#48 of 3074 multiple dealers by nippononly Apr 30, 2005 (11:45 pm)
within a 50-mile radius of me have been advertising all auto Corolla CEs in stock for $12,9 for months and months now. Those are probably base models without options, but still, the price of a new Corolla is pretty low.   I was thinking - why couldn't the S have the same wheels and tires as the XRS? As for faster engines, the Cobalt S/C is actually a SMALLER engine than the regular one! But the point is well taken. Would be kind of cool if they could squeeze the 2.4 from the Camry under the hood of the LE. Or perhaps just the 148 hp 2.0 the RAV used until 2004? Updated for emissions of course.
#49 of 3074 Emissions by chris65amg May 03, 2005 (3:58 pm)
I don't want to launch an attack on the environment, but a lot of cool engines are blocked from the US for emissions reasons.   The Corolla just tickles me pink because here you have the Civic, Focus, Elantra, Mazda3, Forenza, Aerio, Neon, Sentra, Cobalt, PT, Spectra, Lancer, Reno, and Golf all in the same price range. The Corolla has been criticized by many reviewers for being too boring and too expensive, yet it outsells them all. Yet the Mazda 3, which is the car reviewer's best friend, hasn't (and probably never will) sold as well. The Corolla has a name that Toyota has stuck with since the beginning, and now there are people who will buy a Corolla on name alone. It would be sad if I didn't own one Nah, I bought a Corolla because they look classy. They look good with xenons, I have discovered.   A redesign is welcome for the Corolla. Just don't lose the name, because that's important.

aren't available on Corolla in the U.S.! Where did you see that?
#51 of 3074 My Corolla by chris65amg May 04, 2005 (2:02 pm)
I put xenon headlights on. I found them on EBay. They're the lens type. As well as a lot of other stuff not usually found in a Corolla. I had the exhaust system redone, put a very low profile air intake in, got one of those performance chips, had really good leather put in, put in a navi, replaced the steering wheel. It's my little grand tourer. I think I'll try for heated seats sometime in the future. It gets about 165 hp now and 155 torque.   Mines an 04, I didn't really like the grille on the 05. I was wrestling in my mind over whether to wait for the XRS 05 and then I saw the silly cladding. Replies to this message: toyfan30 (Jun 09, 2005 11:02 am) kirstie_h (Jun 09, 2005 11:04 am)

the very silly cladding is bolt on, bolt off.   I wouldn't mind THAT being optional for '06 on. They make it a package with foglamps and such on the Matrix.
#53 of 3074 How about VSC? by thefaf Jun 07, 2005 (6:29 pm)
I've been wondering why Toyota offers Stability Control only on automatic equipped Corolla's. VSC is the best safety advancement since seat belts. It helps you avoid an accident, instead of helping you survive one. I'm hoping Toyota will let us manual shift types get VSC in the 2006 Corolla and Matrix. Or I could get a Scion xB, (VSC standard)
#54 of 3074 I wouldn't mind by nippononly Jun 07, 2005 (6:44 pm)
VSC being an option on all '06 Corollas, but i don't feel it is that important on a little car with such a low center of gravity.
#55 of 3074 06 changes? by coolguyky7 Jun 07, 2005 (7:22 pm)
How extensive will exterior changes be for the 2006? I know 2006 was supposed to be the year for a mid-cycle refresh, but the 2005 had quite a few changes itself.
#56 of 3074 Refresh? by chris65amg Jun 08, 2005 (2:18 pm)
The Corolla only got some shiny stuff around the grille, some new taillights and a price hike for '05. I just hope that the prices for the Corolla don't go much higher.....
#57 of 3074 I bet by nippononly Jun 08, 2005 (8:45 pm)
the '06 gets a new face that mimics the new Avalon/Camry a bit, but in a smaller version. I am equally sure we will see no powertrain mods, and we will see some content shuffling and a healthy price bump (with more standard equipment). That is what they have done with every other mid-cycle refresh in Corolla history. The exception was that in 2000 they dumped the 3-speed automatic on the lowest trim level, but that was because it was hopelessly outdated, and too cheap for a Corolla in the first place.   One thing they MIGHT do is cancel the XRS if it has been selling horribly, but I sure hope not.
