Featured 2018-19 “Toyota Corolla sport”

Anyone who have heard of this version? It has a C in the emblem instead of a T and has some new headlights... that better be matrix LED and not halogen and reflector... anyone who got anymore new on that?

 

Mhmm... even more JDM exclusives then... when I took a closer look now it’s a RHD... so it’s probably JDM only... which will suck if it is... Toyota really needs some more visual changes in the trims, like BMW got the advanced trim, executive trim and M-sport trim... but when I looked at the AU market this is apparently it, it’s called the “accent sport”, and it does seem like it is halogen and reflectors just cause of the small DRL strip, if it was a top trim headlights the DRL would’ve been way “cooler” and “stylish”. U can even see the halogen bulbs in there in this pic...... that’s disspointing honestly, I thought we were past the 1980’s halogen and reflector era...

 

I doubt it will take over the Prius C, cause the C is the Yaris. And it’s a huge size difference between the C/Yaris and the new Corolla.
And I really don’t know... but since it’s called the “sport” I guess it’s the 2.0 hybrid option. Would seem a bit weird if they were to call all the engine sizes “sport” when the 2.0 is the only option that’s real sporty. And it would be a bit Weird if they were to only release one engine size first, they have the people and factory space to make all the options available as soon as its on pre order.

 

Toyota have said themselves theyve made the hybrids the fastest option tho... Its like that with every new gen toyota, new RAV4 2.5L hybrid is faster then the petrol and so on. And it says hybrid on the side of that corolla "sport" i shared the pic of higher up in the thread, why would it say sport on it if it wasent the fastest hybrid version? Which is the 2.0 hybrid 180hp as for right now. Toyota have said their "GR sports" department will release a GR sport if it aswell, but it most likely wont have any engine upgrades, as normal lol.

ive heard Chevy will drop the camaro aswell as soon as the corvette gets mid engine`d?

And i really dont know, wouldnt surprise me honestly... Yaris got reflector as base, same did the avensis base from what i remember...

And Norway atleast wont get the 1.2 turbo, only the 1.8 hybrid and 2.0 hybrid.

 

Even BMW is milking the halogen and reflector lights lmao, the 1 series and 2 series comes with that as base, theyre 45 000 dollar cars for F`s sake... Same does audi with the A3, its amazing how we havent passed the reflector era. Even the new redisigned 2019 chevy silverado ( i think) is coming with halogen and reflectors! Same is the Hilux... Like what the heck...

 

Ive never had any flash their lights at me personally, there is so many cars here with LED`s and HID`s. Only cars ive seen been flashed on is halogen and reflector lights, cause they seem to never be leveled correctly lmao. One ****!n annoying thing tho is people who dont put their lights in AUTO, i know in many cars if they dont sit in auto the auto height leveling system doesnt work, which then makes them blend AF... Id honestly much rather get blinded a bit more by oncoming traffic in humps by LED`s then not have LED`s on cars at all. Im never going back to halogen and reflectors again atleast. They dont light the road up at all compared to the prius i have now. I think if people get blinded by LED`s and HID`s its a problem with the auto height leveling system and not the lights themselves. Matrix LED`s is great tho, since they block out on coming traffic. Ive met loads of Opel/vauxhall`s with that and theyre great.

On trucks i guess most of the money goes to making it "tough", and not for lights... and Like, most trucks arent really used at night, theyre mostly used at daytime while people r at work. While normal cars r used 24/7.

 

CD players is still optional on BMW`s lol, thats never been standard here unfortunatly... Dont think cruise control is standard on the 1 or 2 series either (again, 40 000 dollars for the cheapest 116i manual WITH REFLECTOR HEADLIGHTS and 45 000 dollars for the cheapest 218i manual that still doesnt have LED`s as standard, but as an option..)... It was on the F30 3 series LCI tho(2016-2018, the F30 that costed 50 000 dollars base even had reflector and halogen from 2012-2016, insane...). But BMW has and still is milking literally EVERYTHING, only thing u get standard is a body and wheels, thats it... BMW is even milking reverse camera... 400 dollar option for a shitty 480p reversing camera... In USA i think u got new regulations about reverse camera`s thats taking action in 2019, where all cars that had reverse camera as options past 2019 has to have it in the base version as soon as we enter 2019. Wish we had that rule in Norway... But nope, milkey milkey... Milk everything as options. Ridiculous really. Whats even more ridiculous tho is how the new redesigned 2019 Bentley Continental Only comes with a reverse camera... 200 000 dollars, and doesnt even have an option for 360 camera... The car market is just ridiculous honestly... No matter what price range all cars lacks base tech thats been options for years on the last generation of those cars.

And im 19 lol, but i havent exactly grown up with inline 4 hybrids with loads of tech options. Grown up with all american muscle cars haha. But at some point u just have to grow up and accept that V8`s and everything that has to do with ICE will die out. Which is why we got 3 toyota hybrids, still got the 82 firebird my dad has had since 93 tho lol.

 

Here the MINI`s is the ones that needs it the most... lol, they park like they dont understand what "parking lines" is... I wish EU was`nt so useless when it comes to cars... All theyve done is added taxes, thats it. Sometimes i really wish Norway was a state in the USA lol.
