Toyota: bring Diesel Corolla back to the Philippines

10 years ago, when the first Corolla Altis was released, it had the 2C Diesel engine phased out. Meanwhile, in many other markets there are still Diesels available for the Corolla. In Europe, the D4-D series with direct injection, turbocharging and intercooler made its way, while the old 2C prechamber, naturally-aspirated and full-mechanical design remained on less emissions-enforced countries. Currently, in India the Corolla is fitted with the 1.4 D4-D while in Pakistan the 2C is still the only Diesel available. In the Philippines, the D4-D can be perceived as expensive, thus unattractive, while the 2C is still beloved by many owners and commercial operators. There are still many customers who would consider to get a new Corolla if there was still Diesel engine available. No wonder I've seen Hyundai i30 and Ford Focus in considerable numbers.
