It has happened before. e.g. there was no 2007 model for the Mazda Tribute, and Olds skipped 2000 for the Aurora. Seems to happen when a major change occurs.

but this change was not even major.....the car looks more like a minor facelift rather than a major overhaul.

Buying an 09 now will have better resale value

but that resale value is eclipsed by the savings of buying the older corolla. Its around 2k in savings. In the end though, it probably does even out.
