For Your Information........The TKM Guys Say that they are gonna launch 5 new models by 2010 They are : -

New Corolla :- The Current Generation's production will be stopped in a span of about 4 to 5 months. the new generation again is coming with only a petrol engine (the same 1.8 with minor ecu tuning) .again the pricing have been hiked to about 14 lakhs.The that no diesel will be available for the indian market have been mainly slated as the TKM guys explained was that
40 % of toyota sales worldwide consists of the corolla of that 90% is of the gasoline varient. !!!!!

Midsize Sedan :- Maybe the Yaris Sedan or Vaios ,something in the size of the current Honda City and a direct competition

Superhatch :- something in the tune to a Suzuki Swift & Skoda Fabia with similar pricing will definitely be either of the Aygo or the Yaris hatch.

Compact SUV : - A SUV in the price range of the current Camry (Must be the Fortuner)

And Last But Not The Least

Compact Car : - It will be a solely made for India car with pricing similar to that of a WagonR,Estilo or Santro.

Heard through the wire that they are also considering the Camry as the SKD Kits insted of CBU to cut costs and stay in the market with fierce competition expected from new Honda Accord and likes of the Passat and 3 Series.

cheers:
