I want the hatchback Corolla!

Do you mean the AE86? AE82?

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

I thought the Matrix was a hatchback Corolla

^more like a wagon-mini van hybrid :lol:
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.

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?

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.

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. :thumbup: 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.

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.

rear 1/4 looks like a ep3 civic hatch.


haha copycat!!!!

personally i hate the thing it is ugly as hell
