TOYOTA recycles the Scion line
The launch of the iM compact hatchback en- ded up being too little, too late for the Scion brand, leading Toyota to abandon the line that debuted in the U.S. in 2003. However, the

to attract a younger demographic to the Toyo- ta brand. All versions are equipped with a 144-horsepower 2.0L 4-cylinder engine and an automatic continuous variation transmis- sion. The standard model comes generously equipped, with several driver assistance sys- tems including adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, lane exit alerts and automatic collision braking. The most recent Corolla sedan now features the same standard acces- sories. COROLLA IM The Corolla iM replaces the Matrix, which
was discontinued by Toyota in late 2014. This feature-packed hatchback boasts im- pressive credentials like an above-average charge capacity and plenty of storage spa- ce. The only model currently available comes fully equipped, with the only optional feature being a CVT gearbox. THE NEW 86 The latest 86 has enjoyed various cosmetic upgrades that allow it to further stand out from the defunct FR-S. Its 2.0L 4-cylinder engine gained 5 horsepower for a total output STI models, which also boast new 19-inch wheels and electric Recaro seats. Moreo- ver, both WRX models saw improvements to their suspension, Brembo brakes and all- wheel drive performance. MORE POWERFUL BRZ The BRZ received an engine upgrade, brin- ging its output up to 205 horsepower. Its shorter axle ratio offers improved accele- ration capacities and its body has also been updated. A bright yellow Inazuma edition of the BRZ — featuring high-performance sus- pension and brake systems — is now availa- ble for a limited time.

perior noise-cancelling properties. The new suspension confers a lower centre of gra- vity to the chassis, which in turn improves handling and enhances vehicle control during curve driving. The 2.0L direct injection 4-cy- linder Boxer engine has been perfected in order to optimize performance and reduce fuel consumption. The CVT transmission has also been reimagined and now inclu- des a 7-speed manual mode with switch- shifter. In addition to its dynamic new body design, the Impreza was also given the LED treatment for its headlights and turn signals. STYLE UPGRADES
The Subaru Impreza
The 2018 Legacy — touted as being quieter and more comfortable than ever before — was subjected to sty- listic upgrades and now features higher quality material throughout the inte- rior. Designers have also added a touch of fi erceness to the grille of the 2018 WRX and WRX
Subaru’s sales hit an all-time high last year, and the momentum has continued into 2017 with the launch of a newly redesigned Impre- za.
