Bye Toyota Corolla - Welcome Toyota Auris

Link to the Article

If you dont wanna read....here is a summary from the article. Kinda ironic for them to change the name which has been around for over 40 years.

"So when Toyota comes to launch its new mid-sized car at the Paris Motor Show later this week, this time it won't be badged as a Corolla. Instead it's going to be called "Auris", a Latin word that means ear. Not quite as nice as a flower. It has a hard act to follow"

Toyota makes great cars, reliable and such, but other than their Lexus and Scion line, they have the most boring looking cars ever!
