I think TMS USA is sandbagging the debut. I'd put a small wager that the top of the line XLE has it all...for just under $25000.
 
On the US website there is a pic of the XLE interior but taken from just the right angle that the steering wheel hides the 'Power' button. I think that there will an XLE trim and then an upgrade package to the XLE that adds Auto Climate and SKS, then another option ( NV ) that adds Navi, then another ( EJ ) that adds the JBL + BT.

It seems really odd that they would hide that when they are not hiding navi and bluetooth. They almost always show pictures with every available option.
It would also be strange if they offered all that and not offer leather on the XLE. It looks like only the XRS has leather.

Name the other vehicle.
... Vehicle 'A" vs 09 Corolla

 
Uh let me guess! I believe Vehicle 'A' is either a Cadillac CTS or a Hummer H3.

Like the new Highlander, another disaster redesign. The only way they can sell this is to continue offering rebates.
 
The new design is FANTASTIC! The only nitpicking I have is that it took too long, need 5 speed automatic i/o 4 speed, and I prefer Sirius to XM.
 
Toyota has continued it's long history of improving an already good thing with the new Corolla design.
 
It will continue to be a sales hit.

The all-new 2009 Corolla, which Toyota Motor Corp. says will go on sale in the U.S. in late February, weighs about 140 pounds more than the 2008 model, adds 2 inches to its waistline and has six more horses under the hood, according to engineers. But it will show little to no improvement in fuel economy, and maybe even a small drop for some versions of the car.

It might as well be. I've yet to see a Corolla with VSC since this option was "available". Our distributor has never sent our store one with it and I don't recall seen one on allocations to other dealers. A few years back I did see a Corolla with the leather package going to a dealer in Maryland. My guess it was a special order. I don't expect to see very many XLE's with leather or XRS with leather either.

Not competitive in what way? Doesn't Toyota outsell Honda and Nissan combined? Camry outsells Accord and Altima, Heck I believe even the Corolla outsells the Altima, Corolla has been outselling the Civic the last three years. So where do you get this "not competitive" stuff?

no one has said anything about the lack of body side moldings. The folks at the Camry and Avalon forums went apes**t when these became options.

Why are you surprised about something that's no surprise? Just more de-contenting by Toyota. Take something off, then put it back on--the options list or dealer add-on list. To be fair, this is not just Toyota; others are doing this too. The side moldings add cost and weight. Besides, Toyota doesn't have to pay to fix the door dings.
