Ooo, a liftback. Love the profile on these. This one looks to be in great shape. Cool vents behind the rear window, too. Just saw an ad online for the "Prius Liftback". Kinda cool to see them still using the liftback name, even if it's on a Prius.

How do cars in Oregon NOT rust out? Here in NYC things rust the second it hits the air. lol

aaah, the lines on this car are so sexy. kinda reminds me of the Volvo P 1800 ES 2 door wagon. It's nice to see one that's still kickin without any rusted out body panels and is in good running condition.

My question is why does Oregon have all these cool old cars? In California, you're lucky enough to find cars from the 80's.

I believe, emphasis on believe, that this was featured in a CC on TTAC in April of 2010.
And as Tiburon said, this car has a lot of P1800 wagon design elements, which are great.

Wonder what "Deluxe" gets you?


PS...Am I the only one who waits in trepidation when I submit a post...not sure if I've typed in the correct secret code?

@Anon: Deluxe was actually just the base trim level for the Corolla Liftback (and most Corollas then, though there was also a stripper version of the basic 2-door sedan). The nicer SR-5 model got you sporty wheels, nicer trim, a few more features and a 5-speed manual (the "5" in SR-5) instead of a standard 4-speed stick.

@ Spiff: SR5 stood for "Stripes, Radials, 5-speed"

Looking good. Toyota never disappoints. I like the sportier look of the 2014 Corolla. I was wondering exactly what made it stand out more to me. That's exactly the thing. I think the wheels have a bit to do with it as well.

I don't know if I like the LED lights. I will have to see how other drivers utilize it and then come to my conclusions about it from there. I guess I'll have to wait a bit before I do that.

The interior looks really good- seems comfortable like the one before it.
