Wasn't it confirmed as the 09 Corolla?

Nah... I prefer the ZRE...

No need for a new model, just release a TRD variant - or something not so watered down for the punters.

If they got it right for the Aurion, then do the same with a Corolla.

If they looked like that from factory I may consider buying one. Alas, they do not...

Thats what I mean :) ... third TRD model???

Give us that...as stock. Something to rival the new civic type R

Hmmm it won't exactly rival the new Type R...

I'm starting to worry about the 2nd and 3rd TRD models now Leroy, because there are now 4 cars in the lineup with that same Aurion engine, and none of them are a Corolla. I have a nasty feeling we'll be seeing a supercharged V6 lineup consisting of Aurion, HiLux, Rav6 and ...Kluger :mellow:

Perhaps not... but would it be too much to ask for the above pic? Pair of leather bucket seats up front, decent satnav/stereo they are using nowadays, give us some LIFT once more, shortshifter, TRD exhaust... and potentially TRD CAI or some other legal, performance enhancing airflow variant... just a premium-ish car with a little attitude that you don't have to do anything to...

...then charge us 35 - 40k for it... type R rival.

You know what... I'd wager you may have something there with the Kluger. That would be a rival to the supercharged Subaru Forester Sti would it not?

More lift would require a heap of R&D one would suspect :( but yeah I see where you're coming from. They would definitely charge us 40k for it though :spiteful:

I think the TRD Rav6 would be aimed at the Forester Turbo because the Kluger is rather large, perhaps aiming at that ridiculous Territory Turbo *blerg*

They did... But it's a new model now and Toyota never wanted anything to do with the 2ZZ engine anyway. The 2.4L 120kW will be the Camry engine.

We'll never see the Blade here.

That is correct!

Anyway i really think Toyota Australia need to get their act together when it comes to the corolla

But IRS makes it better... and, thus, is a legitimate reason to buy one. That's not very kvlt...

      DIY Update GPS Maps on Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport 2017

      Hi everyone, I own a 2017 Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport based in Perth, Western Australia. My car's navigation system currently runs on iGO Primo software (version 9.12.14.545514). I'm looking to update the maps and keep the entire system updated. I understand that the recommended method is to visit a Toyota dealer, but I'm interested in exploring if there's a DIY way to do this. Could anyone guide me through the process or provide any reliable resources or links? Here are the details of my current setup: Car Model: Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport 2017 Location: Perth, Western Australia Navigation Software: iGO Primo 9.12.14.545514 Specifically, I'd like to know: Where can I find the map update files that are compatible with my navigation system? What are the steps involved in transferring the map updates to an SD card and updating the system myself? Are there any risks or considerations I should be aware of before attempting a DIY update? I’ve looked through the user manual and some online resources but couldn’t find a comprehensive guide. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! Best regards,

      Upgrade from 2012 to 2023

      I have recently bought a 2012 Prado and was wondering if i could buy a 2023 strat write off prado and upgrade both interior and exterior so all the functions from the 2023 works regardless of the newer features and buttons. I'm planning to upgrade not just the exterior, I'm also planning to upgrade the interior dash and stuff as well.

      Towbars

      I went to my local Toyota Dealer for a nudge bar and tow bar for my 2017 AWD RAV4 and was told by their part's department was told "parts no longer made." Looking at aftermarket (ECB, Haymen Reese and ARB) but hesitant because sellers can't give 100% guarantee that parts will fit GLX facelift model.

      Concerns about Fuel Consumption in Kluger Hybrid

      I have the same issue with my 22 new Hybird Kluger. I also found my (grande) new Kluger has missed 220V power point and camera view on central mirror comparing with same car in US. This clearly are the short cuts to Australia Toyota customers which is unacceptable.

      ASV50 Camry Head Unit Options

      I have a 2014 Atara SL with the JBL Navigation head unit, it's getting a bit long in the tooth and I'd like to add Android Auto so I'm curious about what other owners have done. I don't want to lose the reverse camera and the dynamic guidelines, there are also some other car functions as part of it that would be good to keep. I have seen plug in modules that wire in that add the functionality to the existing unit so it's possible to keep it and switch between stock and android but I haven't seen a specific one for this model JBL unit. Has anyone had success with a later model Toyota unit bolting in?
