Replying to: backy (Mar 17, 2008 7:46 am) Seems to me it's a bit early to try to compare the sales, and I'm not sure what point that would make anyway. The 09 has just hit the streets and the 08 was the last of its generation. It's two or so months into the sales year of the new generation. I can't see how it matters how those sales compare to the last year of the old one. Let it go. TO ALL: It is past time to drop the petty bickering in here and move on. Now, please. |

Replying to: backy (Mar 17, 2008 7:46 am) Actually, I doubt very much that the typical Corolla buyers read any of the "enthusiast" mags like CarandDriver, or Motor Trend etc. AND if they watched the super bowl they probably were too excited about the game then the commercial. And to answer your question since spidey has not piped in, it's way too early to compare. We are just getting inventory in. We now have 10 Corollas on the lot. 6 came in today. Once we have 100 or 200 hundred on the lot as we've had with the past generation then we will know. Mack

Replying to: mackabee (Mar 17, 2008 6:17 pm) P.S. In addition to TV ads and magazine ads and Internet ads, I've seen billboards in some cities (I travel a lot). But maybe the Corolla ad campaign isn't fully ramped up yet. |

I predict by April or May we will be able to gauge more accurately how this will sell. On a different note, I parked an white S in between the two Camrys in the Camry line and it's amazing how it looks like the SE Camry. People not familiar with the new Corolla could easily mistake it for a Camry. I also drove it for a few minutes and did my usual test of the VSC on a cul-de-sac with no traffic. I just turn the wheel and start doing donuts with the pedal to the metal. The VSC light flashes rapidly and the beep sings loudly too! Works as advertised. You should see some of my clients face when I do this. I do tell them in advance so that they don't soil their pants. It's a lot of fun and it shows the customer the safety of this feature. Mack  |

Replying to: mackabee (Mar 17, 2008 6:19 pm) Yes inventory is just beginning to ramp up. We've got 10 'in stock' of which 3 are in the process of being delivered. 40+ in the near future pipeline. This is a normal suppy IMO. Mack?

I tested an '09 Corolla S model...the machine would be perfect except for one thing...I found the steering numb, with NO feedback...I wonder if any of you have felt the same sensation upon either test driving or owning this vehicle. It was quite an unpleasant surprise. I don't expect the Corolla to have the sharpest steering, but other machines in this category seem to have more feel to them, as the Mazda3 will attest. What's happened? Toyota didn't dial in enough feel in their electric power steering...not good, IMHO.  It's a pity too, because the Corolla is NOT a bad vehicle in other respects, speaking for myself. Peace!<-AladdinSane-<- -
