magister, kind of off topic, but were you really offended by the south park movie?

 

"'kind of' off topic" he says

 

nah I found it funny I find Terence and Philip very funny

anyway I'm a French immigrant, you know "we are all immigrants", I'm in Canada for 5 years now, in Québec, and I like it

Also this is why I know pretty well the cars as in Europe there is Mitshubishi for years. I know especially the Pajero, the car that won the Paris-Dakar rally many times. And I watched also the WRC, Group A and also Group N, and I always wanted a kind of Group N car that is legal on the street, I can not afford an EVO or a WRX, so a OZ-Rally with some mods will do the trick

 

magister,
your car the corolla "touring edition" wtf is that??? It makes it sound good for a corolla....got pics?


edited: nm just checked it out on the net...it's a wagon......

 

the touring edition concist of a package, including rear wing, white gauges with outside thermometer, CD player, side skirts, and all the exterior parts are the same color than the car, including the sideview mirror, door handles, etc, also I had 185 tire instead of 175

I attach a pic of the white gauge, I only found a pic of the US model, as on the Canadian model, of course it's in km/h, but what's funny is I have the odometer on the speed gauge, and the outside temperature on the left gauge

 

a wagon?!? no it's a standard 4 doors corolla...

 

mah bad....so what's the specs? hp? torque? weight?


btw, hey how do you like the new corollas? they're better than before don't ya think?

yes! first they are really nicer!!! looks like a little Camry, very nice cars, but the price went up here in Canada, it's incredible... 3 years ago the corolla was something like 16000$CAD, now it's 20000$CAD
but they have 130hp now, and as for mitsu or honda/acura, Toyota has very good performance parts, available from TRD

But!!! the north america corolla are ****, really, in europe you can get a corolla with 6speed manual, or automatic with a +/- on the sterring wheel... also there's a 1.8L 192hp engine available, and all models have front/rear disks, not drums... also I think a AWD version is available. and the look of european corolla is really better/nicer than the north american one... I asked Toyota US why the european version is better (192hp, disk/disk, 6speed MT, etc) but never had an answer... I may ask toyota japan about this

 

magister,
thanks for all the info.

if the US had a 192hp version of the corolla, that would be the next craze for cars to get...that is very comparable to that of an ITR.

 

yup, check http://www.toyota.co.uk to see info about this car
