In Canada the price of the Corolla dropped significantly since the last model. Most people in the demographic that buys Corollas don't care if it has rear discs or not.

I'd also like to point out that drums have MORE friction area than most disc brakes and what the hell are you talking about cables for? Drum brakes are hydraulic, WTF?

I'm not disagreeing with you in regards to discs being preferred, and that a vehicle costing this much could easily come equipped with discs, however Toyota chose to use that money in other areas of the car, instead of rear disc brakes.

Most people who are going to buy a boring car like the Corolla don't care about rear discs, which is why Toyota didn't see the need to spend money on a feature that won't help sell the car. They are in it to make money after all, and they seem to know how to do that, looking at their current financial situation.

Don't get me wrong I'd love to see some sportiness back in Toyota's line up, but I bought my 10th Gen because I WANTED a boring car, to get me from A to B. I've got the Supra and the AE86 for sportiness. People have all sorts of reasons for buying a particular car, and just because you don't think the 10th Gen is right for you, doesn't mean it's wrong for everyone else as well.
