Check out what the 2011 Corolla has to offer!

Already the top-selling compact car in America, the Toyota Corolla has been refreshed for the 2011 model year and looks ready to defend its crown against the best the competition has to offer.

The changes add another level of sportiness to the Corolla’s athletic appearance, which is further emphasized by a new 16-inch wheel design for the Corolla S. At the same time, much attention to detail was spent in tailoring the Corolla’s exterior for reduced wind noise.
