In Europe the new Corolla is called Auris and it has been released on February 2007.
In italy a few of them have been sold...

Yaris and Matrix

Where does this model fit in?

Looks like Toyota version of Rabbit and Jetta.

hard to see a good picture, but the sedan version seems pretty nice...

Here's to hoping they call it the Auris and not the Corolla. They won't abandon that much brand equity, but I still hope. That hatch is a damn nice car though.

Have you noticed the new Sedan looks a lot like the 1999 (I think it was 1999) version of the Corolla that was in Australia.....just more re-designed ~ The back and the lights and everything.....the new Corolla lights are just more "stuck out".....if you know what I mean ~

I've seen a few on the road already ~ They Corolla hatch from the front looks a bit like the Yaris ~

It's like they mixed a bit of everything into the new Corollas ~

What's more.....it's DOUBLE VVT-i engine ~ It's suppose to be more fuel efficient ~ I wonder how the double works ~

The question is, Yaris YRX Hatch or Corolla Ascent? About the same price.
Yaris has 2 disc brakes, 2 drums. Corolla has 4 discs. Yaris has 80KW, Corolla has 100KW.
The has to be something the YRX has over the Ascent?

the YRS and YRX are the same......but YRX just has more addons like the bodykit, 6disk, passenger seat tray.....nothing changed with any performance...just more addons from the yr/yrs models.......

obviously the corolla ascent is the better buy if they are the same price.

Lol, that's a bit like saying the YRS is just the YR, but with a better engine and other things. Infact, everything is everything else, with changes. :p
Nah, I looked at the specs and the YRX has quite a bit over the Corolla Ascent: alloys, fog lamps, body kit, spoiler, better colour choices, 6 disc stacker, fuel economy, turning circle, front AND rear power windows (Corolla just has front). Unfortunately, spending the same, but gaining better power and brakes means many other things will be sacrificed. :(

for me, I love my Yaris

It's a YR and I'm happy with it

1.3 is awesome when talking about fuel, and not a bad engine for daily driving

I'm customizing the car so in 1 year no body could tell if it was a YR or YRX

Back to the topic,
The new corollas are great but they are not my taste,
I like the 3dr yaris better
