Review: 2009 Toyota Corolla XRS

The Toyota Corolla hasn't stirred passion since the AE86, so it's forgivable to greet an all-new version with a yawn. The Corolla recipe has been refined to the point of grand success for so long now that changes must be approached carefully. A new version must not upset the car's combination of refinement, value, and durability. To be sure, the 2009 Corolla is likely to continue the model's grade point average full of red circles from Consumer Reports. Objectively, it's tough to top - subjectively, not so much. ...

    Knowing that Toyota has officially decided to delay its next generation Corolla until 2008 hasn't tempered our interest in knowing what it will look like when it finally does arrive.

    Sure, it's not the clearest picture, but we love spy shots so much that we'll put it up anyway. Wheelstorejt, a message board junkie over at ScionLife, snapped this shot of the next Scion xB. Unlike the vehicle's Japanese counterpart, the Toyota bB, it looks as if there won't be much of a redesign for the xB other than a ...
