The redesigned Corolla is supposed to be out in January, this looks like they needed a few extra months, so April or May?

Never said they were dumping cars. However for the first 6 months of 2006, 12.8% of Corolla sales went to fleets (same percentage for the Camry BTW).

Many cars keep moving up in size... the Altima actually got a little smaller for this new gen but its interesting.. 1 day the Corolla will be a full-size Luxury car lol

Slightly smaller but note that the last gen was huge! It was bigger than the Gen 5 Camry I believe.

lol... I'm sure trends will reverse it the other way... like how we had huge wheels, then small wheels and now we're back to huge wheels.
