vineet 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2008 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

speed 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2008 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.

mehul_bhp 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2008 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...

speed 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2008 True, Corolla diesel will be quite a competitor! I think it will have a 125 Bhp CRDI engine. Diesel will also affect Civic sales. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mehul_bhp 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2008 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 Report post Posted August 7, 2008 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
octane_100 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2008 The new Altis(Corolla) will be launched on Sep 5th . Just saw an ad on The Hindu. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sgiitk 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2008 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
