Supongo que el cambio (si es que se produce) afectará a todos los paÃses europeos...

Adios al Corolla?

End of the line for Corolla
What's in a name? Quite a lot if it's the best-selling car in the world.

Name game
Next Toyota hatch will not be called Corolla when it arrives in UK
ToyÂota has decided its next compact family hatch won't be called Corolla, we can exclusively reveal.
It's an amazing decision to drop the badge, as the first Corolla went on sale in 1966, and the Japanese firm has sold a staggering 30 million examples across the globe. That makes it the world's most popular model range, even though sales in the UK have struggled to match class leaders such as the Ford Focus.
To emphasise what a radical departure the next model will represent, bosses have decided a name change is needed. There's no confirmation of what the new badge will be, but ToyÂota is hoping it will represent a similar shift in perception to that achieved by Ford when it dropped the Escort badge in favour of the Focus. The new Toyota will go on sale in the UK early next year. A four-door version will keep the Corolla name - although it won't make it here - but the three and five-door hatchbacks will be rebadged.
Designers are promising a radical new look both inside and out for the replacement model, as Toyota follows the lead of Honda's latest Civic in trying to attract younger buyers.

Hombre.... la verdad es que tiene "sentido", como ya se ha comentado en este foro, tienen que hacer un cambio radical para competir con el civic, y por normal general, de un corolla a otro ( generaciones ) el cambio era grande pero no radical, manteniendo las formas. Ahora se han dado cuenta que el nuevo civic les va a quitar terreno si siguen por la linea " conservadora" de una generacion a otra, pero lo de cambiar el nombre, no sé si creermelo. El articulo tiene muy buena base, vamos que puede ser fiable, pero perder el nombre del "corolla", con mas de 30 millones de ventas desde 1966 igual Toyota no piensa cortar de raiz uno de los coches miticos de la marca, ya veremos.
P.D. Gracias Dorian por el articulo y Bienvenido.

Corolla es un mito, y aparte de un nombre, tiene una filosofía. Es conservador, es para hombres y mujeres, para jovenes y mayores, es equilibrado en todo su conjunto, siempre ha sido así y siempre lo será, no creo que cambien ahora su planteamiento y saquen un coche más "radical", el corolla va más a por el astra y golf, más que a por el civic.
Ha quién le guste un japo se compra el civic o el corolla, y hay mucha gente que no le gusta el civic, pues a por el corolla........bueno, tambien está el mazda, jajaja.
Y por supuesto, no creo que cambien el nombre.
