As many of us would like the new Corolla to arrive (in which hopefully it arrives early '08 as a MY'09), it's still selling like hotcakes.
Just this year alone, Toyota has sold 165k Corollas in five months!
Compare that to only 40k Hyundai Elantras, or 51k Mazda3, or 137k Honda Civics. And the Corolla is the oldest of the bunch!!!

Dunno about crappy, there are alot of econoboxes that fit that category. Sadly the Corolla has alot more quality and durability than many American and dare I say European cars. The Corolla...the best selling car worldwide.

For efficiency and reliability you can't beat a Corolla. I just rented one for a week in northern CA and got an average 35mpg. Not a great amount of power, but I never had to worry about it breaking down either.

Alas, it is a great car and you can pick one up cheap - oh and gas prices near $4 do not hurt either.

You keep mentioning Toyota gaining sales due to fleet dumping, but Toyota's fleet percentages has been roughly the same; as GM and Ford are reducing fleets, it has been Nissan, Hyundai and Chrysler increasing fleet sales
There still a good portion of the Corolla that's being sold to fleet. Not that it matters because Toyota is still getting the money.
With that being said, I'm not surprise to see the Corolla besting the civic and the hyundai. The Hyundai suffers the yugo syndrome while the civic cost much more than the corolla (as much as $4k or more, which is a lot when you're talking sub $20k cars).

Correct. Despite what some may think, Corolla fleet percentage is not that high at all. Why? It's Toyota corporate policy to not have high fleet sales. Recently in an interview Toyota execs mentioned that they would not exceed 10% fleet sales for any model.

I believe it is for the brand, as the Camry is about 14% of fleet sales, and the Toyota brand is about 9.8%

Correct, the Civic EX Sedan auto is $19,510(w/ Nav= $21,260) while the Corolla LE is $15,515 ($3,995 diff.). After taxes u have a $4,255 price difference. Given the enormous price difference its amazing the Civic is selling as well as it is. The '06+ Civic is *almost* a midsize car in terms of size & is in the midsize level in terms of feature content/ price. The '07 Civic EX costs $85 more than the '07 Accord VP- auto & $1040 more than the 2007 Camry CE-stick & $10 less than Camry CE auto. If Honda makes the next Civic any bigger it will definitely jump to the Midsize class level like the Altima did several years ago.
