They are indeed wheel caps. You can see the black steel rim clearly in the snaps.

That pic looks photoshopped. IT's the corolla altis bumper on the innova.

not all all...they are original pics....they look like this because of the heavy use of scotch tape to disguise. i am sure when the original comes out you can verify the same.

Actually I was talking about the black innova pic not the corolla's pics.

But Akshay just clarified that it wasn't a PS but the real thing. It looks more ugly if you ask me.

I still say they slapped the corolla's bumper on the innova. The creases, airdams, foglights everything is exaclty the same between the altis and this.

i do not know, if this is a stupid thought?
why did toyota plan a preview of corolla altis, without revealing the prices? is it a normal thing to happen? i do not remember any other car in recent times to go through these things? was it to discover the pricing that would be acceptable to the buyers? sorry for my ignorance

I was told yesterday by a dealer that they will also give the exact prices on 30th and 31. As I have already visited the preview on the 24th, I asked whats the use of coming to the preview again. Toyota had made people wait so many years, then now I don't feel any hurry to go and buy it. I can wait easily for another 1 month and let them sattle first.

I dont have the money to buy a corolla. Not yet but opinions are for free so here is mine. It may have a heart of gold but its trapped in an unattractive obese body. And if looks could kill, this one won't even sting! Whats wrong with designing a VFM car with decent performance that also looks good!! i understand that looks is a very subjective issue so what i said is purely my opinion.

Its a good way to gauge the interest level and what they would be willing to pay - some numbers must have been thrown around to see people's reactions, and if they express eagerness, then they sort of know they have their pricing right or go back to the drawing board.
