    Would it still be as cheap is they put a brand-new engine in it not put in any other Toyota?

    The Corolla already starts at about $25,000. That's a lot of money. If it ends up costing about the same or more than a Prius at around $30,000, especially if it's smaller, then maybe it wouldn't compete.
