There were 3 points made in this (old) article that I think may be incorrect:
 
* "Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) with Traction Control (TRAC) is a new feature" for 2009. I thought VSC was available on the previous-gen Corolla?
 
* "A new 158-horsepower DOHC 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is available for the 2009 model." Isn't the 2.4L engine carryover from the Camry et. al.?
 
* "All-new 2009 Toyota Corolla and Matrix will be the first Toyota brand vehicles to offer XM Radio as a factory-equipped feature." Really? Other Toyotas e.g. Avalon, Sienna, Camry didn't offer XM radio before the Corolla did? I find it hard to believe Toyota would be so late to the game with XM radio.

On the high grade matrix and corolla xm radio is standard, all other trims come with the satellite antenna as standard equipment.
Yes, the 2.4l engine is the Camry's but it's new to the Corolla.
VSC and leather were available in the last generation. Trying to find one was another story.

VSC is a new standard feature for the XRS. It was optional on all 2008s.
XM radio is a new factory installed feature on Corollas with JBL stereo. On other Toyotas, XM is dealer installed.

Yes, I knew VSC was standard on the XRS. The article said a "new feature", not a "new standard feature." Like that "new" 2.4L engine I guess.
 
I am really surprised there was no Toyota before the 2009 Corolla to offer factory XM radio.

Maybe they were placating dealerships that enjoyed the revenue they received charging a premium price to install XM.

Its kinda funny because about 1year ago (Message 831), I predicted Toyota would use the 2.4. At first, I was saying turbo... Then just say naturally aspirated. OMG it came true(not the 200hp part... and i'm unsure of the sport suspension). Either Toyota "reads" this or I'm just good at guessing...

You're good at guessing would be my first choice.

OEM TIRES FOR COROLLA 2009 by bob191
Mar 23, 2008 (10:08 am)

I purchased Corolla S 2009 and while waiting for the delivery (vehicle was ordered from the factory), I found out that the OEM tires BRIDGESTONE TURANSA EL 400 according to tire rack survey wearing out at 15 000 miles. The comfort and noise is unbearable and tire perfomance ratings in wet, dry and winter condition is poor.
I would like to get BRIDGESTONE TURANSA SERENITY OR MICHELIN HARMONY and would like to know if it is possible to negotiate this change with the dealership after the Purchase Agreement was sign. I don't mind to pay the difference in price. Is it possible to do it? Does anybody has experience in tnis matter? I will appreciate any advice.

Bring it up to the sales manager or general manager. They might be willing to work something out. Just a little secret for you,..(all new cars are ordered from the factory..)

Thanks for the advice. How about the legal procedure. If the sales manager will not be cooperative, can I refuse to take the vehicle with junky Turanza EL 400.
