“The 2014 Corolla’s exterior form tapers towards the front and rear of the vehicle to emphasize the wheel arches, with a longer, faster sloping roofline that blends into a shorter rear deck to lend the sedan a sportier image,” said Toyota when describing the all-new 2014 Corolla in a recent press release.

The newly redesigned 2014 Toyota Corolla has athletic character that the 15- or 17-inch alloy wheel options compliment tremendously.
