    2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback To Begin $20,910*

      Also, we have fuel economy figures

    Before the new Corolla hatchback hits dealers later this summer, Toyota has revealed pricing and fuel economy numbers.

    The base SE will set you back $20,910 (includes a $920 destination charge), while the XSE begins at $23,910. That will net you a new 2.0L four-cylinder with 168 horsepower and a six-speed manual. A CVT is available for an additional $1,100.

    This is what you get on either trim:

    • SE:  Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 with automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning; 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay compatibility, and 16-inch wheels.
    • XSE: 18-inch wheels, LED fog lamps, upgraded infotainment system, leather-and-fabric upholstery, and heated front seats. 

    As for fuel economy, the SE with the CVT is the mileage leader with EPA estimates of 32 City/42 Highway/36 Combined. The XSE CVT is next with figures of 30/38/33. For the manual, Toyota only has figures for the SE which are 28/37/31. Numbers on the XSE manual are coming soon.

    give it a 0.33 inch lift, slap some cladding on it, Matrix Returns.

    You are so right, This could easily pass for an updated Matrix or Pontiac Vibe! :P

    No need for a Matrix when Toyota already has the RAV4 built on the same platform.

    You must not have gotten the memo. Every brand needs 14 crossovers with only 2 inch difference between them in size

    Sounds rather wasteful, especially when gas prices are already up 30 cents in a month and will probably get more expensive for the rest of summer.  The real question is whether the crossover thing will peter out if gas prices breach $4 a gallon just like SUVs did in 2008 and the culling began apace.

    But we’re assured that is what people want

    Well you should have seen me yesterday trying to haul some PVC picket fence sections in my Compass.  Just call me Jed Clampett.  Only a n00b would get rid of a pickup truck in the name of 8 MPG.

    That is correct, plus a luxury brand with another 14 crossovers that are 2 inches apart.   The car buying public will not be satisfied until Toyota/Lexus has 50 crossovers to pick from.

    As far as the Corolla goes, this looks pretty ugly, the sedan looks better, and the sedan isn't winning any design awards either.

    Ask yourself this : When CUV sales were nowhere- did toyoyo/lexus have 50 sedans/coupe to chose from?

    That isn’t how it works, it is commonly know that every sedan made by every manufacturer in the past 20 years loses money and every crossover makes at least $10,000 profit.  This statement hangs on the wall of auto execs around the world.

    Sure that's how it works. Plus, at one point, sedans made $10K profit per and all CUVs lost money.

    Or not.

    As usual, discussing automotive trends is nearly impossible to separate the wheat from the chaff.

    I like this car. It’s got a decent little motor, NO EcoTurbo bull shyte; and finally Toyota has stylistically a vehicle with effort on design even though it’s still more ‘meh’ than the new Focus, incumbent Cruze, Civic hatch and the Elantra GT.

    And I hope it sells like crazy just to prove that Dearborn when it comes to cars has made forever only retarded decisions.

    That was a bit cheeky and trolling by me. Yes. Of course Dearborn has made great cars before!

     

    and all automakers do have bad periods, we all know unintended acceleration and the massive recalls that Toyota has. 

     

    Panther cars made for badass cop cars and the Mustang is good, but yeah I just had to find some kind of new dig against them, same with General Moronics.

     

    my biggest mistake is that in my view I hold domestic makes to higher standards, because I believe they can be much better if they weren’t so short sighted.

      Wishful thinking. I'll have an update later, but Toyota announced two new GR models for NY.

      Tariff Tuesday - Sports Cars are Dead

      By Drew Dowdell · Posted

      We picked April 15th because President Trump’s tariffs amount to one of the largest single increases in taxes on the American People in history. The tariffs which, if fully implemented, will raise $1.4 trillion in revenue, an increase per household of $1,900 to $7,600 per year. Trump's tariff policies change daily, sometimes hourly, so as always, this information is correct for at least 15 minutes after publication. Each Tuesday we will cover how these tariffs will impact the auto industry in specific ways and review the tariff news from the past week. Prediction: Affordable Sports Cars are Dead Sports cars, coupes, and convertibles, are already suffering from low sales as the market continues its shift towards SUV. Light and nimble, and full of fun, sports cars don’t fit into the aging American populace’s lifestyle. There have been no two-seaters built in the U.S. since the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky went out of production in 2010. The Mazda Miata, Nissan Z, Subaru BRZ, Toyota 86 all have 1% domestic parts content, meaning that if the car is not yet in the country, there will be an additional 25% tax added to the price.   For the Mazda Miata, the lowest price of the group, that brings the base price from $29,530 to approximately $36,912, a more than $7,000 increase.  Mazda only sold 8,103 Miatas in 2024, already a decline of more than 1,000 units from 2023. Adding $7,000 to the price is not going to positively affect those sales numbers. The scene is similarly bleak for the other models mentioned.  The Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ sell roughly 15,000 units a year combined, but will also see a $7,000+ price increase going forward. At roughly the same price point, Toyota sells 18,000 Toyota RAV-4s every 2 weeks. The Nissan Z, which struggled to grow last year, has finally gained momentum, catching up to the Miata in number, but with a $44,000 base price it could see a jump of $11,000, a tough pill to swallow for a car that is largely sold as a spare, fun car. Even the Ford Mustang with its 80% domestic parts content is not immune. Until the tariff drama started, the term “domestic content” included parts sourced from Canada and Mexico as part of the North American Free Trade Agreement. Even if all of the 80% domestic content is produced in the United States, the remaining content could see at least a $1600 increase in price. However, Ford doesn't fully break down which parts of the domestic content are actually built in Canada or Mexico, so additional costs could be imposed above the $1,600 increase. Ford Mustang sales cratered in Q4 of 2024, falling over 43% from the same quarter in 2023. For the full year 2024, Mustang sales fell 9% year over year and for the first time, the Mustang Mach-E EV crossover outsold its namesake. This happened all while the Mustang’s main competitors, the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, ended production and sales dwindled out. At the higher end of the market, Porsche and Lamborghini have warned that they will have to add massive price increase to their products to remain in the U.S. market. With sales already struggling for affordable sports cars, we think it is unlikely that many will survive, leaving only high-end sports cars available to consumers. View full article

      I disagree with the whole coupe thing. Coupe SUVs will not drive sales, right now they are dying on the vine and I am surprised even Genesis brought out a coupe and it is not selling. I back up that Coupes sell very little in that no one breaks out there sales, not even Genesis. https://carfigures.com/us-market-brand/genesis/gv80

      Ford is selling about 150k Mavericks a year, or on pace maybe to get there this year.  If Kia comes out with a sub $30k pickup they will sell 90k of them easily.   Also if VW would do a crossover coupe version of the Taos, and a crossover coupe Tiguan, sales would go up 11,000,000%.   Because if you have 5 crossovers that struggle to sell, don't make them better, just make a coupe version of the same piece of crap.
