Honda Civic vs Toyota Innova

[dr. d]

My guess with the decision is that Innova will sell, regardless if with a 2.4 or 2.8 engine. However, from a parts standpoint, only the Fortuner TOTL would have the 2.8L in the 4x4 trim which would be a pain in inventory management with slow moving parts, given that there is low demand for the TOTL Fortuner vs the base and mid trims that use the 2.4L.

I think they chose the 2.8L for the Innova for that and axed an option for the 2.4L so that buyers would have no choice if they want an Innova. This also ensures that 2.8L parts won't stay stuck in the warehouse.

And say, the current 2.8L stays and they did launch a 2.4L Innova. I'd assume they place that as a possible "lower" base trim since the current 2.8 lineup exists. That would lower its price and place it closer to the mid trim of the Rush giving potential buyers too many options.

I think giving too many options is actually a bad thing. Keep it as simple as you can so buyers can decide easier and it also helps Toyota Phils bottom line. =)

My two cents.
