Further Toyota Fortuner and Corolla launch details

The Toyota fortuner could be here as early as by the end of this year[2008] is what ET says.Ofcourse the next generation corolla would be the first off the blocks and we should hear more of the corolla launch and specifications soon.

The next generation corolla is expected to have a diesel engine and going by the incentives offered by toyota dealers the launch of the next generation corolla seems to be very close.Regarding the pricing the expected bracket is in the range of Rs.10-14 lakhs.Now rarely do car companies manage to meet these predictions but if toyota do we have a clear winner on our hands especially with a diesel in the lineup.

Regarding the Fortuner it too is expected to be towards the end of the year 2008[or even early next year].It is expected to be in the price range of Rs.15-19 lakhs which again would be a fantastic price if toyota manage to keep it at that.However given that the fortuner is an ofshoot of the innova a more aggresive pricing could have been targetted.

However Toyota just seems to be at the wrong time at the wrong place once again,this certainly isn't the best time to sell cars.But then new cars and that too from toyota may just be a blessing in disguise and may actually revive interest in Automobiles.
