The Corolla isn't ugly (in fact, it looks like a baby Camry), it's just bland and boring. The Focus, on the other hand, is probably the ugliest American car since the Pinto (I'd say the Gremlin, but the Pinto was made for 2 years after AMC stopped production of the ugly duckling).
I think most people would rather go with the mundane Corolla than the Cobalt and Focus mostly because of reliability and because the Corolla's looks don't insult you. So what if Toyota didn't try to be bold? That's not what the Corolla is trying to market to anyway. For what it is, Toyota did a great job with the new Corolla, IMHO.
