It seems the 1.6 version (2006 Altis) don't feature Opitron gauges? Is it true?

Only 1.8 come with it.

Optirons gauges are like the current 2005/6 Toyota Camry (thai). The dashboard gauges will light up automatically no matter it's day or night. It's bright white. When engine off, the color will just fade off and you dont see anything on the gauge display.

oic ...thx for the info bro...the older Altis doesnt haf this feature right?

[Bentwy]

and BM will charge 5K more for these little changes. yay.

 

sorry I drive an altis. no complains about the car but don't fancy BM.

[Bentwy]

is that why some camry drivers forget to switch on their headlights at night?

[Mkvgti]

Not only Camry drivers forget to switch on their headlights. Most drivers driving with these features will tend to forget too. I'm not sure about whether there is auto headlight switch available for the Altis or Camry, but my previous Euro R (CL7)and other makes like Jaguar, Mercedes, BMW and Lexus have such a feature. That way you will not have to worry about driving without headlights on and looking like an idiot on dim roads.

Nice pics, much better than old altis

[Gary84]

i think the F/L Altis is the one that u see in Msia...exactly the same grille tat i saw on Altis in JB....

[Cheeze]

and a nicer stock HU too?

[Quantum]

why is nobody interesting for new altis

[Kelvincklim]

yepp not much of a change. actually i prefer the older version. the new grille looks kinda ugly. tho some may say its more executive ;)

[Gary84]

i agree wif ya...i prefer the Pre F/L Altis...

In my opinion, all these 'Made in Thailand' models really look 'Ah Pek' and ugly. I rate the Altis and City right at the bottom in terms of looks.

[Atlantis_boi]

Juz to clarify. For the 1.8L Altis, the RPM cluster is 270 degree swing while the 1.6L Altis is a semi circle 180 egree swing right?

Altis is ok la. Well, at least the current looks attracts the correct crowd & makes it a top seller in SG. IMO, There r more uglier cars around.

Wat grill it comes with doesnt matter. Change always change to a sports grill

[Carstyle]

Altis is ok, not ugly, but nothing exciting. City is refreshing. Latio is the ugliest by far.

To be honest, the excellent sales of the Altis has a lot to do with loyalty,reputation, reliability and of course clever pricing strategy. I don't think looks play a big part.
