Point is, it does look better than previous gen and this is something many reviews from topgear Philippines to Bangkok Post have commented. We'll have to wait and see the final version here before we can decide but I think with the right warranty for the battery and pricing, the hybrid should sell well. U seem to think they will sell the hybrid here? With Prius n Prius C available though 1 is a sort of sportback (my own description) n the other a HB, I suppose they do have room for a saloon hybrid. Battery warranty think Toyota has a 1 free replacement within 10yrs which so far I believe is adequate as not heard anything negative about it and anyway Toyota hybrids are the market leaders. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what's the price of the hybrid? My guess would be more than $120k which if correct, won't move much even for a Toyota. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rem this is BM, they will instruct Toyota Thailand factory to give us a big 2DIN hole for the car, no factory leather, no alloy wheels, no aircon etc to depress the OMV. All these will then be installed at the PDI center when the cars are to be delivered to customers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemmoglock 3rd Gear October 18, 2019 Author Share October 18, 2019 On 10/17/2019 at 2:02 PM, Cheefarn said: The trouble with our Asian market G12 Corolla design is that the design team still tried too hard to cater for the 'traditional'...read ah pek buyers which means they need to tone down the sporty cues and add in alot of chrome etc. This is why in 2020, we still have 2 versions of Corolla worldwide. The sporty model is meant for 1st world, developed countries while this boring front end are for 3rd world countries in this region. And u can see that Toyota designers still retained the flared fenders look... only to find tiny 15-16in wheels in those huge fenders. All these mismatch styling elements are what makes the G12 Corolla sedan looked like it was designed by some rojak sellers LOL The flared fenders would look great in western market Corolla hatch and wagon where 17-18in wheels were standard fit in there. "this boring front end" is also the sedan variant in Europe. Not 3rd world the last I checked haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world doesn't revolve around you, your opinion means nothing to them Statistically, Toyota is the top car selling brand in the world for 2018, and Corolla is the top selling model in the world.

fkborneo October 25, 2019 Share October 25, 2019 PSA: Borneo has asked for top-up According to SE, Borneo Motors has not asked for top up since 2016. This is now October 2019. Ordered in July when COE price was S$26.7k; recent round was S$32.3k. Borneo asked us to top up. Gave us the option of either topping up S$2k (non-guaranteed) or waiting another few months. Apparently Borneo is only willing to bid S$27k. Thought I should share this because when I bought the car, I tried looking up Borneo's call history online. Could not find so relied on SE who told me no need to buy guaranteed as no chance of top up. Pretty annoyed because I checked with our SEs from Honda, Nissan, Kia, Hyundai, Suzuki - apparently all their customers got their cars. TLDR: Borneo sucks. Should have bought a Hyundai!
