All-new is a much abused phrase when it comes to cars.  Car makers sometimes slap on new head- and taillights, change the wheels and market everything old as new again.  Some of our "new" models are actually 5-8 years old and badly in need of a change. 

Just in time, Honda and Toyota have released true all-new Civic and Corolla with changes to the engine, cabin, suspension--pretty much everything.  Don't rush to your Toyota and Honda dealer just yet; the 2001 Corolla and 2001 Civic has just been launched in Japan and the U.S.A. in the past few weeks, but they won't be here yet until next year, at the earliest.  Expect the new Civic to be here by January! 

So what can we expect from the latest iterations of these perennial bestsellers?
