I want the hatchback Corolla!

I want a hatchback Corolla... Why doesn't the USDM have 'em?

[Deep]

Do you mean the AE86? AE82?

[Lord_Anarchy]

I'm talkin' about about Euro-Spec hatchback Corollas

[Number Eight]

I thought the Matrix was a hatchback Corolla

[Alpha]

^more like a wagon-mini van hybrid
Anyway, I think he's talking about the likes of the fx, the sportiest corolla you can get (new) is the XRS, so don't bother with hatchbacks, unless you wanna restore an ae86.

[Lord_Anarchy]

The XRS Corolla is sweet... I love the sound of the engine reving up to the redline!!! I never get enough of it!!! HAHAHAHAH.. In anycase, nor could the dealership guy.. That is, 'til I told him.. "I'll be back.." HAHAHAHHAHAHAH I used him

I've got a hatchback corolla Here is Australia we got all of the hatches from the start practically... it wouldnt be too hard to import one would it?

[Lord_Anarchy]

Well, besides shipping cost, the Corolla would have to be emissions legal or that would be a bigger cost there. On top, it must be legit with DOT standard.

[thespud]

Not too sure about the DOT standard u talk about, but they all pass Japanese emissions, so they should pass US emissions shouldn't they?

*edit* I have always talked about importing mine if i ever move to the US so i have something unique relitively

I see a Hatchback Euro/Japan spec hatchback Corolla in the Toronto area once a while, looks like the WRC Corolla that Carlos Saenz used to drive. I think its been brought into Canada by somebody that didn't want to get rid of it. good lady!

I THINK that the JDM cars will pass a tailpipe test, but they don't have an EGR system so are not legal in the US, at least that is what I have read about on some sites talking about engine swaps.

My old engine (Aussie built) definately did... and i'm pretty sure the 20v in there now does too... but i could be wrong.

[Flashmn]

aktunka, well.. Japan has the most strictest air pollution regulations on the globe, so I think if a car passes there it would pass in the US.

I've always been a fan of the T-Sport. 3 doors with a 192 HP version of the 2zz-ge + 6-speed:
