Toyota has finally announced pricing for the 2009 Matrix and Corolla that made their unceremonious debut back in November at the SEMA show in Las Vegas. Both models get a bump in their sticker, with the Corolla costing $845 more than the outgoing 2008 model, while the Matrix increases by $680.
The base Corolla, whose nomenclature has been changed from CE to "Standard", starts at $15,250 sporting a five-speed manual, while an automatic model will set you back another $800. The LE and XLE models start at $16,650 and $17,550, respectively, both equipped with an automatic tranny and the 132-hp, 1.8-liter four. Care to upgrade a bit? You can now get the new 2.4-liter four producing 158 hp and 162 lb.-ft. of torque in the XRS version starting at $18,760 with a manual or $19,950 with an automatic that Toyota notes can be "shift sequentially."
The Matrix, which Toyota claims redesigned the crossover segment, but in reality is just a five-door Corolla, comes in three flavors: Standard, S and XRS. You can equip the warmed-over hatch with either the same 1.8-liter or 2.4-liter four found in the Corolla, mated to either a five-speed manual or a four- or five-speed automatic. All-wheel-drive will be an option on S-trim models that will come standard with the 2.4-liter four-pot and "Super ECT" four-speed gearbox. Pricing for the standard matrix starts at $16,190 if you row the gears yourself, while the max'd out XRS models shoots up to $21,850 with an auto 'box. None of the prices listed above include the $650 destination fee.
All the details and trim levels are available in Toyota's press release after the jump.

Not bad for Corolla considering it'll come with either the 1.8L (4 speed auto) or the 2.4L (5 speed auto). The 1.8L will have 132hp @ 6,000rpm and 128 lb-ft of torque @ 4,400rpm.
The 2.4L will pump out 158hp @ 6,000rpm and 162 lb-ft of torque @ 4,000rpm. O yeah the 2.4 will come with an optional manual tranny too! Not too shabby! the mpg isn't that bad either! 21/
Price: $15,250-19,950

Matrix shares the same motor fyi. It would be nice to have a peppy v6 and they don't look that bad either!
Price: $16,190-21,850
MPG for the matrix:
1.8L is 26/32 for manual and 25/31 for auto.
2.4L is 21/28 for manual and 21/29 for auto.
