I found the information on the Corolla Altis at Toyota of the Phillipines. It looks sharp. Is this what they are going to bring here? Anyone know?

I am interested in an auto as the wife does not care for sticks. I see that the Toyota Matrix on the United Kingdom sites has a wheelbase of 102 inches and it states it is based on the new gen Corolla. Also, the Altis seems to be 102 wheelbase as it works out to that when you convert the mm specs to inches from the Toyota of the Philippines site. I hope they used a couple of those inches for rear leg room.
Anyone know of any site where mpg info on the Altis is posted? For various engines and trans.
we may or may not get that look. more people seem to think we'll (north america) will the get the japanese version which looks more like a bigger echo.
read somewhere that 2003 corolla may be out as early as spring 2002.

Thanks
In fact, MY mother's Corolla (actually a Geo Prizm but the same car) has the four speed and I STILL find myself trying to make sure it IS actually in overdrive. Even the 4's gearing could be a bit higher for the expressway, but the three is actually quite annoying.
less wear and less noise. to people who dont drive on highways, it's ok. i personally prefer 4spd or anything higher.
Dealer lists it for 11400 and I bet he will take 11000 or so. Any opinions or suggestions are welcome!!

If you compare the current 2002 Corolla with the Wieck 2003 photo(same as Corolla Altis), you can see the design evolution from the 2002 to the 2003 for the front and rear lights. They could have made it more stylish to attract the younger crowd, but I guess they don't want to alienate the over 45 typical Corolla buyer.
Personally I don't see all that many people over 45 driving Corollas in my town. I'd guess that the average age is closer to 25.
Strager: the Corolla (the current design) is already very close to the Civic in terms of sales, so why completely risk alienating the current owner base of 40 year olds to attract younger ones when the payoff may back-fire. I absolutely HATE the Japanese version of the Corolla that was posted here in a link to Popular Mechanics website. HIDEOUS.
Toyota tried, and failed, to meet the younger crowd with its misshapen ECHO. Perhaps they found this out: Distinct doesnt mean success.
Give me the 145hp 1.8L Altis, a 5sp transmission, decent rims, decent suspension, and ABS and watch me fly by the cops on I-80 as they pull over that burnt orange 02 Civic Si.

I like its look though, it's not the best-looking compact sedan (I think the little Hyundai Accent takes that prize), but it's a fresh face in the crowd. Quite frankly, I'm just darned sick of looking at so many Civics and Focuses (Foci?) on the road, and the current Corolla resembles the last gen. Altima a bit from the front.
But if we get the Altis...what can I say, the headlights look like last gen. Hyundai Elantra.
Thank you in advance.
