Hi All,I believe the original poster (mfivvibe) was onto something!!! Check out the latest spy photo of the new '09 (10th Gen) Toyo-Corolla, aka: Matrix (aka: Auris). Look carefully at the over-all shape, headlight design, A & C-pillar windows and lower front lip around the fog lights! Here is the text found along with the picture on Motor Trend:Spied Cars: Toyota Corolla gets new outfitHot new Civic forces last-minute redesign of the Toyota Corolla.By Editors of Motor TrendToyota chiefs ordered a last-minute redesign of the next-generation Corolla after seeing Honda's avant-garde Civic at the Geneva show earlier this year. Insiders say senior execs were worried the new Corolla, said to resemble a scaled-up Yaris, would be seen as far too conservative.The redesign reportedly has pushed back the launch of the tenth-generation Corolla by at least six months. But it underscores Toyota's resolve to shake off its reputation for building bland cars.Toyota executive vice president Kazuo Okamoto concedes some of Toyota's products, including Lexus, haven't had the desired impact on consumers because of the way these cars look. "I think our design could've been weak," he said in Tokyo recently. "We didn't have enough aggression in our design."The blue 'interpetation' is an OPEL Astra 2 dr with a rear door rendered onto it. Saturn will be rolling it's version this Fall. Looks pretty darn cool, for a Saturn! Has HIDs and NAV too, sweet!Check it out here:
