thumbs up to Toyota Motor Philippines!

[splerdu]

TMP dominates all vehicle sales categories this year (a feat no other manufacturer has been able to do so far). From Corolla Altis to Camry to Revo to RAV4.

Perhaps more interesting than the dominance they have now is their radically different model lineup that added a certain euro pizzaz to just about all their models, certainly making the roads more interesting.

Well, I guess Honda has to do something about their passenger cars like introduce the new model City. They can also try and do something about the customer complaints that they've been getting from people who have their cars serviced at their CASAs.

[mazdamazda]

what they are lacking is a mid sized SUV to battle with the likes of the pajero, etc.

their soon to come prado looks too expensive (SRP est at 3 - 3.5M)... they should bring in here the 4runner or something...

their van line-up is also ho-hum... the grandia is way too expensive and doesn't that have much accessories consdering its price...

[crawdaddy]

yep, 4runner instead of the Hilux Surf (which wasn't really locally marketed) and for safety reasons too (orig LHD vs. conversions)...

sayang talaga ang Surf, kung hindi lang ako kinakabahan sa safety issues yun na sana 2nd choice ko (1st is the Hilux pickup)...

[ephraim]

the 4runner should be nice. thats what they should bring here. :mrgreen: yeah, the grandia sucks. why doesnt toyota philippines bring in the previa or the celica :?:

Guys, i would like to get your comments on this matter.

Toyota Corolla Altis (white) will be the official car of the PNP. Got this info from a Toyota employee.

Wow! bigat talaga ng PNP! :roll:

Ba tlaga?

I've seen some previous model Corolla GLi's up north as police cars.

IMHO ok naman ang Altis for police car, but medyo mahal pa ata sa maintenance ang Altis, and considering the way it will be driven.

[ephraim]

why altis? pwede na yung LE. considered the way it would be driven pwede na yung LE. an LE costs P559,000 and a 1.6J costs P692,000. much more expensive. malaki matitipid nila. pero kung yung PNP gusto talaga gumastos, Altis talaga sila. :mrgreen:

mazdamazda,

the new 4runner is identical to the new prado, and the 4runner in north america doesn't carry a diesel engine. imo, it's not toyota's fault that the price of the prado and the LC100 is artifically pumped up by 100%... blame it on the stupid tax scheme of the govt

toyota has debuted the new Sienna minivan... looks good, powered by a 3.3L (making 230 hp yata) gas V6... imo, if people are buying the venture over here, toyota could sell some Siennas over here too (and Honda and its oddysey). meron ding ibang mas maliit na minivans sa Japan home market, which could do battle with the serena QR-V

other thoughts:

- toyota should make an M/T available with the Altis 1.8G
- so with the Camry, and they should put more spiffy-looking wheels on the camry

[AC]

hmmm... meron po ako nakita sa toyota quezon ave... dinala ng trailer... 6 units... 1.6J... na puti? baka yun na mga yun? kaya pala taka ako... dami naman umoorder ng puti...

[phillipogi]

dati dinala ng TMP ang Previa dito (small numbers only) kaya possible na maglabas ng ganitong klaseng van dito.

if Mitsubishi sold all their Eclipse in just a few months, why not try bringing in newer models, para pati Toyota sumali sa pag benta ng Celica. If before may Celica sa 'pinas, why not now?

[empy]

guys, the new 4runner is almost USD 40,000 here. hardly mid-priced at all, and a big departure from how much it used to cost.

i can only guess that they are trying to move it upmarket, and put in a new mid-priced SUV (maybe based on the Lexus RX300?)

[mr_draglord]

HINTAYIN NYO PA COMING THIS MARCH E MAY PANTAPAT ANG TOYOYA SA HONDA CITY. THE SMALLER VER COROLLA ALTIS. THE VIOS.

[Visitor]

With the luxury tax scheme of the govt. there is a slim to none chances that Toyota's bringing a 4runner in the Philippine soil. Plus the Phils. is not a good place to market a V6 cars.

So most likely corolla, camry, revo and RAV4 will be the dominating brands for Toyota.
