From a branding perspective it's actually must smarter for them to keep the original designs as close as possible. When people think of Porsche they think of that classic sleek sexy design and that is why they must keep that brand image. With the Corolla they are able to change and rebrand the car every few years because they have to do so in order to catch up to the competition. The only things that they really keep the same are the fact that Corollas are very safe, efficient and reliable, which is what everyone knows them for. Two very different cars that live in very different realms.
I completely understand where you're coming from, but myself and I'm sure a lot of other people too would be completely devastated if they revamped the classic Porsche design like Honda revamped the S2000 or Toyota revamped the Corolla.
