These photos, showing what looks like the production version of the 2014 Toyota Corolla, are doing the the rounds of the internet, but with no one quoting the source, it’s hard to determine where these were taken.
It may seem odd that we’re giving the new 2014 Toyota Tundra any attention, considering it’s not even officially offered in the Middle East.

Toyota is very proud of the fact that the RAV4 started the “crossover” segment back in 1994, before these jacked-up cars were even known as “crossovers”. It took us the better part of a decade to accept these as legitimate options for consumers, considering their too-tall-to-handle and too-low-to-offroad market positioning, but several of these crossovers have actually moved on to become quite competent in their on-road dynamics, with useful all-weather capability to boot. The RAV4 has always been one of the better options in the market, but the older model had a few shortcomings which the new 2013 model addresses rather well.

After the arrival of Lexus in the UAE and GCC in the early 90’s, the Toyota Crown was slowly phased out of the market. The Japanese automaker’s flagship sedan continues to be a strong player in their local market however, with the new 2013 Toyota Crown making its debut recently.
