Yes, the new Corolla is dearer I believe, they want $27k for a entry level manual Ascent sport on driveaway.
The Cerato sport which is mid spec is $22k driveaway with entry level from $20.5k driveaway.
and this is probably how cars will go as manufacturers move to higher profit SUVs,
Toyota still making good coin out of Corolla but yes, Hyundai I30 and Kia Cerato
have it surrounded.

This segment is now all about the lowest monthly payment, hard to have a discussion
when buyers in this segment are the ones most under the pump with economic stress,
more on monthly payments equals more financial stress/not meeting other payments.
