#13 of 3074 Corolla: by carguy58 Feb 26, 2005 (5:00 pm)
Toyota made statements last year about putting some emotion into their styling in order to gain more younger buyers from now on. I hope the next Corolla looks more sporty than the current model. I like the interior room and the interior materials just not the styling(at least the back of it.)Personally I like the 93-97 and 98-02 Corolla's exterior's better than the new one. Of course the 03+ Corolla's have more interior oom than previous generation Corolla's did so that could have attributed to the way Toyota styled the current Corolla. I'm very confused on Toyota's styling direction of late with the 02 Camry, 03 Corolla and 05 Avalon. With the new Lexus GS Toyota actually took a stab at the styling.

They need to fix that driving postion on the next model. I just bought a xB, but I test drove the Corolla S and XRS.   My current 95 Corolla DX is much more comfortable than the current model. There is no question that its less roomy in the back, but its a great highway car. Actually, since I have had it, its been in 25 states and 5 canadian provinces.   I did drive a 03 LE to Texas and back in 02. I live in NC. It got great gas mileage, but it shook behind tractor trailers, and you never could get that desired comfort in the drivers seat.
#15 of 3074 they could fix by nippononly Feb 27, 2005 (12:56 am)
the Corolla with one simple change: making a telescopic steering wheel standard. Hopefully that will show up as a feature very soon... Replies to this message: heidi1 (Mar 26, 2005 6:13 pm)

Replying to: nippononly (Feb 27, 2005 12:56 am) Hi Just bought the XRS. I love it! The dealer told me the LE sells the most, but they make fewer of the XRS and it sells just as well. I compared it to the Altima 2.5s and I just liked it more. I fear I may have overpaid for it, I mostly bought it because I love how it looks.

that XRS is one sweet little car, congratulations!   That 2ZZ engine is fairly smoggy as engines go these days, and so I fear it will be gone when the new Corolla comes out. Grab 'em while you can, folks!   I do hope they keep the XRS line going for the next gen, maybe by having a bigger engine than the standard Corollas or something.
#18 of 3074 Corolla Wagon or Hatch by 96corolla Apr 07, 2005 (7:02 am)
I'm a big Corolla fan, but I really want a sporty wagon or hatch. I know that is supposed to be where the matrix comes in, but the matrix just doesn't do it for me. It is too high, not sporty enough and is marketed as more of an SUV alternative. I'm looking for sometihng comparable to the Mazda 3 hatch...or a little bigger. Sporty wagons are hot and I think Toyota is missing the boat a little. I love the looks of the 3, but would much rather buy a Toyota. Does anyone know if Toyota has any plans to introduce a Corolla Hatch/Wagon that is NOT the matrix?
#19 of 3074 I kinda doubt it by nippononly Apr 07, 2005 (9:47 am)
they would have to be pretty similar in spec, this new proposed hatch and the existing Matrix. They have Corolla 5-doors in Europe though, so who knows, we might get lucky. Replies to this message: 96corolla (Apr 07, 2005 10:02 am)

Replying to: nippononly (Apr 07, 2005 9:47 am) "We might get lucky"...so this means you would like to see one too? I really think folks are missing the boat on this. Mazda has some nice sporty wagons out now with the 3 and the 6 wagon, but they are NOT Toyota or Honda. I think if Toyota or Honda, with their reputation, hae similar vehicles, they would just be flyiing off the lots. The luxury guys have caught no...BMW has had a nice small wagon for a few years, Volvo has the V50 and the new A3 is SWEEEETTTTT!!!! VW is going to release a new GOLF in the fall that is based on the A3, but the Golf has had reliability problems. Come on Toyota, I know you think Matrix is it, but to me it isn't. No comparison in styling between Matrix and 3.
#21 of 3074 With the XRS by synpthesis Apr 07, 2005 (11:02 pm)
you essentially fly below the radar - you know insurance companies, cops etc. It looks just like any other Corolla on the road and I really like that. I am not sure about how strong the sales are though. I think that Toyota as part of the evolution of things should consider more power, AWD option and cleaning up the engine (LEV to ULEV) Six months plus now and the car works hard, sings well and continues to disappoint the unprepared auto tranny/slushbox drivers.
#22 of 3074 I really hope by nippononly Apr 08, 2005 (7:41 am)
the XRS is selling well enough that Toyota continues it into the next gen. Not only do I like the car, but Toyota could use some encouragement on anything sporty. Replies to this message: alpha01 (Apr 11, 2005 6:22 am)
