If you're going to make a point, at least try to use information that's pertinent. Those pics are NOT the USDM Corolla. The USDM Corolla has a different bumper, and different grill.
Those pics are the Corolla Axio, the blandest of ALL Corollas. It's sold in a few Asian markets, but not here.

I disagree, however, that it the styling is "bland". I get turned off by super-aero, space-ship looks.....I much prefer styling like this.

Here's one from Edmunds, of a U.S. 2009 Corolla. Such a huge difference.

Mazda has pretty decent ratings these days. Are those Ford motors under the hoods? Where are all the 2.3L turbo Fords then? Ford doesn't tune or design the suspension either or their cars would be at the level Mazda is at. Its no Lexus or anything on the reliability front, but Toyota has been having plenty of its own issues. As far as handling goes, across the entire model range, only BMW (as far as non-exotic cars go) can be mentioned in the same sentence as Mazda. If you don't believe me, go drive a MS3 hatch and tell me it doesn't outhandle everything short of an M3.
People don't buy a Toyota because of its reliability; if they did they would have stopped buying quite a few of their best sellers a couple years ago. They buy them for their perceived reliability; pig and elephant DNA just won't splice.

Entry-level Mazda sedans have always had better-then-average reliability....that is nothing new, or confined to recent times. I had three of them myself, before I got my first Toyota....a Celica.

I would get a Mazda way before I got a Honda or Toyota. Mazda is my favorite non luxury brand. My families experience with 2 929s has been great.
They are good looking, well built with good features and don't have the Ricer/moron stigma (Honda) or sheep/boring to death people (Toyota) either and image counts.
