I dont think new Corolla will be anywhere as revolutionary as Toyota US exec want us to think... we will be lucky if it is as stylish as Auris, and Auris isnt thats stlyish... it is nice and nicer than any Corolla ever was, but it is not ground breaking, it is just a better Corolla.

p.s. Just to clarify - i dont think Corolla or Camry can ever be groundbreaking cars... maybe if they made Corolla WRC out of it and sold it to us, then you could call it that... but as it is, it is safe choice for C segment sedan, end of story. You dont radically change from grounds up car that sells the best in the world.

Looks very promising, but I'm reserving my final judgment until I sit in one and see how they hold up. The Avalon was a home run, the Camry was a single.

Really hope details like the feel of the HVAC controls, carpetting and HEADLINER are all up to par. The competition in this class isn't messing around anymore.

I don't think it's going to look like the Toyota Auris, you can see the chrome Camry grille clearly.





Even the tail light cutouts match the shape of the Camry's tail lights.





It's going to be an 80% Camry.

feel of hvac controls in corolla class? This isnt Avalon. It seems like they spiced up Auris models from Japan with some chrome and thats what you will get :-).

Nicer than before but not Avalon for $16k
