Where oh Where is that new Corolla?

Well, its no secret that the current clad Corolla is well over-due for its model year makeover. Toyota has now hung onto the current design, extending the conforming, utilitarian, and conservative (read: boring) outlook for 2 extra years.

Do they have parking in Strawberry Fields?
