The Corolla Cross, a best selling small SUV from Toyota gets some light updates for 2026 including new styling on both the gas and hybrid models. 


Normally we provide the transcript from the video, cleaned up by AI and edited by a staffer, but technical issues are causing trouble. We'll update later.

      Every Volga owner is hoping desperately to move up to a Land Cruiser someday.

    The Corolla Cross is one of the most boring vehicles IMO but given their strategy, the hybrid is poised to have the best fuel economy among its competition. Toyota isn't treating Hybrids as special anymore

  • Normie I don't travel for either work or pleasure. Since retiring I don't have to do that for work and where is the pleasure in spending lots of money only to find other places full of humans?
  • Big Al from Oz Gidday mites it yar man Big Alan from Oz here wildin out with me boys in the outback if yar brave enough for them terrible airports then you should come over where we are and be ready for the greatest adventure of a lifetime I reckon
  • Redapple2 Read my magazine and book. Eat drink and relax in the Admirals Club. It really takes the sting out of travelling. I aint no jive turkey.
  • Redapple2 If you have a sane car (one that averages 24 mpg) a $1 /gal increase costs you $41/month more. The average person spends $380/ month eating out.Can I learn anything from these facts? Hum. Give me a sec............
  • Redapple2 I realized the average person is stupid. 1---- i MUST have a vehicle 2 x as big as i really need (a massive pig up truck, or Tahoe pig) 2----- I am entitled to cheap gas. ENTITLED. It is the end of the friggin world as It has been alluded to above. But you see, gas comes from the earth in far away places. Sometimes events interupt the marketplace. I believe this war will last a short time and the markets will revert to lower levels. It s time this unstated - sotovoce war Iran has had with seemingly everybody, is ended. Before they have nukes. This is clear even to a child. (they already have near ICBM with the strike on Diego Garcia) Outside of CAL, gas this week averaged ~~ $3.85. (CA has insane taxes and gas is refined mostly - out the country (Japan, or trans shipped thru carribean ports)). >>>>>>>>The national average (after inflation adj.) for gas was HIGHER THAN THIS FROM 2005 THROUGH 2015. (except fot 2 years that were a tad lower than the bar i set above). Grow up please
