And no WAY will they plug a new engine into the Corolla at the same time they plug it into Camry. So rest assured...your XRS's are here to stay the same.

I doubt the Corolla will get updated until at least 2011 (perhaps 2012), by then the AR series will be used a lot more, methinks. I think if the XRS still exists at that point, it will probably get the 2.5L from the RAV4.
That's my theory, but again, it's so hard to tell what will happen in the next 2 years.

IT wouldn't make sense to produce 2 different engines that are so close in size.

The 2AZ is being replaced with the 2.5L 2AR, so Toyota will have 2 new 4-cylinder engines, the 2.5L and 2.7L. They're even closer in size than the 2.4L and 2.7L, so it obviously makes sense to someone at Toyota.
