If it was "only" the gas mileage, why are Corolla sales dropping?

I still don't like the 2005 - 2007 Focus models, and honestly as a tall person I hate the dash board lay out even more now then I did when I first saw it back in 2004, as it gouges into my right leg when driving it, I don't know how people can stand it. But I should mention after driving a few 2008's, I like them, it's easier for me to drive, and I don't have that same issue with the 2005-07 in the 2008 model, and I like the styling, minus all the crome of course, I honestly would like to see a wagon version, if they made them.

I think the reason why people are buying less and less Corollas is simple, everyone has one now, and you pay tonnes more for packaged options that come standard in alot of other cars on the market in the Corolla price bracket. Yes its borring to look at and even more boring to drive, but it's been on the market longer in this model generation then the last ones, as Toyota has admited that the 2009 model was too boring to compete against the Civic, right after it launched the newest one 2 years ago.
