Is the era of beige finally over? This concept is supposedly a preview of the new Corolla, due in 2014 – and it’s far more striking than the JDM version reviewed by our own BS.

    What will the geriatric customers say? I mean 8 in 10 Corollas I see driving sport that proverbial little blue haired old lady going to the store. This is aimed at the Scion crowd.

      Either that or younger people or the so-called secretary special. I actually find these to be attractive and far better than a pedestrian Sentra or Lancer especially in S or XRS trim. An S with a 5 speed or XRS with a 6 speed is a performance bargain.

    Mom always told me that if I can't say anything good, I shouldn't say anything at all. I like the color.

  • VoGhost I suspect that the people criticizing FSD drive an "ecosport".

  • Daniel J Might be the cheapest way to get the max power train. Toyota either has a low power low budget hybrid or Uber expensive version. Nothing in-between.

  • EBFlex These are very cool. Pointless, but very cool. I miss the days of automakers building wacky, fun vehicles like this.
