These pics have been posted to death, but just for good measure that is NOT the next-gen USDM Corolla.

 

Really?

Then that does sadden me.

 

new engine seems nice 7/8ths of its torque from 2000-6000 rpm

 

No. Thats what the magazines WANT you to think... the mass populace doesnt care. They want something that isn't ugly, something reliable, good on gas, and inexpensive.

No again, unless this was meant to be a joke This is the average commuter we are talking about. Be happy that you are in a minority of auto enthusiasts. Most people just don't care; thats the reality of it. It is also why so many of us complain about most of these stupid magazines that try to judge everything by how well it can run on a road course, or how many mph it runs in the slalom.

 

Love the interior. It's finally stylish but the exterior does have some Avalon resemblance (the front end).

 

know what that is??

*in his best Bill Cosby voice* that's a j, e, double t, a!

Bingo, and clearly 90% of the posters in this thread think Motor Trend is the bible
Saying a Civic is Sportier than a Corolla is like saying a beer with 5% alcohol is stronger than one with 4%

 

i dont think this is coming to the u.s.

this is presently sold in world markets including china...basically its a refreshened current gen corolla...

 

I'm sorry, what?

Our 2003 Corolla was an Americanized Asian Corolla that's been around since 2000. I think after 7 years, the world deserves a new Corolla.

 

tell me that ugly boring corolla isnt the car they re-designed after seeing the new civic?

 

Have you driven a Corolla and Civic?

 

Totally a joke

 

Well , whatever it is, it lookers bigger and roomier.
Wheels are now 5 lugs instead of 4 also?

 

Well, I totally missed this....You be the Judge.



OR

 

I've driven both. Yes they're both economic cars, but the Civic does handles better and it is more fun to drive. Even my buddy's 1993 honda accord coupe sounds better and feels better around turns.

I wouldn't buy a corolla to toss around, but i would buy a civic to do so.
