I really like that new Corolla T-Sport!
I notice on the back a 'B' next to the plate, would that mean it's an import from Belgium?

I HOPE you know the specs of this ...... if ya did ya might wanna change that statement. This corrola is FAST...... faster than our celicas , and is compared/beats the Civic TypeR, in all forms.

Yeah, I would most likely get one of those rather than a Celica. The reason for that being is it's a nice hatch with the 2zz in it. I guess that one was imported from somewhere in Europe.

The reviews of the Euro spec on SCC said it wasn't that great a car compared to...I think it was the civic R, I'm not sure i'll get the article from home... but then again it's a magazine review...

Its probably stiffer and lighter than the celica chassy. Look at the last pic, it has better seats too. I heard the TS version is shoe-horned with the 2ZZ. It is unlikely Toyota will ever bring it in the States as long as the 7th gen celica is still using that same motor on the gt-s. Plus coupes and fastbacks are statistically more favorable here than hatchbacks.:(

Where are you pulling that info from? (kind of sounds like it's from your ass)

Manufacturer's quoted times: 0-100km/h - 8.4 sec., 0-400m - 16.1sec., 1210kg=2660lbs :wave:

haha its a nice car and all..... probably pretty quick... but like why import a corolla?

heard of importing skylines, EVO7's.... BUT A COROLLA? come on now....looks like the suzuki aero kinda... the shape...

although it'd be funny.... if that guy took out a civic.. civic owner would be sooo confused...
