Corolla hatch

Corolla hatch

Why do we not have any Corolla's in hatchback form here in the U.S. ?? I love them, and like them much better than the sedan. Anyone know why?

because 4 door economy cars sell

exactly.

There was a Corolla hatchback for a few years (late 80's) called the Corolla FX16. There was even a GTS version with a 4AGE engine.

And no, it was not the AE86.

Matrix is the nicest looking hatchback on the road but, I hate the minivanish characteristics of hatchbacks and no matter how many sporty features are tacked onto the hatchbacks, they still give the minivanish look. Sedans only for me.

Hatchbacks/Wagons still exist in Corollas if you look closely. Ever heard of a car called Toyota Matrix??

I meant the newer Rollas. I know about the FX-16. I just like the more rounded hatches better than the block hatches, except for the CRX.

Take a Matrix and put it next to the Corolla hatchback available in Japan. One is much more attractive.

As far as the four door economy cars sell comment... I know, look at the Focus.

They could of made the XRS in a hatchback version... that would be cool, jsut like the Civic SiR...

It is purely subjective. Depends on your taste. Personally, the JDM Corolla hatchback RunnX (known as Corolla T Sport in Europe) looks bland and boring when compared to the Matrix XRS with 17 inch rims and body kit.

Gosh! it seems to be getting weirder by the minute. Ever heard of Matrix XRS???

True, because I'd never throw 17's on a car or a bodykit on a hatch that looked like that. Just 15's and a nice drop.

The offical inventory names are the Corolla Matrix and Corolla Sedan. U.S. does have a corolla hatchback it is just a ugly ass car. lol

I love my Corolla Wagon! no matter how minivan like it is, i need the room!

And Civic SiR (Si in US) is going to discontinue in Canada due to REALLY bad sell.

The Matrix is a 5 door... I'm talking about a 3 door hatchback, you know, like the SiR (or Si in the USA)... im well aware that the Matrix i based on the Corolla, and its a big hatchback/wagonesque Corolla... but I want a small 2 door hatchback...

The SiR is being discontinued, i know, and the reason it has bad sales is because of the price/performance ratio, Toyota would have to offer the 3 door hatch witht he regular engien too at a regular price...

Completely Stock Corolla Hatch
