W.T.F. ?!
Seriously man, grow some balls.
On another point; why is it that Corolla LE Eco models have such a lack of color choices? You can only get white, silver, and grey. Even black is not available. It reminds me of the old model-T cars; "You can have any color you want, as long as it's black."
Really, that is the biggest turn-off for a lot of buyers = no colors for the new Corolla, unless they go with the 'S' model trim.
I used to consider myself to be a 'Toyota Guy', but with with the latest design ( roof a bit too low, dash a bit too high, no colors other than a mixture of white/silver/grey, ancient engine, and really loud road noise, I'm either going to buy a USED 2005-8 Corolla, or buy a nice METALIC BLUE Nissan Versa Note for my next car ( I like blue a lot.)
