Congrats!! Like I always say, new cars are fun. Like Lee, I'd prefer a hatch. Regardless, sounds really good so far. Looking forward to the coming pics.

I liked both the XSE hatch manual & SE sedan manual, but I gravitated toward the sedan more because the hatch just seemed a bit too "youthful" looking for me now (especially those with the big added rear spoiler), plus the remaining 2019 hatchbacks are in far shorter inventory supply currently, with only a few manuals left anywhere around Phoenix, AZ (just one in black & one in silver that I saw in the area). I don't think any new hatchbacks will be hitting dealer lots until the 2020 one is shipped. I already miss not having a (greater utility) hatchback, and just shake my head sadly when I look into my deep but shallow sedan trunk. But, on the bright side, the SE/XSE sedan has a more mature, sophisticated look in-person (& better front styling IMO) & just felt like a better fit for me at my age. Compared to the previous-gen Corolla, this thing is like a mini-Lexus. Toyota has really upped their game with the TNGA updates.
