Rolla 152 series VSC/TC

well clearly the customers see value in the car other than VSC/TC

[whyme]

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.

Totally agreed with you.

'well clearly the customers see value in the car other than VSC/TC'

You have to say this because your Corolla doesnt have VSC/TC :)

Sure Corolla is a good car,cheap to run, have good resale value but I wouldnt buy one without VSC/TC for now.

It's here finally?? Maybe.

Starting jan 09.

If it is, the price increase of 750 wasn't too unreasonable.

Unfortunately no sign of it yet in the Corolla specifications on the Toyota Website

COROLLA GAINS VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC) FOR INCREASED SAFETY

Toyota Australia's best-selling car is now safer, with Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Traction Control (TRC) available across the range.

From today VSC and TRC are standard on Corolla Conquest hatch and sedan, Levin ZR hatch and Ultima sedan.

The enhanced passive safety package is included at no extra cost on these models.

VSC and TRC are optional on Corolla Ascent hatch and sedan, and Levin SX hatch, at $1500.

The safety pack also includes front-side and full curtain shield, and driver's knee airbag.

VSC helps maintain vehicle stability during cornering, and TRC helps optimise traction when accelerating on slippery surfaces.

Australia is among only a handful of markets in the world to offer Corolla with a 1.8-litre dual VVT-i engine.

"The VSC system for our 1.8-litre Corolla required special calibration for the unique engine/road surface combination in Australia," said senior executive director sales and marketing David Buttner.

"Engineering resources from Japan became available in time for 2009 Corolla to benefit from VSC," he said.

"The addition of VSC and TRC makes Toyota's best-selling passenger car a significantly safer vehicle for drivers and others on the road."

Toyota Corolla has proven its appeal by ending the sales year as Australia's second most in-demand vehicle.
