New Corolla in New Zealand
Has anybody seen pics of the corolla from new Zealand? I wonder if its what the US corolla is going to look like soon. I had one of my instructors at toyota school tell me a rumor that was the corolla and matrix were going to be redesigned for the US. The hatch looks a little like the Yaris. Anybody have any info?

I bet that is what we will get - the hatch looks exactly like the Yaris!!
I like the styling of the Yaris - very classy-modern lines with "bubblecar - futurama 1980's concept car" thrown in. BUT - to have all Toyota look like a Yaris!!!!!!!!!!........shows a profound................ 1. lack of creativity 2. laziness in design 3. both. - God, I hope we don't have another "every car looks like the Ford Taurus" "jellybean sedan" 20 year run!!!!!!!!!!........not again PLEASE! |

That's odd, but i think better.
In New Zealand the hatch and sedan are both called Corolla. Here the hatch is called Auris and the sedan Corolla |

Not bad at all.
Looking like the kid of yaris+camery, but the what consumers wanted. All brands make look like all their models the same because people want a Camery but only can afford a Corolla.

I kinda like the hatch. As for all Toyota's looking like a Yaris, maybe the Yaris looks like all Toyotas. The design base is focusing on the Prius, not the Yaris IMO. No problem with that, create a strong brand image, focus on what people like, and flaunt it...
