Why is the Toyota Corolla not sold in the UK?

I am curious to know why the Toyota Corolla is not sold in the UK or does it have another name?

Hi F D,

It's simply because the UK market generally doesn't like compact four -door saloons. It's much more of a hatchback and estate market, so Toyota hasn't sold the Corolla in the UK since the Auris came along. It's the same reason you won't find a Renault Fluence or an Astra Saloon on sale there either.
