Toyota Auris concept: 2007 Corolla previewed?
Toyota today unveiled the Auris "Space Concept" at the Paris Motor Show. While the automaker has not publicly said it, the car is widely believed to preview the next-generation 2007/2008 Corolla. The concept features panoramic glass roof, wide shoulders and short overhangs, sports-styled 19-inch alloy wheels, freeform geometric lamps, prominent brake callipers and deep rear bumper with integrated chrome exhausts.

You might want to rethink the size of the image you are posting :idea:

Other than that I read the review of it this morning and seems to have a fair few good points. Doesn't look too terribly bad but not really my cup of tea.

Looks like a Yaris that ate too many Whopper value meals.

A cheap family car with 19 inch wheels? Stupid, how many average joes are gonna be able to fork out for tyres for the beast? As Snoozin said, just a fat looking Yaris. Definately not a pretty car.

i like it, apart from the panoramic roof thing. just begs for trouble in my eyes, also decreased body stiffness, so i guess that means no sports version.
Also if the standard comes with 19inch wheels then, what would a sports one come with, 22inch? :lol:

colour coded insets dont do it for me either, but i like the car, wouldnt mind owning one depending on engine specs

Apart from the nose, I like what I see. I like the interior as well, except for that strange diamond shaped pattern stuff.
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Looks kinda odd.....

It seems most new cars from Japan are getting uglier.

The fact that its called a AURIS makes me think its taking styling cues from both the Aurion and the Yaris
