More (Closeup) pics of the upcoming Malaysian 2014 Toyota Corolla Altis -1.8E and 2.0G

The all-new 2014 Toyota Altis has just been launched over in Thailand. According to my sources it should be  launched sometime soon. The latest would be sometime February.The earliest, can't say, as the Chinese New Year is fast approaching and it is usually a long holiday for most businesses here in Malaysia. These are more exclusive photos of the actual cars instead of media photos or taken from some sales website.

The pictures show close-up shots of the meter cluster, navigation, engine bay and navigation systems of a bodykit cladded Altis 1.8E and an Altis  2.0G. First up is the Altis 1.8E. If you've seen the earlier pictures here, you'd know that this are more of the same, You see the optional Navigation/Entertainment system, 205/55/16 unknown brand tyres used. The 'source' said Indonesian Achilles. I can't confirm as yet. (Not any 'branded stuff here. Hmmm....). At least the 1.8E gets a leather wrapped steering wheel too.



The 2.0G is shown below with its engine bay open, a meter cluster with a computer display instead of just meters like the 1.8E and shod with Michelin Pilot Sports on 17 inch wheels (up an inch over the 1.8). According to the source, this is the demo unit only. Customers would get the same not-so-branded tyres. Sigh. Whatever. No one corners fast in an Toyota Corolla. Unless they're forced to. Unless their parents bought one for them.  Unless they just stole the car and  robbed a bank. Aside from the reasons given, no one drives fast in an Altis.I can't say with a Toyota as there are some Vios drivers out there who think they're driving a 'fast car'. Stupid people. Anyway, just enjoy the pictures.
