Corolla Selling Like Hotcakes @ Charity Benefit - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I supposed I consider this the good and the bad. Seems all brands of Corolla's are selling like hotcakes.

Tried to order my new 09 Corolla XRS in Blue Streak Mica - only to be told that I have to wait until mid-June to take delivery. My build date is June 4 in Cambridge (YEA! a Wednesday car!)

*sigh*

How has everyone else managed to keep from jones'n while they wait for their new 'rolla?

I ordered a Streak Blue XRS 8 days ago. Approximate delivery is July 10th.....hmmmmmmmmmmm Interesting how that worked out. Honestly we won't know much until a vin is in place

What?? Two months of wait for the Corolla?? That means, in a few months, I will be seeing Corollas everywhere!!! I better buy those rims, fast! Or I'll end up just being 'one' of them 'Rollas over there.

wow... is that just the XRS or all models?

I know the wait for a black XRS like mine is like 3 months now... The S and XRS models seem to be the most back logged, though I don't have specific details, since I'm not in sales.

nikolasmor, I think it might have something has to do with the number and type of vehicles allocated to each Toyota division (Canada vs US).
My spot in line for a Canadian-destined Blue XRS is mid-June. Your spot in line for a US-destined XRS is probably July. Also might have something to do with delivery which is shorter for me since I'm only 80km from the plant.

Hey guys, congrats on your purchase of the new 'rolla and I guess I was lucky to have waited only a week

rolla-XRS, how much did you pay for yours and which dealer did you buy from?

Word is spreading! It may not have the power (or mpg as someone here likes to point out) but it's obvious there's something that's attracting buyers.

I have to say that I'm really loving my XRS...I just got back from a trip to Windsor and the car drove very well on the highway. I'm very happy with the engine's quietness and smoothness...The 2.4L engine does make a difference...

I've been driving my XRS pretty hard this tank of gas, and I've still been doing about 9.5L/100km, that's more than good enough for me, lol.

And I just saw 3 identical ones yesterday. All silver CE's. I'm safe for now with my S

YOHAN · 04-27-2008, 02:18 PM

Gawd... can't wait to get new set of rims! I'll order one next week! Woohoo!

2 months is nothing. Scion tCs had a 4 - 8 month waiting period when they first came out. By the time they get off the transport truck, they have already been sold or by the time the sun sets, it'll be on someone's driveway.

And yes... now tCs are everywhere. I might actually get a new Corolla XRS if I can get one for under $20,000 when I have kids, which will probably be in about 2 - 4 years.
