What makes you think that? I respect your opinion, but you have to prove it. What does the Corolla have that the Civic does not, besides the Toyota badge?

Corolla Standards by DKKING by mkoppuzha

Here is what I think is Fair:
Corolla CE is fair where it is right now.
S should have Power Windows and Door Locks, ABS and Cruise Standard
LE shoule have the 'S' Standards and Alloy Wheels Standard
XRS- i don't care. LoL
This is what i think is where the compact car arena should be at in terms of what should be standard on all cars.

the power windows and locks, since they wind up equipping every car built with them anyway, and make you pay extra for the "package" or "option".
 
They do the same thing with the S and alloy wheels - every car built has the "sport package" that includes alloys - they should make alloys standard. Knowing Toyota a little, I think this one has little chance of happening. Not while we still have two trim levels of Camry with wheel covers.
 
The ABS they should do and I think it has 50/50 odds - Civic will do this for the next gen, and Toyota is going through this big safety campaign right now, so yeah, 50/50. If they do it, I bet it will be across the line, not excluding the CE.

Toyota has ABS standard across the line of the Camry, even the lowly Standard and LE editions.

yeah, exactly, which makes it that much more likely that the Corolla will have it standard soon.

I just read that the 2006 Honda Civic will get a optional navigation system, is there any chance the 2006 Corolla could get one ?

Navi? by chris65amg

I bet sometime in the future. I had a navi installed in my Corolla aftermarket, and I just wish that they had made it a factory option. I think that Toyota should also lift a Camry 2.4L and put it into the LE sedan so that it could compete more upmarket with the Jetta and these higher powered Cobalts. Also, the XRS should continue, as it is a pleasant conjunction of good performance and a pretty good price tag. But, I am forced to think that the cladding on the XRS looks a little... immature? (Ah, i'm getting old). So I think that the lineup should look like this....
 
CE- maybe add power locks as standard. Otherwise, keep it the same. Moving the price up would make it too expensive. It's already among the more expensive non-Jetta compacts.
 
S- Er.... add locks/windows as standard equipment. Maybe include 2.4L as option.
 
LE- 2.4L engine and auto standard. Also power locks, windows, possibly 4 way power seat.... navi option would be nice, leather still an option,
 
XRS- maybe try to tune the engine for a little more power.. And maybe 5-10 more torque.
 
The best thing about a 2.4L engine option would be that the Corolla would be able to whip its clone.... i mean, its to be fellow pseudo expensive compact car, the Jetta. (The 0-60, 0-100 and slalom speeds for the Corolla and newest Jetta are almost exactly the same, and the Corolla has 130 hp)
