That front end makes me think of the old Mazda Proteges front end with the wide open black grille with the logo in the center. Otherwise looks like a slightly updated version of the current one without any major changes.
At least theres a nav screen there to take a little away from the boring look of the interior. A friend of mine owns an 06 Corolla and it literally has to be the most boring designed car Ive ever rode in. I understand they're mostly appliance cars but damn I would choose a Cobalt, Civic, or Mazda3 before ever looking at one of these.

*Ducks head*, we have a corolla, it's a 99... my fiance drives it (Ok I drive it too when I don't want to drive my gas sucking trucks 
). I can honestly say its THE MOST BORING (and slow 
) vehicle I've ever owned. In all honesty, I doubt the general public could tell the difference between the 2007 and 2008 at a glance. Even the interior looks essentially the same! (and I'm comparing the pictures to what I recall our '99 to look like.)

This car isn't ugly at all. It is a nice looking car, just REALLY REALLY boring
Since the 90's I think all Corollas have been "good looking" cars, just really boring.
I find the cobalt to be stylish and sporty looking, but hey, that's me

You could very easily slap a Hyundai badge on it and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. It makes the Honda Accord look sporty.
