Corolla Wagon - Gone the way of Sportivo - No more

:( GONE: COROLLA WAGON

TOYOTA will not replace the current Corolla

station wagon in Australia. Supplies have

almost dried up for the current model, which

when it arrived here late in 2001 was billed as

a replacement for the Camry wagon.

“We can depend on some of our SUV

offerings, like Kluger and RAV4, for people to

migrate to (from the Corolla wagon),” Toyota

Australia’s sales and marketing chief David

Buttner told GoAuto. Last month Toyota

unveiled the new-generation Fielder (Corolla)

wagon, which is the Japanese-market version.

This will not be coming to Australia.

Meanwhile, Mr Buttner confirmed that the

Corolla nameplate would definitely be retained

in Australia on both the 10th-generation sedan

and hatchback variants due around April.

“There were discussions held, but we felt that

this had such a strong brand image here in

Australia,” he said. “We didn’t have the issues

Toyota was facing in Europe, where Corolla

wasn’t a strong badge, and they really needed

to introduce something that could continue to

grow our market share in Europe, so the Auris

name badge has been adapted for Europe.”
