Arrow Toyota unveils the 2009 Corolla


Toyota unveils the 2009 Corolla

Toyota Motor Corp. on Wednesday unveiled the 2009 Corolla, the 10th generation of the reliable subcompact sedan that became a best-seller after being introduced to the US market four decades ago.

The car was introduced in Japan in 1966 and crossed the Pacific two years later. Since then, more than 30 million have been sold in 142 countries. The new model, shown at the Specialty Equipment Market Association trade show, was designed to be sportier, with a larger interior, wider chassis and a more economical and powerful 1.8-liter engine, the company said. The car is expected to get 8.7 liters per 100 kilometers in the city and 6.7 liters on the highway under new Environmental Protection Agency standards, Toyota said. It puts out 132 horsepower, six more than the previous model. Tougher standards make it appear to be less fuel efficient than the 2008 model, which is estimated at 28/37 mpg with a manual transmission, but the reverse is true, the company said.
