Does anyone know if the 152 series corolla's will be coming out with VSC & TC at all? and when?

Sure it will

Aus is the only place they have taken out VSC/TC on the Auris.

Marketing strategies to make people think they are getting better value after then put them on a year or 2 later but infact we suckers are getting watered down model in the first place

not to mention ancient 4sp automatic vs 6sp CVT-i from japan. Dont understand why we not getting it when our 152 are imported from japan. its directly taken out and replaced with an acient box.

Honda's been using 7sp cvt..

That is incorrect.

...Care to elaborate?

I'll do the elaborating since he won't back it up.

"Stability control is not available for now. Toyota says it will be offered across the entire Corolla range from September 2008, perhaps as part of a MY09 model refresh."

Click here

Please note, some other reports are claiming August. Knowing Toyota being a little later than usual, most probably a little after that.

Hope that clears up a few questions here and there.

May all be correct -- in some cases, August production *may* be "offered" from September ... :)

So what does it actually come with in the braking department currently? ABS...and?....

ABS & EBD

Let's revisit this thread after October... or maybe after that ... or before...

Umm.. look at the date the article was written.....

Can you find me a more recent article?

Articles that suggest VSC/TC will be available in Aug/Sep 08 are all quite dated also

In the Levin SX hatch thread pinzvidz stated - Stability will be available December production onwards. 6 speed gearbox will have revised ratios with the production change as well.

Don't know his source so who knows. Toyota hadn't forseen the demand for VSC when the planning was done 4 years + ago for the 150's series. VSC was supposedly added but delayed because they didn't have it ready/calibrated for aussie roads and didn't want to get it wrong by dropping in european or us version.

Could be marketing but i'm sure it's hurt them a bit when all the competition has had it available on most models in the mean time.

We aussies sure get shafted though. 4sp auto v 6sp in US, cruise control on a stalk v on the steering wheel in US (come on, how hard is that!!!) Now the aussie dollar has taken a dive off a cliff, expect the shafting to continue.....

I doubt they will ever get a revised gearbox.

How often you see Toyota revises their drive train? or any other company?.

I went to the Sydney motor show, they had a ZR on display.The quality, plastic and leather they used are very bad. It feels like a completely different car to the 07 made ones. Have they shift the production to South Africa? It really feels like one.

Been thinking about this lately.

Is it really necessary to have those VSC/TC.

Sure it saves lives but having all these electronic driving aim just seems driving no long driving.

Accelerate too much...you can throttle cut and auto brake.

In the end, it just makes a driver worst in driving.

Just a thought. <_<

Agreed. Drive to the conditions and don't be an idiot. Then you won't need AI to bail you out.

You guys are illuding yourself if you can replicate what VSC can do with one brake pedal. I strongly suggest you guys either take your car to the skid pan and try a car with and without VSC. It's one thing that a person with the greatest amount of driving skill cannot replicate physically.

Sure you can drive slower but if a kid/kangaroo/drunken person walks out in front of you in even the best of conditions, you'll be glad it'd kick in and keep the car going where you want to go provided you're being proactively avoiding the situation with steering inputs.

I suggest you spend the time to watch this video located here to see not just VSC but also additional technology that keeps the car tracking where you steer it no matter what conditions.

And of course most of you hopefully would have seen this one from 5th Gear

pfft they should have offered this over a year ago, with no price increase.

Toyotas competition had this as standard equipment for no price increase over a year ago now, there is no reason other then to save Toyota money and to rip their customers off.

The sad thing is, This is australias No1/ No2 car, so they can get away with anything and people are still happy to pay.

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb
