The Toyota Dream Build Challenge is one of our most anticipated happenings leading up to the 2013 SEMA Auto Show->ke216.

This year, a quartet of new models are headed to SEMA->ke216 and all of them are rowdy, crazy, and all sorts of awesome.

One of them is the Toyota Corolla, the Japanese automaker's->ke88 compact sedan. Or what's left of what looks like the Corolla.

Called the Corolla Crusher, the vehicle is the official entry of BMX rider Drew Bezanzon. It sure looks like a program developed by somebody with an affinity for bicycles as shown by a pair of them sitting comfortably on the bike rack in the roof. Look closely at the front and rear of the Corolla and you'll notice that Bezanzon installed grind rails on both components, keeping the BMX spirit alive and in full bloom.

Speaking of full bloom, this is what the Corolla is going to look like if you infused it with an active sport spirit. The radical purple colors, mixed in with spicy graphics highlighted by the headphones-wearing skull - an ode to Skullcandy - speaks to the kind of attitude this Corolla has in truckloads.

Moving back to those bikes, you can actually take both down to open the trunk, at which point, you'll see nesting locations for bike tools, plus a pair of mountable speakers with light bars, the latter of which are connected to a ball-busting audio system from Skullcandy. Custom iPad integration controls the interior features, including music out of upgraded speakers shaped in the Skullcandy logo, while the front seat headrests carry 3-to-1 scale representations of Skullcandy’s newest Crusher headphones.

2014 Toyota Corolla

The all-new 2014 Toyota Corolla is a welcome replacement for the drab and rather boring 2013 model. A familiar 1.8-liter, in-line four-cylinder produces 132 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 128 pound-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm, and is mated to either a four-speed automatic, a six-speed manual, or Toyota’s new CVTi-S.

Added to the returning L, LE, and S trim levels is an LE Eco trim that includes a nifty new engine management system called Valvematic. The new system works to vary the amount the intake valves open to specifically control the volume of fresh air entering the combustion chambers. LE Eco Corollas get an extra 3 mpg over the standard 1.8-liter and make an extra eight horsepower.

Pricing for the 2014 Corolla starts at $16,800 and increases to $20,100 for a well-optioned LE Eco.
