Nevermind the wheel gap....you could park a bus underneath that thing!
Reminds me of the Dodge Dart - with my glasses off it looks pretty decent but once I put them back on it is just a little overstyled shitbox.

Having driven these cars a few times, I can say is that they "attempted" to make the car seem more aggressive by reducing the baffling in the exhaust system to make it louder. It's still a six year old engine with technology used in overseas cars starting six years ago.

Drove the car for the first time yesterday and I think they really stepped up there game. Its alittle noisy if you press the gas pedal to try and get going pretty fast. But what i didn't notice was it has a touch screen, LED headlamps and a back up camera. Hmm not bad.

They're starting to add LED/HID lighting to these? Thank goodness, as 90% of the stupid blinding "HID kits" in stock halogen reflectors that I see on the road are a Toyota of some kind: Corolla, Tercel, Matrix, with the occasional Celica and old beat up 4Runner. :fuuuuu:

has this been posted before? no love from jalopnik way back in august:

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's recently launched small overlap front crash test is one of the more stringent in the industry. A number of compact cars earned top scores of acceptable and good in the test, but the newly redesigned 2014 Toyota Corolla wasn't originally tested. Today, IIHS released its results and the Corolla scored a rating of marginal in the crash test, one step up from poor, the lowest score.

From the report: "Structural performance was poor and the driver's space was seriously compromised by intruding structure. Measures from the dummy indicate that injuries to the left lower leg would be possible in a real-world crash of this severity. The dummy's head contacted the front airbag but rolled to the left as the steering wheel moved 4 inches to the right. That left the head vulnerable to contact with forward structures like the windshield pillar and dashboard. The side curtain airbag deployed and had sufficient forward coverage to protect the head from contact with forward side structure, such as the roof rail and interior door panel, and outside objects."

Comparable 2013 civic crash:

^ shiiieeeetttt im gonna die :badpokerface:

lol what a shit box, just like the Prius V and the Camry. Not sure why Toyota makes their A-pillars out of cardboard.

One of my sales guys lost a deal because of a Camry in a pic like that :lawl:

i take back what i said about the corolla... it sure goes pretty good in this police chase:

^ Didn't watch the whole thing, I hope they didn't call it a "sports car"...

u can see when that 130hp power comes in on that corolla lol... :P

i will admit that the acceleration was a little subpar, but it did well in the aggressive cornering and braking categories. in most other car chases you see them wallowing around, oversteer/understeer, brake fade, etc... no so here! :D

front bumper earned a fail though... ripped off like a sheet of paper after the pit manoeuver :(

but overall it was a good test drive :thumbsup:

yeah I know...

I also hope they didn't call it a GT-R
