Base Innova does comes with Black bumpers but at least the audience for which this car is mainly going to target, unlike Innova, can't say how many of us would actually accept it, and personally, I won't.
Guys, don't worry! Toyota will not give you unpainted bumpers (crossing my fingers). But, if they are targeting the Indigo market, then there is a high possibility.
Yes the pricing will probably be around indigo.
And here is my take.
Base model only in white colour (for taxi operators)
No power windows
No power steering
Black bumpers
AC(for sure)
I dont think Etios will come with black bumpers. Even the LXi variant of DZire come with body coloured bumpers, i dont think Toyota will go that cheap.
I found this ad. on yesterday's Dinamalar newspaper. It tells about how Toyota operates, by understanding road conditions. And also they offer only what we need and use the proper technologies suited for India to ensure Happy experience. And whatever they do is by having customers in mind.
I cant understand whats written out there, but i feel Toyota understands indian conditions quite well which is why many issues like GC problems etc are not there with Toyota.
Say for eg every Honda car (except Jazz) has GC problems(whether its City or Civic), which was never a problem with corolla ever since its launch in India.
I don’t think that September launch date is true at all, because Etios’ production would begin only by December this year. For the time being, Toyota Kirloskar is performing some promotional exercise by driving the Etios all around the country. Currently, It is in Indore. More details can be found here.
