but... LED headlights with drum rear brakes??? WTF??? :iono:

Like others have said, it's an evolution of what the "current" Corolla's have been so I'm sure it'll sell well. With gas prices and our current economy who can say no to a rock solid reliable, gas efficient and cheap car that will get you laid in the back seat on Friday nights?

LED headlights are available but not standard, they have a crappy looking halogen drl next to the LED which doesn't look good at all.

seriously though, looks nice when lowered... why are cars so jacked up now? even the new civic looks like a rally car compared to its predecessor

I think Toyota is the worst offender when it comes to wheel gap. The wheel gaps are enourmous!

Look at the German cars, they tend to have very little or even whel gaps all around. That's what we want. Toyota puts like basketball sized gaps between the tire and top fender.....

Their cars look a helluva lot better when its dropped and the gap is much more even. But everyone who chops the drop usually just dumps it so that there is no gap.....

Ditto. Honestly, I think my MR2 looks pretty cool, except for the retarded fenders. When I see a BMW next to me on the street I always look at their smooth fenders with small gap and wish that was on my car.

Just my personal preference I guess but I'd rather have a symmetrical wheel gap around the wheel than have a no gap at the top and three inches at the bottom of the fenders.

I'm not against some gap either... This just looks more like a gape. :)
