Hatch is being enlarged and moved upmarket to compete with the Golf, and will now be a separate model.

I've been reading up on the 2FZ-FE engine that is going into these things (1.8L) as the replacement for th 1ZZ-FE. Duel VVTi sounds good :)

[DANZZT231]

looks slick.

[vyets]

:o dual vvt-i?

like the altezza rs200? mad!

i dont like its looks abit weird

wagon in hatckback would look mad would be cool if they had a 2door version!

I love this wagon

So according to this, performance will be identical to the pre-emissions 1zz-fe's. No improvement in performance only improved efficiency?

You would think improved performance and efficiency would go hand in hand

Actually, improved performance generally means lower efficiency. It is improved performance by about 10kw on the electronic throttle body engines.

Isn't it called the 2ZR-FE?

probably... I just ran some randon letters through my head and that sounded familar, you may be right.

No, If an engine is made to run more efficient, it...

a) Uses less fuel and lowers emissions.

B) As a result of running more efficiently - it produces more power per litre.

But true I was looking at it compared to mine but not the new ones.

[grima88]

Definition of efficiency:

Producing higher outputs utilising less inputs, without foregoing quality (from economics hehe )

So for engines I guess this means using less fuel to produce more power (maybe without foregoing torque or poor gas emissions?)

But yes I think the automotive definition of efficiency is centered on fuel use, and gas emissions.

this wagon's hot..a nice shade of black..with bronze rims...ohhhlala :)

[gOODbOYz]

that front of the wagon is hot

looks abit like the accord euro

Notice how some models in those pics have projector beams and some don't, most likely this means we'll be getting the coventional head lights here.

some cool features for this JDM car include. cruise control with radar sensors so that it slows down if there is car in front. Like a Mercedez S-Class.

keyless entry. No need to press buttons or insert key anymore. Same as a S-Class.

Automatic Parking parallel parks and 90-deg reverse park. Like a Lexus.

This time there is also telescope adjustment on steering.

Oh yes, the new engine is a 1.8L with dual vvt-i. pretty much the same performance specs but I reckon it is cleaner since all newer engines are subjected to more stringent emissions requirements. 100kw and 174Nm@4400rpm

The conservative looks is still there. Honestly, I thought the new civic looks heaps better and I'm a corolla owner.

Specs on engines:

Engine Specifications / Displacement (cc) / Maximum output (kW/rpm) / Maximum torque (Nm/rpm)

2ZR-FE / 1,797 / 100 @ 6,000 rpm / 175 @ 4,400 rpm

1NZ-FE / 1,496 / 81 @ 6,000 rpm / 140 @ 4,400 rpm

And more pictures :D

The red fielder there looks nice.

Sizewise, it appears to me to be larger than previous Corolla Models.

Pity they never did anything about changing the hilux suspension

[neK]

the new corolla sedan looks like a its been styled by hyundai :(

(Actually the Hyundai Sonata looks better..... and so does the Yaris Sedan).

Im disappointed in the styling of the new sedan.

Im gonna go buy a Honda Civic now :P
