I like it just about as much as I like the Camry --- not at all. They forgot to put a lower grille on the blue one, that looks like a piece of ricer crap!

Engine:The CE, LE and S models will be equipped with an all-new 1.8-litreengine. The 16-valve, DOHC four-cylinder engine with Dual VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing with intelligence), produces 132 hp at 6,000 rpm and 128 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm. A five-speed manual transmission is standard with the 1.8-litre engine, and a four-speed automatic Electronically ControlledT ransmission (ECT) will also be available.For those who crave even more horsepower and torque, there is the 2.4-litre engine. This engine is completely redesigned for use in the new Corolla XRS model. The 16-valve DOHC engine with VVT-i produces 158 hp at 6,000 rpm and 162 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. The 2.4-litre engine will be paired with standard five-speed manual and optional five-speed automatictransmissions.That may just translate over to the Vibe. LAME!
