Interior Pictures of the 2009 Toyota Corolla

The 2009 10th generation Toyota Corolla in India is headed towards India and will be probabaly be available towards the ends of the year.
The existing 9th generation Corolla was launched in 2003 and has now started loosing it out to the market leader Civic and the Skoda. The over all design looks fresh and contemporary. The new Corolla is slightly shorter and wider as compared to the 9th genration Corolla, giving it more sporty, stable and spacious feel.
The interior of the all New Corolla appear to be a lot more classier, plush with modern design and flowing curves.

I would say bring it on soon, till then Civic is my favorite.

Bajaj ordered to pay for false mileage claims:

Auto giant Bajaj Auto has landed in trouble for its "misleading and deceptive" ads as a consumer court has asked it to compensate a scooter owner whose four-stroke scooter gave him an average of 34 km a litre as compared to the company's claims of 74 km a litre.
Holding the auto-major guilty of causing "mental agony and harassment," Justice Kapoor directed the company to pay Rs 15,000 to city resident Karan Pal Singh, the owner of the scooter.

I wonder if anyone has any complaints about XCD not delivering 109 kmpl. Or does it?
