2014 Corolla to Have CVT, 6-speed Manual, and Higher HP Valvematic Engine

Looks like the spec's were released by Jason Lancaster and he had to take whatever info down, but not before www.autospies.com got the info....

The 2014 Corolla order guide is out, and the big changes are:

- The 4speed automatic is all but dead - only the base model will offer it

- A new "Eco" trim level will replace the SE trim, and it will feature a higher HP engine with "valvematic" technology that will be faster AND more fuel efficient.


- There will be some snazzy new luxury features available, including Softex leather, navigation, and push button start.

- There will also be some funky new colors available, including something called 4Evergreen.

The addition of a Valvematic 1.8L and a 6-speed manual could be very exciting. Supposedly, the 6-speed is fun to drive, and while the new engine won't be outrunning a Focus ST or anything, it's going to be "snappy".
