What happens when you use a Detroit solution to solve a Japanese problem.
From the July 1975 issue of Car and Driver.The 'Longer, Lower, Wider' philosophy of car design is up for grabs. Detroit has reluctantly had to give up that approach or suffocate in its own padded bulk—and who should take over the well-used ploy but Toyota, the company we've come to know as small-car specialists.As incriminating evidence, we have the 1975 Corolla—longer, wider and a prime example of Detroit's old gambit of model maturation.
It's enough to make the Corolla SR-5 the best-handling Toyota ever. Since there is no grinding understeer at the limit , steering effort needed is moderate. You can pitch the SR-5 into a tight bend, get way over your head, let the tail swing wide and hold it there with your foot flat on the throttle. The car hangs on like a racer, its body roll well in check. Since there is plenty of front tire grip left in reserve, you can dive toward the inside for a quick pass if necessary.
