SCOOP : Caught Testing-The New Corolla

aravindwarrier · 19th May 2008, 20:15

Guys, I've been on my job today at a rural village called Bangarupalem, in Chittoor Dt., AP when I managed to catch this.This place is in between Bangalore and Tirupati, Old Madras Road.

Only the badgings and Head and tail lights where disguised/covered . Not a remarkable design by any count. The interiors although looked airy, fresh and modern in comparision to the existing Corolla, cannot hold candle to the CIVIC.Have unfinished

work, hence more details later.

Where is the water-mark?

Nice catch Arvind!!!

iTNerd · 19th May 2008, 20:21

so finally it is here... the front looks much better now... if the ride, handling and engine grunt are as good (if not better) as the current corolla, then it would be a serious competitor to Civic.. so, guess, it just 2-3 months away from launch..

Nice catch. However, please put the name across the pic!

This one can be easily removed by cropping.

See the bottom? I couldn't do better. If anybody can,

Nitin · 19th May 2008, 20:29

Good find,Aravind.
I've seen the new Corolla on the streets,and they definitely look much better than the earlier design. Seems like a smaller version of the Camry,if I may say so.

ashthedivx · 19th May 2008, 20:34

Good find, Aravind.. one of my friend was eagerly waiting for the new corolla to be launched. Thanks for sharing....

mezereo · 19th May 2008, 20:37

nice find arvind.
guys, when can we expect this on road

condor · 19th May 2008, 20:45

Finally. After ages of bearing with the now boring design, this is definitely fresh. And hopefully not on the lines of the Camry.

Good scoop aravind. Thats the first sighting of the New Corolla. Looks pretty good to me. If only the lights were more visible.

sajands · 19th May 2008, 21:07
