• Toyota’s 2014 Corolla has arrived, and consumers clearly are taking notice. One of the stalwarts of not only the compact car segment, but also of the industry as a whole, the 2014 Corolla has taken on much bolder styling. The all-new model year is priced at $16,800 for the base model with manual transmission. The compact car segment has waned over the last year in consumer traffic as midsize sedans and compact CUVs have risen, but the Corolla and Mazda3 redesigns may help renew interest in the segment.
