Replying to: mackabee (Oct 31, 2007 4:38 pm) Only the 2.4 engine on the XRS. The Standard, LE and XLE models will be equipped with an all-new 1.8-liter Dual VVT-i engine producing 132 Hp and 128 lb-ft of torque. The engine can be matted either to a five-speed manual or four-speed auto gearbox. http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2007/10/2009-toyota-corolla-sedan-unveiled-at.html Embarrassing. More embarrassing to come out with a new model compact sedan with lower EPA estimates than the old vehicle it's replacing.

Doesn't look ALL that different from the mini-Camry/maxi-Yaris we all expected. And that's all the good, as far as I can see. I dunno how a Corolla XRS with 158 hp is going to go head to head with the racy chassis and 200 hp of the Civic SI (not to mention the Sentra SE-R and Spec V), if they are expected to be priced the same. This info makes it VERY hard to understand what they took an extra year for. Once the '09 hits and starts to sell without the routine $2000-3000 discounts of the current model, look for Civic sales to bump back up.

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=123245 The 10th-generation Corolla doesn't look like a radical departure from its predecessor. But Toyota nevertheless has made some substantial improvements in content, fuel economy, safety, and passenger and luggage space. Exactly how was fuel economy substantially improved again?

Replying to: nippononly (Oct 31, 2007 5:21 pm) Simple: dollars (or yen). Why come out with a new design when the old one is selling well?

Replying to: jaxs1 (Oct 31, 2007 5:15 pm) "Embarrassing." Dude, get a grip! You think Toyota doesn't know what they're doing? They put this Corolla in other markets, Europe, Australia, etc., leave it out there for a couple of years and bugs if any are worked out before they drop it on us and China. Brilliant. There is nothing embarrassing about the EPA estimates. The new Corolla is rated under the new EPA estimates, as are all the current 08 models. Mackabee |
