    Old wins anytime, toyota made the newer corolla look so big, bulky, too curved, ugly front bumper, and lower MPG...shit even the 10th gen XRS is weaker than the 9th, using a camry engine....phhhfff! please

    i agree, the newer ones have this "cute and bubbly" shape to them that i loathe. I'd rather have the boxier 7th and 8th gens

    Airbags, multiple computers, lots of electronics, crash regulations, aerodynamic/fuel efficiency requirements, there are many reasons, it's not that "Toyota has lost it" look at pretty much 98% of new cars out there. All rounded, with no trunk, and slippery shapes.

    Well look at a stock 8th gen corolla... that doesn't exactly inspire thoughts of speed and performance or good looks even. Pretty boring also. I think modified, every car has a chance to look good.

    LOL. Well it's true that Toyotas never really looked fast or cutting edge or modern.... but at least they were more neutral in the past. Now, they're trying too hard and doing it wrong.

    Oh, you mean the entire bumper. Still, I've never liked that bar across the top of the grille.

    Plastidip! All the cool kids are doing it!

    But I had the HD mesh, even though I cut the top of the grille off. I just mounted it along the sides and bottom.

    No the reason is because you have yet to find a way to use bondo on the deck.
