On top of this is the dino basic four gang auto!
((British accent)) And here we have a rare species, the Lexus SC430. Originally conceived to be a competitor to the S2000, it turned into an overweight and overpriced breed. Unable to match the athleticism of its Honda rival, you are more likely to find the SC430 grazing on grass at your local country club or receiving a manicure on a glamourous high street.
Boring...That said, I'd buy this new Corolla over a Sentra. Thank god that there are far better choices on the market than these 2.
Am I missing something here?The Corolla S trim is $19,215 vs the LE trim at $19,500 but QuoteThe S includes the same standard features as the LE, but adds a unique grille and rear fascia, front fog lights, 17-inch tires and sporty machined alloys, rear spoiler, front sport seats with premium fabric seat cloth and heated front seats, a unique two-gauge instrument cluster with a digital TFT information display, and leather-wrapped steering wheel.So what is the incentive for the LE? It seems you need to upgrade the LE with the upgrade package to get at least most of the features the S get's standard (and the S get's it cheaper to boot).

Who said the SC was supposed to be an S2000 competitor? ?
The fact that air conditioning remains an option on any trim level surprises me.
Read the article, reviewed the pics...I'm sure this car will help maintain Corolla's winning streak. Not ground breaking design but that's not the Corolla's thing anyway...I think they've moved away from the perpetual plain-jane syndrome by designing the car to look more on par with the segment. I do like the interior based on these pics. While not very exciting I can't see how you'd go wrong buying one of these...the Corolla must have a very good overall satisfaction rating. I can't imagine there are many, "I hate my Corolla" people. Edit – There are lots of, "I hate your Corolla" people though.

This is the ideal car for people who dont actually like cars and simply want a reliable appliance to get them around. Nothing wrong with that!Too bad it wasnt available as a wagon as it would be great for hauling around my dogs.
Thats why I dont get the hate towards the Corolla....its made for people who see cars as a necessary evil, people who dont see driving as enjoyable but want something that is efficient, reliable, has good resale and is cheap. I would never buy a Corolla, but I totally understand why some would and this car sells by the trainload, most people arent gear heads.

They are everywhere, and usually being driven in a manner that could best be described as slug-like. Members of the Anti-Destination League seem to have them as their top choice.

Not the cars fault though...and not nearly as bad as the number of M BMWs, AMG Mercs, 5.0 Mustangs, WRX....etc, that have held me up. A Corolla is holding up traffic, you understand....some moron in a M3 isnt accelerating down the on ramp to the highway, that drives me nuts.

But thank God we have the new 3, Forte, and Elantra as alternatives.
