Now if they can just fit stability control to their public image, they’ll be fine.

Totally agree with the sentiment. Waiting 3 years for ESP on the Corolla is a pretty big insult. You just know that the delay had more to do with marketing than engineering, in the sense that Toyota probably assessed that most Corolla buyers have higher priorities than safety.

I’ve said it before, Toyota will be among the last to give you new safety technology. They know that the vast majority of their customers probably don’t care too much.

What’s wrong with any engine that can run on standard fuel? The other issues aside, it beats having to pay up to 20c more per litre all the time.

The US Corolla has a 2.4 option with 5-speed auto. It’s quite funny the Corolla here is the only major small car player without a performance version. There was a Sportivo in the previous model, and with brilliant performers like the GTi, MPS and Ralliart, Toyota needs a fighter. The Japan hatch has since come with the Aurion’s V6 packing even more power. Couple that with independent rear suspension and it will be a serious contender.

For now, please add another gear for the auto.

See what Ignorance does to people!?

VSC has been in the Toyota Auris (aka Corolla) in Europe since it’s launch, everyone here in OZ is happy that the corolla has VSC now.
Maybe like the UE government if we added a law that every new car sold has to have VSC as standard, maybe just maybe, They could stop blaming death’s on speeding and start targeting bad drivers.

Why is CA writing an article on such old news. This happened about a month ago. And Toy motor don’t deserve to be congratulated for this. They claim the Corolla as the worlds best selling small car and they cant even give it basic safety equipment as standard. Just think of all those people out there who think their safer than God toyota’s will save them in a slide.
