    I thought it was supposed to be a major overhaul? It looks like more a face lift if you ask me. Not feeling the front end all that much, but the back end is awesome!

    I think it looks great. The new Camry is one of the best lookings cars on the road in my opinion. I think modifying the Corolla to take on a little of that look was a good move.

    its the Corolla Premio over here, with slight design modifications. its nice but small, and yes they drive exactly like the Camry but with a bit more road noise. still using the 1.8 vvt-i 4 or here they have the upgraded 2.0 V6 small but nice overall. All it needs is the rear japanese wiper to finish off the look as with the majority of all japanese cars.

    BLAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the USDM Civics suck the JDM have a lot better styling and features, overall IMO.

    front end needs to be redesigned....first look at it made me think..."That's a Camry, not a Corolla dumbass!!" yea...what is with auto makers making all of their cars look the same from the front!? Gheyness....they should just scrap it and build a new trueno or sprinter....rwd option and I'll be hooked... :D

    ....just wait 'til march or so for the car to come including the S trim. The 10th gen will have a 136-138hp 1.8L vvt-i and a new 2.0L engine forthe new sports model to take place of the XRS and hybrid coming soon. Overall I like it and think of the JDM parts we can get in the future. Yellow the fogs and that counts me as a new owner....while I'm riding on my AE101 (won't get rid of It).

    over here they have the 135hp 1.8L VVT-i Inline-4 and the 160hp 2.0L VVT-i V6. like i said it looks big but it really isn't. thebest part is the V6 models have dual exhaust but they are tiny, but cool.

    i figured they would make it look like the camry/yaris. It actually looks nice. the 1 clear reverse light and 1 red, looks werd, as well as the instrument cluster, but atleast it looks like it will come with a NAV option. :D

    Usually the same group of designers work on most of the cars which would explain why many cars from one automaker would look similar. Camry/Yaris/Corolla. They all look quite similar front and back.

    for what the car is and the market is made for, it looks good. the corolla is not for the tuner market, so i never expected nor do i expect the corolla to be what it used to. the back looks a lot better then previous models and from the from angle it kind of has the shape of a yaris, just better looking.
