New Toyota Etios
Last Updated:
The Etios is mainly for the Indian market.
The hatchback version will get a 1.2 Liter with 80hp, while the sedan gets a larger 1.5 Liter with 100hp.
Although these specs are pretty low for the US, they are in line with other cars in this class offered in India.
This is the “concept” Toyota showed at the New Delhi Motor show last January.
As you can see, it was just an early preview of the production car. Not really a concept.
The Elios will not be making the trip to the US, as far as we know…
Bet even this thing has a better transmission than the '11 Corolla
I thought it was one of those Chinese rip-offs… definitely one of the ugliest toyotas ever spawned!!!
That Toyota won't be making any trips anywhere–figuritively OR literally.
Judging by the looks it must have been designed and engineered by Toyota's Chinese partner, or by elementary school children.
Its more than good enough for the indian market when you look at the rest of their car line up.
Pathetios would be a more apt name.
looks like a piece of gum i just spit out.
The Elios looks a lot like the future Corolla scheduled for its U.S. debut in 2012.
It kind of reminds me of every other Toyota that is either boring or ugly.
Absolutely Hideous!
That is All.
This will look really good for their market. Look at the vehicles that india have.
Stop posting nonsense Mobis21. The next-gen Corolla will not look like this.
Yes this looks bad to us, but have you people even SEEN the vehicles sold in India? This is a design masterpiece in comparison to most of the stuff they currently sell.
The car is obviously styled *for* India. Or in other words, with no style. Toyota probably gave zero funding to styling on the project.
The car is supposed to be as cheap as possible while still meeting Toyota quality and safety standards.
