Being stuck behind Tercels/Corollas is my pet peeve, too. I thought I was alone in this particular obsession!
The cars are pretty gutless, I imagine, but really it's who the car appeals to. In Vancouver the Corolla's chief market is mostly conservative asian or elderly drivers, as I think to them a Toyota Corolla represents value for dollar. If it's gold or silver I'd put the likelyhood of it being an asian driver at 70%. Raise that to 95% if there's also a box of Kleenex in the back window,
unless the Kleenex has a cozy in which case the likelihood it's elderly people increases.
Seriously, what is it with Corollas and Kleenex? And why in the back window? If you sneeze lunch all over the windshield and it's dripping on your shirt do you pull over in order to retrieve tissuey rescue from the back seat? Or maybe it's only kept in the back window for the relatives, and the ultra-plush-with-lotion box is in the front between the seats. Hmm, will have to look into that, though that's hard to see as I'm passing them in the travel lane.
Know before you label me a rascist ass that I've paid attention to the Corolla demographics in Vancouver, as my wife would wearily attest. The numbers don't lie.
