2008 2009 Toyota Corolla sedan

What we have here is our research into the next-generation Toyota Corolla. The current version has been chugging along for six years now, when the standard shelf-life for each Corolla version is usually four years. The current version is seriously outdated, but other markets already have new versions. In fact, Japan and Europe got two different versions.

The Europeans already got the best versions for the 2007 model year. They get a sedan called, what else, the Corolla, as well as a sporting hatchback called the Auris, and a wagon called the Corolla Verso.

The Toyota Auris drops the Corolla name and has sportier suspension tuning.

The Toyota Corolla Verso has a taller roof and is sort of a micro minivan rather than a wagon.

The Japanese get their own version of the Corolla. It has more sedate styling, but packs much more features, such as a rear-view camera, a self-parking system, radar cruise control and a pre-safe computer system, all lifted from the Lexus LS460. The sedan is called the Corolla Axio.

The Japanese also get a standard wagon version instead of a van, calling it the Corolla Fielder.

The Japanese also get the Auris hatchback as well as a Blade variant with a bigger engine, but the Chinese get the European Corolla version. All sedan versions share the same interior. The Americans will get yet another version of the sedan, and possibly the Toyota Blade, to be sold as the Matrix.

Coming down to engine choices, the European versions get some diesel four-cylinders with manual, while the Japanese versions get a 110 hp 1.5-litre and a 136 hp 1.8-litre, both four-cylinder and both with CVT automatics. The Chinese get a six-speed manual. The Japanese Blade actually has the 160 hp 2.4-litre four from the Camry, so it is by far the best version.

The sedan interior is conservative but stylish, with optional fake aluminium or fake wood trim.

So what will the Middle East get? We believe the European styling might make actually it here, but with the Japanese 1.5-litre and 1.8-litre engine choices, with a five-speed or six-speed manual, and an automatic with hopefully at least five-speeds, if not the CVT automatics. The gadgets in the Japanese models will definitely not make it here, and neither will the hatchback and wagon versions. But then they might be built in Thailand. There is a possibility though that the Japanese styling might come here, in which case we will get sedan and wagon variants, but we will also get true Japanese-built Corollas again.

    bring a supercharged corolla to the us! aka corolla compressor. i love my 2006 le! its my third my frist was a 1990, then i had a 2001. how many cars do you know of that you can put in reverse when going forward at 50mph and not kill the car. plus it had over 200k on it! yo cool boy: corollas sell much better than civics even after the civic was redone. reason: civics are viewed as chic cars. go to a honda page.

    :grin: Loving my 2006 used honda civic EX 4 door. Only wished that I could have had a chance to test drive them side by side. My purchase may have been different. Both are very good cars - even the outdated version of the corolla feels comfortable - just like your favorite pair of jeans.

    Used 06 honda replaced wrecked new o6 civic that some idiot - driving too fast gave honda the chance to show me all about the side curtin, side airbag, and the front airbag.

    Those dissing the Corolla, you should go buy a Civic and it’ll drain your money with the expensive repairs and so so reliability. A 20,000 dollars Civic DX? Very expensive and a Corolla is 16,000 dollars and a better car.

    What are you guys looking for? I am looking for a car that is most reliable and dependable, and i believe that toyota offers it beyond competition. who cares about a flashy car with a big horsepower you can’t trust. By the way, check the statistics of car sales and you would realise, toyota, especially the corolla is outselling its competitors with huge marginal differences. Why? because toyota is made for those who believe in total quality and not flashy designs or big horsepower, otherwise go get a BMW. Toyota has proved to have a more superior R&D than its competitors, because it knows exactly what the majority is looking for. I drive a 2004 toyota corolla and the performance is great. I can’t imagine driving any other car, except a mercesdes. Bravo Toyota!

    i like corolla and enjoy to drive from the last 10 years. presently i have 2005 corolla G, when i saw Corolla Axio lexul, that will really hit the market. One question is arising in my mind that why Japan create a difference in domestic model and exported model

    I’m just about to finalize (on Jan 05, 2008) my latest purchase of our 4th Corolla and decided to drop by to check the styling of the next generation. I’m glad I did because I think I prefer the current version (I’m in Canada and the next version debuts for the 2009 model year).

    While it’s true the Corolla may not have forward-looking exterior nor interior styling as the Civic does, it’s worth noting that each time I compare these two cars side by side, I have chosen the Corolla (our first was a 1986 - it’s still running strong and never had any problems aside from regular wear and tear). Two big reasons are the Civic’s seating position (too low and hard to see ahead even though I’m 5′9″) and the seat’s excessive protruding lumbar support, which forces my back to arch forward too much when my butt is pushed back against the seat. You would have to slouch just a bit in order not to be pressed forward by the lumbar.

    Further, the current generation of the Civic uses a digital speedometer. During hard acceleration, the digits change so fast that they begin to run together, so that all you see is 88 km/hr until you begin to settle onto a steady speed. Auto journalists have long ago decided for this and other reasons that digital speedometers do not work, but Honda engineers decided to employ them anyway. In an analog unit, you may not be able to read your speed exactly during hard acceleration, but at least you can get a very good idea of your speed simply by judging how fast your nedle is rotating on the speed dial.

    If the seating and the speedometer do not bother you, and logevity is not a huge concern, I would choose the Civic for its engine responsiveness. Some of the other contributors above are right in saying this car is suited more to someone who is watching their dollars. I don’t have a lot of money but our Corollas have never costed us more than $100 per year (on average) to keep in excellent running shape. We use the cars daily. Two oil changes and two tune-ups a year is all it needs. To me, that’s what Toyota reliability is all about. :cool:

    :smile: There are still rumours about launching of new model, no sound information. Indus Motor should feel little bit responsible and give at least tentaive dates of launching new model. Secondly Indus Motor shall also try to improve the standards, it is really funny to hear XLI and GLI, with mini differneces. Standard car shall be power pack and shall not be made of third class material. It shall have company fitted CNG . If someone is to be blamed bcoz of bad qaulity of car, it is corrupt people of Indus Motors, no one else. They once take so much money for car, shall give some material as well. The only thing they should keep in mind is that they also are answerable to God, or Indus Motor Company has some special previliges there

    If your new corolla is not coming with a drastic change from outside from the earlier shape then it should be with a very change and new interior.
