Japan
This model was not as successful compared to previous series due to a rising yen and the beginning of the collapse of the Japanese asset price bubble driven recession in Japan, blunting demand.
The standard Corolla model range included the 3-door hatchback Corolla FX, 4-door sedan and 5-door station wagon models. Also returning in this generation was the two-door coupé Corolla Levin. A 4WD variant of the sedan and station wagon was also available with a 1.6 liter gasoline or 2.0 liter diesel engine.
The 4-door "pillared hardtop" Corolla Ceres and Sprinter Marino were introduced in 1992. They bore no real exterior resemblance but feature the chassis and most of the engine range of the standard Corollas, and used the Levin/Trueno dashboard. Minor face lift changes were introduced in May 1993 these included a new grille, a reconfiguration of the rear lamps and various bits of trim and garnish.
The E100 sedan and hatchbacks introduced in 1991 lasted until the introduction of the E110 in May 1995. "Van" and "Business Wagon" models were basically stripped out wagons with leaf-sprung solid axle rear suspensions. Business Wagons typically had slightly higher equipment levels than simpler vans. Both versions continued to serve the commercial vehicle market well into 2002, outliving the mainstream E110 models in Japan.

Famous quotes containing the word japan:
“I do not know that the United States can save civilization but at least by our example we can make people think and give them the opportunity of saving themselves. The trouble is that the people of Germany, Italy and Japan are not given the privilege of thinking.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
