2009 Toyota Corolla
Price: $15,350 - $18,860
Fuel economy: 35 Hwy, 26 City
Deal: $1,000 rebate
Facing a crisis of its own this year - expecting its first operating loss since 1950 - Toyota has been hit as hard as just about any automaker by slow sales. Not that the Japanese giant is about to go belly up anytime soon, but Toyota's year-end sales event is getting an extra push to try to make up some lost ground.
Among the benefits for Toyota customers is putting a rare - for Toyota - cash rebate on the brand-new version of the popular Corolla.
Toyota redesigned the world's best-selling car this year. Always a worthwhile economy model, the Corolla looks a little better dressed now, a little richer than its budget price tag.
