A TURBO Corolla with attitude? Sounds unlikely doesn't it, but that's what the Sportivo is - a locally developed, hot version of the venerable budget buy which has transported generations of Australians. Toyota says the Sportivo is the most powerful Corolla ever sold here, and it's also the most expensive, getting close to such luminaries of the "hot four" field as the Subaru Impreza WRX and Honda Integra Type R. Toyota is very clear that the Sportivo is a toe in the water exercise, however, with just 110 built for sale.
