So basically I’m left wondering where the Corolla stands in the lineup and where they’ll go from here. The Corolla is 100% toyotas favorite lineup, though the sedan is dwarfed in every way by the new Prius. Should the Corolla stay a cheap car with a weak engine, and possibly shoot for 60mpg? Should they shrink the car by 6 inches and reconfigure it as a subcompact? It feels like the chr and then venza, Toyota has crowded the field with compact- midsize sedans/saloons and that leaves the Corolla in a weird place

    The Corolla sedan is still a perfect first car. I can’t see Toyota going away with the Corolla anytime soon.

    They’ve since added the Corolla Cross to the list. I’ve heard mixed reactions on that, have started seeing more of them on the road now than six months ago, and in my mind needs one major thing to really make it more competitive - it needs to grow in length and maybe an inch or two in width. I have some room in the back seat of my Corolla, and earlier this year I checked out the Cross; I barely had room in the back seat. The Cross being three inches shorter in length is really noticeable inside; compare it with the 2024 Chevrolet Trax, there is almost enough leg room in the back seat area of the new Trax that it’s almost like sitting in a RAV4.
