I note that the new Corolla will be available with CVT (Continuously
Variable Transmission)
Is this a first for Toyota?

No, Toyota hybrid vehicles have CVT's.

Toyota used to sell All-Trac versions of the Corolla in the U.S., they were
not big sellers and were eventually discontinued.

True, but then again that was before the SUV craze and then high gas
prices. Besides, IMHO, it was an ugly vehicle.

I wish they'd revert & make a liftback version again... I've been wishing
that since I bought my 2nd Corolla in '90. I loved my '84 Corolla liftback!

I'd like to see All-Trac versions of all models from the Corolla on up, or
at least on wagons. I think they would offer a practical solution for
people who want the additional traction offered by all wheel or four wheel
drive without the added bulk that most SUV's add.

I'd like to see Corolla & Camry Wagons. I am in the process of replacing
my 1991 Corolla DX Wagon (just crossed 100K), and I am settling for a
RAV4 which is much less fuel efficient and has some (to me) sill things
like the power seat! Sheesh, like how often do I have to adjust that,
and all that extra bulk I am carrying along for the life of the car.
And 6 CD changer? One is more than enough for me.
No wonder mpgs suffer with all that extra stuff as part of the car.
I get 37mpg highway with my 15+ year old car, this one is rated at
30mpg highway, and that sounds perhaps optimistic.
It does have a bunch of safety features I do want (main reason for
getting a new car) such as airbags, ABS, and ESC, so in that respect
I guess the additional features will add some weight etc.
Didn't like the Matrix.

I think the popularity of SUV's pretty much killed the market for station
wagons ("estates" to our friends in Europe and "vans" to our friends in
Japan) in the U.S. The Corolla used to offered with the All-Trac drivetrain
in sedans and wagons, and the Camry was offered with All-Trac only in
sedans. Subaru pretty much has the small wagon market all to itself now,
even though their fuel mileage is not much better than small SUV's.
