The 2012 hard cover has a latch at 7 o'clock, but it doesn't have a hole to hang a pad lock, is there an ingenious way to secure it?

Cheers!

Turns out need to turn on the headlights for the bar --=== option to show, it's all good!

Thanks for responding. My Corolla has the --=== bars at the odometer display, but not on the Hiace, it only cycles through odo/trip a/b. Where is the manual when you need it :-)

Is it possible to adjust the brightness of the instrument panel on a 2007 Hiace? The brightness is just right when the headlights are off, but when the headlights are on it is barely readable. I thought that is a very basic function on all cars but just cannot find the adjustment switch on the Hiace. That wouldn't be an optional upgrade would it?

Mentions the hybrid Corolla(?) for 2012.

That article mentioned hybrid Camry in 2012, isn't hybird Camry already a done deal?

The fact that sunroof comes standard with Conquest could mean that ZRE is near the end? More features to boost sales to maximise return on current design.

I don't think they will release a new a new corolla for a while the current sedan has recently had a face lift and in my opinion the facelift looks ****. The tail lights look out of place, the rear bumper is more like one from a lancer and the boot handle is out of proportion. Toyota make great cars, yet they do not maintain a high standard of axceleration required for highway driving. The semi auto shift in the 08 sedan is shocking and you have to floor it to get the power you need. Their are many issues with the current corolla and hopefully they correct them in the next model. If I was in the market fir a new car I would probably opt for something like a Mazda 3 or a larger Toyota.

It's going to be between a Corolla Conquest Hatch (sunroof is nice) or Mazda3 Maxx Sport Hatch ($2,000 dearer and no sunroof).

2011 just started 5 days ago. i doubt any car manufacturer brings out their new car 5 days after new years. give them some time, i reckon we will get to see a facelift or even new corolla. what we will get to see is a hybrid Auris (Auris being the european twin of the corolla) and theres a new Corolla sedan coming, but i think thats only for the US.

And yes 2007 was the first ZRE.

I thought news about new cars normally start flying around 3 to 6 months before actual launch, and they tend to launch new cars at the beginning of the year due to auto shows in America. No news now means no new cars at the show, which also means no new car for the rest of the year because they have to wait for next round of shows in 2012. That's my guess.

Is ZRE152 the current generation Corolla? And was it first appeared in 2007? Any news on when will next generation be out? Since it's already 2011 and no new Corolla, I guess earliest will be 2012?

Cheers!

Thanks for the info. If dealer only charges $319 for genuine stuff and it should be colour matched, then the ebay unpainted imitation crap at $210 seems like a rip off.

Anyway, I will ask about the price will it's due for the next service.

I really should have asked for spoiler at the time of purchase but I didn't thought of it. Anyway I'm now thinking about adding a spoiler, any idea how much the dealer would charge (parts + labour)? I'm just after a ball park figure so I can forget about it if it's prohibitively expensive. Also interested in fog lamps, any idea? Cheers!
