The big news is the new-for-2005 Corolla XRS, a tuner-car steroid variation that takes the 1.8-litre four-cylinder discovered on other Corollas yet pumps it up by 40 horsepower. It's mated specifically to a close-coupled, six-speed manual transmission taken from the Celica GT-S, and also includes 16-inch Michelin efficiency summertime tires, four-wheel disc brakes with ABDOMINAL MUSCLE, slim yet encouraging sporting activity seats, a skirt package, a power sunroof, sport-tuned suspension, as well as for some reason known only to Toyota engineers, an exceptionally frustrating and also exclusive-to-XRS caution system that beeps inside (however not outside) the car whenever it's taken into opposite. The company depends on us with all that go-fast efficiency things, but does not believe we know when we're backing up?

Still, the price distinctions are slim sufficient that it'll probably boil down to individual preference.
