Honda Civic vs Toyota Innova

[babkalakal]

seeing this race is like seeing the F-150 vs Cyrbertruck tug of war

not an expert, but I always find Toyota's max rpm/power around 3-4k rpm... compared to Honda na around 5.5-6.5k rpm - this can normally be felt when overtaking in local provincial roads. - hence during HS days... mas madaling "paiyakin" ang Toyota

2nd... if you keep on racing both... I don't think the Innova's diesel engine will last as long as the Honda's Petrol engine... pero mauuna sigurong masira yung CVT than the conventional A/T

3rd stopping power... being a racer sa Mindanao and Macapagal YEARSSSSS ago... I'll be more confident stopping on a Civic than an Innova kapag may biglang car na sumulpot sa harap mo.

4th handling... I always prefer to drive a car because of this reason, faster/better cornering

5th... pogi factor... I will always say mas pogi yung car... my dad will say kasya 6 na chicks sa MPV

***
quick question na matagal nang nasa isip ko...

Innova uses a de-tuned 2.8 engine thats the same as the Fortuner.

Can you swap the computer box of the Innova to get the Fortuner's power? - kahit sa sites ng Toyota Malaysia/India/Indonesia wala akong makitang info on this.

do not quote me on this pero i think the innova is not detuned at all. siguro manufacturing tolerances from engine to engine pwede but sa brochure lang ata sila nagkaiba?

Magparemap ka na lang or unichip.

Innova na remapped gets >200whp sa dyno

Going back to topic, the new Innova is not your usual soccer mom vehicle. I guess Toyota decided to put the bigger 2.8L engine on it as it is expected to be used to haul people and cargo.

This is to the dismay of new Fort owners who just have to deal with the lower output 2.4L engine in exchange for the muscular looks and style. For the TOTL Fort lang available yung 2.8L engine.

dito ako nagtataka sa mga marketing. I get it that most of us here sa tsikot are in a minority wherein manuals still have a place and more power equals more better. sa ibang bansa mayroon naman 2.4 na innova. I would think they would sell a lot more if they put in the 2gd and the innova will still have plenty of power. Majority of buyers would probably gravitate towards that even if sold side by side with the 2.8.

Depends on the pricing.

Knowing toyota, if they decide to offer the 2.4 liter engine, they will price it at the current rate of the 2.8 liter and jump the prices of the 2.8 somewhere near the vicinity of the mid range fort and the 2.8 TOTL option.

unless word gets around that the 2.4 is a weakling (is it? dunno...),
at the right price, the 2.4 will probably outsell the 2.8.

The 2.4L is good enough for the heavier Fort so it would do for the Innova. The older 2.5L worked well despite being not as potent as the newer engines.

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.
