliability !!!!

[speed 0]

Yes , this will be quite a popular car, lets see if Toyota launches it soon!

the link u gave,its saying that it will launch in September..

[vineet 0]

Yes but it also says it might have Diesel

I think Toyota would stick to its old strategy of pushing sales of its petrol engines first. Diesel would surely come, but when petrol sales come down.

The new Altis(Corolla) will be launched on Sep 5th . Just saw an ad on The Hindu.

I second Octane_100, saw the ad too. The Altis (new Corolla) is coming on September 5th.

This change of name to just Altis may be stupid. The Corolla brand has a global brand equity. I suspect they will call it the Corolla Altis to differentiate it from the Old Corolla which they may want to flog for some more time.
