I thought Corolla owners were people who view cars as appliances and are generally not into cars or driving, but just want reliability from point A to B.
That's why I am a Corolla fan! Nothing means more to me than reliability. Corollas have LOTS of fans. It's the top selling car in the world.
bad news to Corolla fans: only one of you is left in this club, since the other one decided to get a Kia.
Really, Corolla has fans???
I am convinced 99.999% of owners either hate/don't care about cars and drive one because they have to; and heard that Corolla is a cheap reliable car (aka appliance by people who really like driving cars).
In other words, the Corolla has lots of fans as lots of people primarily care about having a reliable, cost effective car that does the job compared with a smaller number that care about having a car that due to its upfront costs, high incidence of mechanical failures, and costly maintenance gives them a modicum of exclusivity that the Corolla does not have.

What's with you and appliances. You act like a plain jane simple reliable high sales volume car isn't desirable. Corolla doesn't claim to be anything else. All other car manufacturers would kill to have a model that sells in the kind of volume the Corolla does.Toyota doesn't market it as an M3 killer.

We must be the exception and I have posted extensively on this.
Dad passed away and Mom was in need of a car... from his hospital bed he told me to make sure she gets her car... my parents NEVER had a new car.
In short we placed a factory order for a new 2001 Corolla S with sunroof and spoiler...
I wrote a letter to the president of Toyota and we received an invitation to come to spend the day at the factory watching her car being built... from shell to driving off the line.
That day rates as one of the all time highlights... 5,000 people at NUMMI and everyone knew this was one special Corolla... many of the line workers signed the engine compartment as the car went down the line.
16 years later the car has been flawless... not a single issue and Mom is approached all time by people wanting to buy it...
Great car built by great people and the 40 mpg coming home from Tahoe ain't bad either!
