    Would it still be as cheap is they put a brand-new engine in it not put in any other Toyota?

    The Corolla already starts at about $25,000. That's a lot of money. If it ends up costing about the same or more than a Prius at around $30,000, especially if it's smaller, then maybe it wouldn't compete.

    I bet the one in all black doesn't look as stupid as the one in gray and black, which literally looks like two different color cars were put together and the lines that creates look incompetent with no sense of flow or clarity to the design, just uncoordinated design chaos.
