eBrochure is Out!

Only two pages of the "9" seem to load. Is there more?

Thanks!

Opitron looks much like the new Accord's LED-based dash and I definitely like the restyle of the LE front end. The integrated foglights are a nice touch! Standard ABS with EBD on the LE too!

Since this is from Toyota Canada's site, I'll have to wait until the US spec's are released. I'll cross my fingers though!

Yeah but the 40 additional HP more than makes up for the additional 120 pounds.

I wonder how different standard options will be in the states. It looks like all the Canadian model lines got some additional bells and whistles thrown in... standard body-colored moldings for CE, alloy wheels and 6-speaker stereo for LE and S, fog lights for LE.

It says the LE and XRS come with the Optitron gauges....does this mean the LE will have the same tach and speedometer as the XRS?

so even the LE can go up to 9k rpm too?
jk

ok.. now i'm confused... take a look at the Feature page (page 8 ), on the engine part it says "1MZ-FE"... Toyota is going to change the engine from 1ZZ-FE to 1MZ-FE????

Supposedly, US trim LE models will have VSC as an option.

"Fuel consumption Rating
Manual: 40/53 MPG
Automatic: 35/49 MPG"

what did they change to have such a good gas mileage??

I think maybe they have a different method for coming up with official mileage numbers in Canada. The drivetrain is the same.

And the 1MZ-FE thing is a typo.

That's liters, not gallons.

I don't think so. There's about 4 liters in a gallon.

After further research, it looks like these are probably Imperial (or British) gallons, which are about 20% more than US gallons. Hence the better-looking numbers.

Are the wheels the same size on the XRS? they look a little bigger, thinking 16"s

yea, it says the xrs rims are 16s..and the mpg..miles per gallon, its not liters..and its miles, not kilometers... it has the liters/km right next to it too.

Also did anyone notice that on the 05 corolla S, the rear bumper on the kit goes all the way around instead of only the parts of the back.

MrDisco is right they are using imperial gallons.. If you convert it to american mpg you get 33mpg city, 44mpg highway for manual and 29mpg city, 40mpg highway for automatic.

This is really false advertising by Toyota.. I wonder if other car manufacturers do this as well?

Not really. Canada is all metric anyway. But they have a strongly British tradition, so when you say "gallon" up there it usually means British gallon not American.

Are you sure about that conversion? That still looks high.

the XRS looks low like as if it had TRD springs on a regullar S

I’d have to say that I am very disappointed with Toyota about this so called ‘re-design’ for the 05 corolla. I wasn’t expecting major changes as Toyota has a 4 year cycle. That being said when I look back at the 2000 Corolla vs. 2001 Corolla, I’d say, thats what you call a ‘re-design’. All they did this time around was make it look like XRS. So comparing the 05 corolla to 2003/04 Corolla…everything is pretty much the same except for the lower part of the front (fog light area). In otherwords..very MINOR changes. :?

\

it looks the same to me

the 2005 S comes with "sport" like seats like the XRS does

"Daytime Running Lights (DRL) with auto on/off feature"
that means 05 corollas can now choose to switch off the DRL function or turn it back on?

I think that means more like the sensor we have that turns on the headlights to full power when it is dark. That's what I think, could be wrong though...

Woah...talk about features galore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting specs for the XRS. " 16" aluminum alloy wheels with P195/55R15 tires". That ought to be interesting...
