Does Toyota have any DESIGNERS? All their cars look... ok, but not great. They just look like lumpen pieces of clay stuck on wheels. There's no surface definition and no proportions to ANY of their cars nowadays, new Matrix and Corolla included. Even the Vibe version looks better; the lines are more creased, the design has PURPOSE.
Toyota, get with it.

Corolla sedan looks like mini-lexus, and thats what most of our customers say.
Didn't know they had released the pictures yet.

Thanks, Sieze.
The blue Corolla looks too much like the Yaris sedan, IMO.....but at least it doesn't have the idiotic center-mount gauges of the Echo, Yaris, and some of the Scions.
The center-dash and console design remind me of smaller Volvos.

I like the Corolla.
I like interior. It seems that Toyota let the Corolla be a more "worldwide' product than one that is built for the USA. I have really noticed the fit and finish especially where the doors meet the dash. I have not seen that in a while for a car.

Looks like Toyota listened to Consumer Groups and didn't change a damn thing. Mind you, this is the same company that said they took the Corolla back to the drawing board to be more adventurous.
I mean, I wasn't expecting a beauty but the Mazda 3 owns this inside and out.

So Toyota basically took an extra year to dry up and shrink the Camry to rename it the Corolla. What a lush. This was the answer to the "fresh" look of the Civic? If this is what an extra year came up with, I couldn't imagine how it would have looked a year ago...

I don't think they look that bad but I hate how the Toyota's logo placement on the hood. It reminds me so much of an Echo that it's almost irritating. They should have just integrated it into the grill. I guess the upside is when debadged, it will look pretty clean.
