Default 2008 Toyota Corolla

Here is the long-awaited 2008 Toyota Corolla
looks like a mini camry

ive got mixed feelings on it right now











interior looks pretty darn good though eh
similar design as the Auris

ive heard rumours about the new corolla having a hybrid drive train too
not surprised since toyota did announce that they will have a hybrid version of every car in their lineup soon

now if they'd only make an option to give it a pair of *****, it'd be worthy of competing with the civic.

looks nice though

oh one thing i hate about this design is the rear bumper lights
they only sort of work on sunfires
but then sunfires shouldnt be considered as cars but a pile of poop on wheels instead... lol

Those pics were released a while back.

Although that is the "international" Corolla, it is still not confirmed if the U.S. will get the same version.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates the bulging lights.

I dont like the notch they gave it on the front bumper under the Toyota emblem... there is really no need for it down there considering that they put the emblem at the top of the grille.

Yeh, even the article linked to us in the OP says "edited January 19, 2007" LOL

Anyways I think the Camry looks way better than this which is a reversal for me b/ c back in '03 MY when the Corolla came out I thought it looked better than the Camry('02-'06).
