NOTE REGARDING THE TIMELINE

Until Toyota releases a press release regarding the 2009 Corolla and whatever happens to the Matrix, DO NOT UPDATE THE TIMELINE BASED ON A RUMOR. User:buterfly0fdoom Sunday, 2007-02-25 T 22:35 UTC

Toyota reports resumption of USA production at its new Blue Springs, MS plant in October 2011. http://detnews.com/article/20111117/AUTO01/111170439/Toyota-starts-Corolla-production-at-new-Mississippi-plant 03:08, 6 December 2011 (UTC)~~D.Galbraith — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.38.174.67 (talk)

Corolla years

I agree with the person below me. I think they should probably be grouped by generation, then where the market is, then what years they were produced. Japan has many variants, but few are described.

Also, a website alljapanesecars.com has pictures of every Corolla, post-TE72.

I've made a few corrections.

E80 series: Removed reference to Holden Nova as it is not relevant to the E80, only the E90 and E100 series. (http://www.redbookasiapacific.com/au/vehicle/vehicles.php?make=HOLD&family=PSNOVA&year=19898)

Corrected the 1C diesel engine entry as diesel engines do not use carburetors - the 1C uses mechanical injection. (Toyota 1C, 2C, 2C-T engine repair manual August 1985. Part number RM025E)

Corrected Australian E86 entry as it is RWD and available as a 2 door coupe or 3 door hatch like the European version. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_AE86_Sprinter_Trueno)

E110 Series: Corrected the Japan 2.2l diesel engine entry. It is a 3C-E, and uses EFI. (http://www.cars-directory.net/specs/toyota/corolla/1998_4/ )

As for adding information on the Japanese domestic models, I might be able to help. However information on these is quite scarce making it difficult to verify. Auto Vladovostok (http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/toyota/corolla/) has a very large catalogue of information on the Japanese domestic models, unfortunately it doesn't have much further back than the E90 series. I am also reasonably familiar with the Japanese diesel models as they are fairly common here in Australia (I own a CE100 myself). If the regulars here don't mind i can try to add what i can on these models.

Pathetic...

There is virtually NO data for these cars. I don't own one, but my girlfriend has a 2007 and I do all the maintenance/repairs on it. I'm just disappointed that there is no information about these cars on Wikipedia. It just goes to show that most Toyota owners don't know anything about cars except how to drive them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.184.255.110 (talk) 07:25, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Let's see, 2007 in US speak translates into an Oct 2006 onwards E140 or E150. So we look in the article in the 'Tenth generation (E140, E150)' section and find a prominent link to the detailed Toyota Corolla (E140) article which has a heap of information about the E140 and E150. Remember that Wikipedia is not a maintenance manual or a how-to guide on fixing cars. It simply tells you the major points about the car (engine type, production period, special features, etc).

Unbalanced article

This article seems to have been written from a mostly North American perspective: why, for example include figure for NA production alone, when several million Corollas have been produced outside of the USA?

The N.American market gets a few more comments than other markets but given that the US is the single biggest market for the Corolla, I'd say it is remarkably balanced - and I say that as an Australian who has a history of redressing overly US-centric articles. Other markets such as Australia, Europe and Asia get mentions as appropriate. The sales section was originally titled 'US sales' but I changed it to just 'Sales numbers' and shifted the 'US' to be just that column. This allows other editors such as yourself to add more columns for other markets. If you have such data then please feel free to add it.  Stepho  (talk) 03:24, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Article split?

I think the article should be split into different articles, because the term "corolla" is merely a name used on different cars worldwide. No, we shouldn't split them up by country, but by different models. Wikimann1234 11/8/11 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikimann1234 (talk • contribs) 02:53, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Could you be a bit more specific on how to split them? What would the proposed new article names be?  Stepho  talk  06:09, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
