We still don't know exactly what the US Corolla will look like. So far we have the following 2 variations - I believe they are the Euro and JDM versions.

Both of which look like four-door tCs with small differences.

I don't see any tC. They actually just look like a natural evolution/update of the current Corolla.

Why?

That, to my knowledge, is Toyota's only remaining convertible in the American market.

I heard that they plan to kill the Solara name.

Perhaps the IS coupe/convertible?

That is long overdue, considering that BMW and even Audi has their new generation entry level coupes out and about already...

The cars are apparently supposed to be two "Toyota brand" cars, which rules out any new Lexus models.
