We think the latest Toyota Corolla Altis is a looker but in Europe, things are looking a little sharper for the world’s best-selling car. Following the success of the GR Sport versions of the Corolla hatchback and Touring Sports station wagon in Europe, the Corolla sedan is the next-in-line. Inspired by Toyota’s performance-oriented GR models, the GR Sport Corolla sedan gets piano black trims instead of chrome around the exterior like the front grille, door mirrors, and side sills.

Toyota Harrier has been in high demand since its introduction in Malaysia in January this year. Up to now, UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has delivered over 500 units to customers throughout Malaysia, but the need is still very high and the waiting period has reportedly risen to over a year according to sources familiar with the matter.
