Yeah, Runx and Allex are now called Auris (and Blade Master G for the sports version). I know of people who have went to Toyota Mauritius, and then to Honda (Man Hin). They were offered drink and welcomed properly at Man Hin as opposed to Beechand. They went to take a Corolla and ended up taking a Civic! It’s another debate that a Civic is superior to a Corolla (double-wishbone rear suspensions, better fuel economy, better driver involvement, better looking to my eyes…).

wai mai moi mo cr ki ban rikon cars c’st seul option ki rester pou ban mauritien ki envi roule 1 loto decent a 1 bon prix. par exemple toyota Runx mem pane vine mauris alors kili ti pou 1 bon option pou ban cki p rod 1 family car ki compact.

the auto gearboxes also pose a problem…finally a point which no one noted and which i heard of very often is that acceuil cot Toyota dan pince. mo ena imper fami kine buy cars within the last 2 yrs and surprisingly , none went for toyotas . beside their models, they told me they didnt like the acceuil over there. one just went up 5 min (in PL) to get the civic instead. anyone experienced something like that?

No I don’t have that information. I have been Googling on this and it seems that a facelift version is due this year.

Shit man! You have it all, nothing can be added to Beechand’s lameness, marketing fails and short-sightedness!! It’s their antique way of running business (in straight line with the owner of 80% of all Vacoas “arcades” – look at the shops’ façades and you’ll get what I mean) which is bringing Toyota’s name to shame locally.
Enn bébéte couma ‘Mark X’ pas lors la-route? Bann family-friendly models couma Corolla Asccent (Axio version hatchback) ou Auris koté…? Faire sagrin, lakoz zot-mem ki bann revendeurs “rikonn” (= mardaye) finn bien implanté!

Corolla remains the most reliable and best selling car in the world.

And that figure includes Corolla Axio, Corolla Altis, Corolla Fielder, Corolla Rumion, Corolla Matrix, Auris, Allex etc.

About Toyota Mauritius, they’ve done such a good thing by introducing Lexus. If I had the money, that’s what I’d have done months earlier!

For me, the Toyota Corolla has the best features, styling and bang for the back sedan.

So sales have grown locally (according to MotorMag). They’re back to No.2 after ABC Motors. I wonder if the fact that they’re offering second hand cards (pre-owned) is helping. Guess what, they had a pre-owned Toyota Rush (small Rav4) on display in the auto show at Les Halles. It’s a pretty small SUV with good Top Gear off-road review. It’s economical with the same NZ engine as the Corolla… But that bad is that they’re still not offering the Axio and selling the older E120 Corolla at exorbitant prices… I’ll go see my dealer rather, afterall, they’ve started offering 1 year warranty, JAAI certificates, etc…

I agree with you concerning the poor marketing/advertising campaign. I know the agency which does it and can only laugh at the stupid adverts…

Maybe Toyota should really think twice before letting some fools direct it’s campaign!
