The drivers said it was much better when they where eventualy allowed to put the ST205 GT-Four running gear under the Corolla. Hmm, they might be able to see out of it but what about the corners? I have heard from someone in the suspension industry that the rally team have had trouble getting it to handle due to the fact that this new generation Corolla is like other most other small car these days (eg the Peogeot 307) in that it has that revolting minivan-on-stilts design. Still-my old SX hatch was lower but that didn't stop it from handling like an out of control marshmallow doing a permanent impression of an evil supermarket trolley. Toyota don't even sell a similar 4wd/turbo Corolla as this ST205'ed rally car in Japan, so this is another tyipcal cynical PR exercise from Toyota Oz. Why don't they just rally a Caldina anyway, if that is still sold in Japan? It might arouse local interest and they might decide to import something decent for a change.
