Toyota is launching their all-important Etios sedan in India today. Although the engine specs and all the other details about the car are already out in the open with some of the auto journalists having tested it already, the most important disclosure is yet to be made – the price. You won’t buy the Etios for Rs 10 lakh, no matter how good it is, will you?
Two of our soldiers, Ajay and Joy are already out there at the Palace Grounds in Bangalore to bring you live updates from the launch ceremony, which is slated to begin at 12:00 noon. Apart from the price of the Etios sedan, we are also expecting some disclosures to be made on the power and torque specifications of the Etios Liva hatchback that will follow the sedan in two months. We’ll bring to you all the important announcements, quotes, pictures, videos and details from the launch as they happen. Stay tuned for lightening fast updates from Motoroids, as always!

The 250 will be competively priced around the 1L mark, instantly wiping out the R15, ZMR and my favorite – the P220 DTS=Fi!

what about the 250?
The GT650R and the ST7 are expected to be priced in the 3.5-4.25-lakh rupee bracket which, given the specs of the two vehicles, is a very competitive price tag.
what will be the price?
