Wow, what a disgrace. Supposedly, Toyota took an "extra" year to redesign the Corolla. Sill looks boring to me. And no 2-door coupe?? Heading over later this weekend to get my.....2008 Honda Civic COUPE 2-door EX. If that don't work, then there's always the '08 Ford Focus 2-door COUPE. If that don't work either, there's the '08 Saturn Astra 2-door HATCH. If that don't work, there's the '08 Chevrolet Cobalt 2-door COUPE (and Pontiac G5 coupe). Corolla is not on my list due to lack of a sporty coupe. Toyota is missing a major market here.

Replying to: jaxs1 (Oct 31, 2007 1:18 pm) Corolla/Matrix, same thing to me. And what about this "Blade?" I thought Matrix was going to be called Blade.

Replying to: tdiaz339 (Oct 31, 2007 1:21 pm) I agree - the new Matrix is so evolutionary it really doesn't move the desirability quotient up much. I was getting set to be a little sad that my Matrix becomes the "old" model in a few months, but aftr seeing this I won't be sad. I think mine, purchased with the routine discounts there have been the last two years on Matrix, is a better deal than the new one which will probably sell closer to sticker for a while. The looks are a little better, apart from that what's to like? I am sure it will gain a couple hundred pounds, so with the base engine it will actually be SLOWER while getting worse fuel economy. There's a win-win, huh?!  And the 2.4 only comes with an automatic, so it will probably have roughly the acceleration of the 4-cylinder Camry, a model with the same powertrain. There's a thrill ride. And you still have to go for the 'S' trim to get the full power package? That's weak, and bodes ill for Corolla. But what really stinks is that the XRS used to be a true sport model. With the '09 it will just be the loaded model.

Replying to: cklho818 (Oct 23, 2007 5:11 pm) Are you sure it is ALL NEW? There isn't ONE part in common from the 2008 to the 2009? |

Replying to: jaxs1 (Oct 31, 2007 12:45 pm) But yeah, I wish they could have at least matched the mileage of the current generation Corolla. |
