SRS (Service Road Series)
AHH Yes the forever boring and uninteresting Service Road Series. Not only does the series not offer beautiful views and charming vistas, it will make your hip waders wish that you wore your chest waders. Cache containers vary in shapes and sizes. Some winter friendly some not. Some real easy, some may be head scratchers. Since this is a road series, I thought I would showcase cars. Not just any cars, but cars that I owned and drove. The odd puzzle would be cars that I would own depending on the size of the lottery win. Please enjoy, cache responsibly and above all, have fun.
In August 2000, the E120 ninth-generation Corolla was introduced in Japan, with edgier styling and more technology to bring the nameplate into the 21st century. This version was sold in Japan, Australasia, Europe and the Middle East.
In mid-2001, the E120 Corolla Altis was released. It had a refreshed look and was slightly longer and wider than the E120 for other markets, but with similar body panels and interior. The Altis was sold in Southeast Asia, India, and Taiwan. India received a de-tuned version of the 1ZZ-FE and was comparatively slower than its rivals.
The North American release was delayed until March 2002 (for the 2003 model year). The E130 was sold in North America from 2003 to 2008. It had similar look to the Corolla Altis sold in Southeast Asia. The E120 continued in parallel in separate markets to the E130.
The station wagon model is called the Corolla Fielder in Japan. Production in Japan ended in January 2007 (for Corolla Runx and Allex),but production in North America continued until October 2007.
A good solide car. Traded it in for our next vehicle......
