I think Toyota delayed it b/c the new Civic scared them - enough so that they scrapped a new vehicle launch (if you recall Toyota had the redesign set up for this year but after the Civic's sales success [ but according to pipe smoker OHCdx failure ] Toyota made the announcement). The current Corrollas are selling as well as it is noted as they have a 50-60 day supply on lots (which is getting bad) and Corrolla's have some big incentives on them, plus Toyota supplys cars to fleets and the Corolla/Matrix is a popular car for that.
