Previously I was comparing GLI & 2.0 D (almost decided on 2.0D), but now Liana LXI (power packed model, alloy rims, ABS, etc.) has also entered into the equation as Liana LXI CNG has been launched with price tag of Rs. 905,000/= with next day delivery. Furthermore, news is that Government has asked Toyota Indus to stop production of 2.0D and this has badly effected the diesel car market. Secondly corolla will be changing shape (bumpers and lights for the time being) again next year (2007).
I used the following parameters to decide on the car:
Shape (looks) Corolla – 9, Liana – 5
Engine GLI - 7, 2.0D - 9, Liana – 5
Re-sale GLI – 8, 2.0D – 7, Liana – 5
Fuel Economy GLI – 6, 2.0D -9, Liana – 9
Power Pack GLI -7, 2.0D-4, Liana – 9
Extra Cost (for fog lights, alloy rims, powerpack for 2.0D, CNG for GLI) to make all models compatible to some extent GLI – 5, 2.0D 4, Liana – 10
7 Delivery Time GLI – 5, 2.0D 8, Liana – 10
Total GLI - 37, 2.0D-50 and Liana - 53 (out of 70)
% GLI - 67%, 2.0d -71% and Liana – 76%
Surprisingly Liana is wining or am I doing something wrong, please help!!!
