Pfft.... :rofl:
Looks good, I've always liked the new Corollas, just not the fact that their looks didn't match the power...

Interesting. a detuned 2ZZ-GE... so I wonder what happens to the Corolla S? Does the XRS replace it or slot above it?

big big step from the base corolla/s

It's about time Toyota stepped into the scene. They've been out of it for such a long time. Everything of theirs is underpowered and overpriced.

I have the Road and Track where they did the coupe comparisons between Prelude, GSR, GTI, 2.5RS, Eclipse GT, Cougar V6, and Celica GTS. The Celica GT-S only had handling and braking going for it. It actually has a top speed of 129mph (Redline limited). It was the slowest of the entire group with the exception of the 2.5RS. I wouldn't expect much better from the Corolla.
