I've got to admit that I haven't been checkin' out the new cars in the last few yrs or so. I traded a 2000 4Runner(V-6 w/ TRD Supercharger) for a 07 Tundra, to pull a boat with. I'm still several months away from getting a new small car (for everyday downtown) but this new Corolla S and XRS just blows me away, they are so sporty lookin'. I love every color they make em in.....but I really prefer the white, black or galaxy gray. I'm hoping all this works in my favor. Getting the car after it's been out for awhile and they have inventory to get rid of. Plus, I don't need a certain color and I'd really settle for the "S" to get the better gas mileage. If they make a dynomite deal for an XRS and it's a 5-speed, that'll work for me! In the meantime, I'll just watch all of you and those sweet-ass Corolla's you're getting! I'm still going to test drive the Civic and Mazda 3.........but they don't jack me up as much as the Corolla. BTW- All the other forums have a thread titled," How much did you pay?"......I didn't see one in the 10th generation forum.........or did I miss it? If not, someone get it going so us "dreamers" can get our cash together. I'm thinkin' a white Corolla S or XRS would look good sittin' next to his "Big Brother":
