Toyota Corolla Verso Coming in 2006!

"Folks at Toyota see a hole in their lineup between the Matrix and the RAV4. So they will bring a version of the Corolla Verso4, already on sale in Japan and Europe, here to plug that gap. Intended to compete with the Subaru Forester, the Verso4 will have all-wheel drive, and power from either the Corolla's 130-hp 1.8-liter 4-cylinder or the 161-hp 2.4-liter Four found in the RAV4. A hybrid model using the drivetrain from the Prius is another possibility."

I personally would like to see them go to a 2.0 liter motor in this. 2.4 will be a gas hog and the 1.8 will be a little under powered.

Does Toyota even have a 2.0 motor?

And isn't the Verso4 essentially the same as the AWD Matrix? I don't see how they'd be filling a market gap with that model.

they could put the 2.0L engine from the rav4 but it's probably more efficient just to build the 2.4lL camary engine

i dunno sounds like another suv, but WHERE THE FUCK IS THE SUPRA ASSHOLES?

i'm still busy fuming about them not bringing the TSport over here

corolla verso

I usually defend Toyota's styling, but I'm sorry, THAT looks like an Aerio.

I thought so too... I thought it was an aerio... hmm.. perhaps Aerio copied Toyota?

looks like a midget mini van to me :?

When I first saw this...

I saw it as a trend change to more fuel efficient cars. In Europe and Japan, cars are much smaller and more fuel efficient.

I agree with Bewildered, it sure looks like a small minivan.

it is a small minivan. i think it seats 7. in Europe the mini mpv is the one of the biggest segments

i dunno if they stopped using the 3S-GE over there yet...but i dunno, the 2.4L wouldnt be so bad... but umm...whats the point? its not like the matrix or the RAV4 are the biggest sellers in toyotas lineup...i dunno. and yeah, WHERE THE HELL IS THE SUPRA! come on now, the RX-8 is back, the Z car is back with a vengence...toyota supra is the only thing missing from this lineup

NO JOKE GOD DAMN TOYOTA. CANT WE SEND THEM MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF "SUPRAS NOOOOOOOOOOW" mail?

Have they redone the matrix to look at all different for this year??? I drove past russ darrow toyota this morning in West Bend, WI and there was one of these sitting on their lot. Have they been released yet??? Am I retarded??

yes they've redone the matrix and corolla too. it's been out since the end of may

3 door rolla hatch, where is this at? this is just like a xa, but with the T up front. I agree that the Supra should be back and maybe the ragtop celly, hint hint toyota.

i think that site should be more careful when giving information.
THAT'S NOT THE SUPRA on the picture. that's the Alexandro volta concept car.
geezzz :x

this would be the supra :wink:

The verso is a P.O.S. they have them here in Italy and they are gay looking

yeah, very gayish looking car. plus looks the same as that new little chevy and the suzuki.

took the words right out of mouth. Stop making those kind of ugly cars, sheesh. Don't we have enough already with the Scions? What is Toyota thinking? We're all gay or what? I like the way Mazda's making their new models. Agressive design and power efficient. Now those are sharp looking cars.

I hear rumors about a new Supra release in 2006 or 2007, but that is only a rumor. Toyota totally denies it, yet I hear so much news regarding that vehicle.

I also hear that tom. Why do you think they are trying to hide it?

because they are stupid americans? Why, in the hell........ would i want chris farleys brother as the VP of toyota :?

They should be all japanese. They are aware of the ae86 popularity in america. I am just wondering if there to lazy to bring back a rwd car and redesign it. :roll:
