I'm not much of a wagon person, but this has been fabulously done and one of the best modern Toyota designs I've seen. I couldn't care less about any naysayers, as they are in the minority for once.

This is world class for once, that I only wonder how well they've done the sedan. Surprisingly it has taken Toyota 25+ years to replicate the greatness that the early 90s Camry and Corolla redesigns were as mini-Lexus'.

Between the new RAV4, upcoming 4Runner, upcoming AWD Camry and Avalon, plus TRD variants of those TNGA-K cars, they are on a roll.

Corolla and sport should not be in the same sentence.

The badge on the car doesn't make it a sports car or not.

Saw a Corolla Hatchback SE in Blue Flame on the way in to work today. The rear looks quite nice, but the exhaust outlets/slits look tiny.

Assume you're referring to the new Corolla Hatchback and not the Corolla Touring Sports for Europe.
