Corolla Sedan 2008 Model

[Phuncz]

As some have already seen, Toyota has unleashed the new Corolla Sedan model 2008 in some countries ! It's listed on the Greek website and it is also released in Japan as the Corolla Axio. The design is VERY different, lending traits from the Camry and Lexus cars to make a more Camry-like model. Pictures say more than words:

As you can see, a much sleeker design !! Now I got some questions. I almost ordered a 2.0 D-4D Sol Pack version (with Sat Nav and such) in Dark Blue Mica. Very cool combination I think but I read some stuff online my dealer couldn't yet verrify (nor could Toyota Belgium).

1. For instance, I read the Sat Nav has a 30GB harddrive for music. True ?

2. I also read a backwards drive camera is included on all models ?

3. Also, a button on the remote to start the engine is included ?

4. I read about problems with the Sat Nav and an iPod not displaying titles and being forced to 6 playlists (which is :censor: )

Thanks for your time and when I decide on the Corolla, you'll see me around a lot :)

Considering that the Corolla range is now obsolete in the UK, i'm sure that current design will reflect this in it's version around the world, of various designs.

With regards to your questions, i'm sure Toyota could have a few of the features you have mentioned within it's new range, such as an internal hard drive for music, reverse cameras can be added as well mainly for parking assist, having remote start via keyflob is possible as well.

Drove it, works quite well.

But that irritating rear end.. again!

Here I am, trying to destroy it with vacuum-cleaner:

looks like the interior of an auris.

looks like the interior of an auris.

For a very good reason. They Rolla sedan and the ubik hatchback share a common platform, and for some reason they decided to give the hatch a silly name, but kept the Corolla Badge for the sedans/saloons.

It's damn ugly from behind lol. Lights, bumper, weird shape of the backside...

It sure does look that way in the silver color but I'm having good hope for the back in Dark Blue Mica (8S6). As soon as I have it, pics will follow :)

Today I learned those features are J-Spec only. Does anyone have any information on J-Spec Corolla's in English about this ?
