2014 Toyota Corolla, Presenting Motor Trend on MSN

2014 Toyota Corolla First Look Now Less Bland, With Standard LED Headlights Despite criticism for being plain and appliance-like basic, the Toyota Corolla continues to sell in extraordinary volumes, always landing at or near the top of its class in monthly sales. The current generation is hardly distinguishable from the model that came before it, seemingly providing only the bare minimum needed to satisfy compact buyers. It doesn't move the needle, but it certainly moves metal off dealer lots. With the new 2014 Corolla, which just made its debut in Los Angeles, can Toyota silence its critics while still appeasing the masses? Even Toyota admits the Corolla doesn't have the best reputation for style, saying the new car's exterior and interior styling will "challenge the pre-conceptions about Corolla." That is no exaggeration, as the 2014 Corolla draws heavily from the aggressive-looking Furia concept, sporting its sleeker lines and sharp, eye-catching details. Toyota dubs the concept's look "Iconic Dynamism," and the design language looks like it translated well for the production version. Helping to improve the Corolla's proportions is a wheelbase stretched by 3.93 inches, with overall length growing by nearly as much. Overall width increases by 0.63 inch, while height is raised by 0.39 inch. READ THE FULL STORY 2014 Toyota Corolla First Impressions?

June 11, 2013 What Is Great Customer Service and How Can It Help Your Small Business? By definition, customer service is what you offer an individual before, during and after a transaction. While this concept seems simple enough, truly exceptional customer service is getting harder to find. Why?

The Big Test: 2013/2014 Full-Size Sedans

This Week: Full-size sedan comparison, 2014 Chevy Malibu, 2014 BMW X5, 2014 Acura MDX      NEW CARS USED CARS ROAD TESTS AUTO SHOWS FUTURE NEWS VIDEOS FEATURES BLOGS FORUMS WOT

The Big Test: 2013/2014 Full-Size Sedans Chevrolet Impala LTZ vs. Chrysler 300S vs. Ford Taurus SEL vs. Kia Cadenza vs. Toyota Avalon Ltd Is there a more peculiar automotive segment than that of the entry-level, full-size sedan? Loved by comfort-seeking retirees, client-shuttling businessmen, and family-hauling parents alike, the full-size sedan means many things to many people. To us, the full-size segment should mean comfort, interior space, and lots of features. As a step up from the popular midsize market, these sedans are aimed squarely at those who can't quite afford (or don't want to pay for) a full-fledged luxury platform. The last time we visited this space, we pitted the Toyota Avalon (the very same one we have here, in fact) against the new Hyundai Azera and the aging Nissan Maxima. The result of that comparison was a photo finish between the Hyundai and the Toyota, with the Avalon winning by just a grille. Now, we've invited the Avalon back to take on two brand-new-to-market challengers, the Chevrolet Impala and Kia Cadenza, along with two recent large refreshes, the Chrysler 300S and the Ford Taurus. The winner will need to display superiority through multiple criteria, including ride comfort, interior refinement, performance, fuel economy, safety, and value. Full-size sedan shoppers are about as concerned with the fun-to-drive aspect as they are Justin Bieber, so we'll put our normal enthusiast perspectives aside for this one and concentrate on what makes a full-size sedan so desirable to so many people.
