They would have to triple its price and replace the driving seat with a huge, rusty spike for it not to sell.
The question is asked by Autoguide here. They are commenting on the radical new look of the 2014 Corolla:

The Corolla has been going since 1966 - just like me. This photo of a 1966 model is taken from this Mail story from last year reporting on the milestone achieved when the Corolla officially became the World's most popular car. They claim one was being sold every 40 seconds - I see no reason for that to change.

The new look might even attract in some other buyers who wouldn't have given a Toyota a second glance. The whole Toyota range is looking more stylish these days - but I think they are still a couple of years behind other manufacturers.
Like Honda for example.
When I first saw the new Corolla, I did think it looked like a Honda Civic:
Coincidence? Maybe that is what Autoguide should have been asking.
