Looking much, much better than the typically plain past Corollas.
Great tail lights, great headlights, grill. A Corolla S (SE?) will surely be great looking. Can't wait to see more, whole pics from Toyota. |

Yesterday Fred Haas Toyota had at least 3 2014 Corollas on the showroom floor and 1 2013 Corolla on the showroom floor. The difference is 'night and day'....the 2014 is light years better.

I'm going to head to my local dealer soon to check it out in person. Can't wait to see it.
From all the discussion I've read about this car, it's almost unanimously positive. That's saying a lot for a corolla. So on top of the legions of loyal Corolla buyers out there, Toyota is going to win tons of new customers with this car. The Corolla has managed to be a best seller for years with mediocre reviews, imagine a well rated version? |

I like it. But there is quite a bit of photoshopping been done before with the "C's" on it.

Are those proximity sensors on the front bumper too?

Not because Europe gets special treatment, but because they pay much more for their small cars than Americans. Americans associate cost with size so as our cars get bigger, so does feature content. We wouldn't spend $25K for a Corolla since we'd just get a Camry. Europeans regularly spend $25K for compacts, even sub-compacts.

you can even see it in Yaris vs Corolla. Even at the same price point, people chose to buy a Corolla, and dealers would rather sell the Corolla.
But the thing that wasn't mentioned is taxes. Europeans get overtaxed on everything, from car dimensions, to engine size, to co2 put out, etc. If the choice was between a Yaris contented out fully as a US Camry, or a fully contented US Camry, but you would have to pay thousands more in taxes additionally every year on the Camry, people would start to change their mind. Same thing in Japan, except there is a gigantic tax after the second full year of ownership, so there are japanese car lots with two year old cars that just won't sell because of these insane taxes that are due at the time of sale.

The original pics in the thread are apparently foreign market, likely the ASEAN market Corolla.
Thoughts: First Corolla in decades that doesn't look like a Corolla. Pretty nice. Great headlights, aggressive lower grill surprising on a Corolla, nice tail lights. Interior a huge improvement. Some lines slightly awkward (mainly the rear window kink - not a fan). Crappy wheel design. And c'mon Toyota, still with the ridiculous wheel gap? |
