They sure are not sleeping.

Toyota is a very safe player and delivers everytime they bring a car to the market. If you look at their history, very seldom they've failed with a certain model they've brought to the market. The same law applies for India too. Corolla can't be called a failure in India and so is Camry. It always reached their sales target (in a slower manner for Camry). And regarding new models, they wont follow any maker in their approch. Ofcourse, we are very much in thirst for their small car, Fortuner, newer Corolla, Qualis replacement (Cannot call the innova that) etc... I am sure Toyota knows this more than anybody.
I think only Toyota launched a new car before it was launched in the Middle east and many other parts of the world. The new Camry was a surprise car to many. Not a single car maker (other than Maruti) has done that before in India.

Ofcourse! Iam also of the opinion of bringing in Yaris hatchback and Sedan. As the premium hatchback thingy is catching up, it'll only be a pleasure to see Yaris launched soon. And Fortuner too would be well accepted by us.
I also want to see ECHO being launched here as it will be a good option in Ikon, accent, Esteem bunch of cars. And how can we forget Lexus? Please bring it in too! Especially the new IS!!!!

So, guyz! Surprises are something we can always expect from Toyota. And they'll make everybody think twice. I say Toyota is like a benchmark which other carmakers try to match (Nissan, GM etc.. is bringing in an Innova rival soon. And somebody said some time ago the Innova was a flop). You would have never expected a Civic before Corolla here. And recently Toyota became the No.1 beating Ford in US!

Still think they're sleeping?? Then defenitely Sleep is better!
