If it still has four doors then I don't give a shit.
2019 Toyota Corolla
>reduces the drag coefficient
Compared to what?
less drag means better aerodyamics, which means better fuel efficiency.
This Corolla looks like a Toyota flavored 2nd Gen Mazda3 exterior with 3rd Gen Mazda3 interior. Meanwhile look at next-gen Mazda3...
I'd love to. Where can I see one? The Corolla Hatchback will have a production ready car in New York this week.
Everyone got so excited about Mazda's claimed 44% thermal efficiency that they ignored Toyota pulling 40/41% using what is probably a more reliable technology.
Compression ignition has a funny interaction with climate, and the early tech demo reviews make it sound like it didn't play nice with a manual transmission.
I love Mazda, I bought a fair bit of their stock last year. I will compare this to a Mazda3 if it is ready when the time comes. They will need to be significantly ahead of Toyota in terms of enjoyment for me to take that risk. The new Camry really impressed me with how much it improved.
I think people don't appreciate the amount of money Toyota will throw at research on a mass seller like the Corolla. Mazda doesn't have that kind of money and they have given out false hope before.
They ran ads about their cars bring rust proof in the 80s. They only stopped making rust buckets with the current Gen Mazda3.
Obviously I would buy a Mazda if I could
