Facelifted Corolla

What do you guys think of the facelifted corolla (Europe only)? I believe its arrived in Aus as well...There are some improvements, but I'm not liking the rear lights.

I like ours better, however I like the interior and gauges better of that version.

I'm guessing these are two different trims?
anyway, I definitely think the back looks better, especially the reflectors. The reflectors on our cars look so .... cheap.

From what I've read, it'll be coming here to New Zealand too. I must admit that I like the rectangular shape reflectors in the rear bumper better than the round ones.

Here's some more shots of it:

The front end looks ugly IMO. Totally changes the sleekness look of it. For comparative purposes, its like you have a normal Porsche 911 front end and then you compare it with the Porsche Cayenne front end. Looks taller, more SUV like even though it might be the same dimensions on these cars tho. The rear lights looks like the "City Jetta look" compared to the normal Jetta, like knock-offs of Altezaas or something.

The dash looks good, I wish we had the center vent dial shut offs and the center console cup covering on ours...
