Replying to: mackabee (Nov 02, 2007 8:34 am) http://automobiles.honda.com/civic-sedan/specifications.aspx That means, the only difference between the 1.8L is the weaker Corolla engine. As for the XRS, yeah perhaps in the quarter mile, it might get a little jump, but after that, the Si with a 197hp engine is going to blow away the 158hp engine in the XRS. I think 158 is a joke for an upgraded engine. That's only 18hp more than a standard Civic and it's estimated to get far worse gas mileage. Again, Toyota had the time to build a car that would have better specs than a car Honda released two years ago and it chose to just put very weak engines in them. |

Replying to: jet10000 (Nov 02, 2007 1:28 pm) Yep you are right and since they had that time I guess you can conclude the they did that intentionally. Now the isssue is to figure out 'Why' they did that intentionally. These things aren't done at random or by mistake...'Oops Hey did anyone update the engine?' If you haven;'t driven the new 1.8L it's much much nicer than the outgoing 1.8L. The 2.4l will just be a big ol motor in a small vehicle. My guess is that they will sell three of them. The other 449.997 sales will be the 1.8L. Ok a slight exageration.

Replying to: kdhspyder (Nov 02, 2007 4:07 pm) Maybe it's a case of once burned, twice shy. Or in the case of Toyota lately, thrice burned, four, five times burned? They are taking baby steps with new models for a while, after the Camry burps and the Tundra problems. They delayed the new HL a little bit, and it seems that new model has gotten off to a solid start, so hopefully they are on the right track with the baby steps thing. But who would have thought in 1997 that 10 years later Toyota would have to be taking baby steps to deliver new products without glitches. I bet they will sell a few more than just 3 of the 2.4L Corollas. As long as the least expensive 2.4L models stay under $20K sticker, which I expect they will manage to do.

Replying to: nippononly (Nov 02, 2007 7:24 pm) Yes I assume that they probably will start the 2.4L Corolla's under $20K also. So that brings up this comparo.. Name the other vehicle. ...

Replying to: jaxs1 (Nov 02, 2007 8:07 am) OTOH... A good find from another site. Here is the 2009 Corolla presented on the Canadian website, these pics are not on the US website. Note the 6th pic from the left 2009 Corolla
