My guess is everyone bought Civic's instead.

Hmmm good question, my neighbour used to have Corolla's all the time, but some idiot hit her and wrote it off about 3 weeks after the launch of the Auris. As they no longer made the Corolla the insurance company (esure) would not replace the car like for like and instead gave her a new Yaris instead
but thats because that's what they said the corolla was worth (bit of a hit in less than 6 monts of ownership!)
I've convinced a guy at my work that the Civic is the car he wants. I just had to show him the interior and he was sold! He took one look at the Corolla and Auris and said they looked too plain! At least he didn't say the Civic looks like it has been designed by someone who loves cheese triangles! (like my Mum thinks)
