Damn why does Europe get all the good cars? Check out this 1.8 liter supercharged Corolla that will be offered only in Europe. I think there is a market for a Corolla like this.I personally think it's bad ***!!

 

Sweet. Have anymore pics?? I wonder if its AWD?? Looks like it competes with the WRX, EVO's, Clios, and the like over in Europe.

Hey you never know what the next generation Corolla may bring. Maybe we will see a more powerful Corolla XRS in the next coming years to compete with the Si's, WRX, Cobalts, Jettas, SVT and such.

 

Looks like a Matrix with ugly wheels to me

 

This was the only one I found,I'll try to do a search and see how the front looks.

 

The Corolla T-Sport. We had a poor attempt at a high powered Corolla w/the XRS model. Sure it's great, but it's a little too late for it's time in my opinon.

 

but... but... its a corolla

 

Nice. Hopefully the rumor from the Best Car magazine is true about the turbocharged 300hp AWD Corolla WRC to be debuted in summer 2006. That will be really something the Evo, STi and GTi should be very afraid of.

Too bad Toyota is probably becoming too environment-friendly to ever do that again.

 

Toyota has an uncanny ability to make a well balanced car, even if it's high powered. Case in point, the new Avalon, which is somewhere near the top in it's class in power AND fuel economy.

 

looks like a fun car.

 

a new corolla gt-s would change peoples minds real fast if it came back like it was first introduced

 

That would be the perfect car to compete with Honda's new civic si

 

Personally i'd love to be around the water tower at lunchtime and hear" I raced the corolla again, got beat badly."

 

did the corolla used to come in a V6 engine? i seen some previous generations staying LE V6 something like that, if so, why did they ditch the V6, and go with the I-4. could have kept the V6 as an option

 

Corolla never came in a V6 version. The largest displacement the Corolla has ever had to date is 1.8L, in the US at least.

 

For some reason the US versions of most Japanese economy and mid sized sedans are usually the bland and boring versions compared to European models. The Corolla and Avensis are much better looking than the USDM Corolla and Camry. Same is true of Civic and Accord.
Of course Europeans like 5 door hatch models whereas in the US they don't sell. It will be interesting to see if Toyota uses the current style Yaris as the Echo replacement.
