Let me take a look right now...The front indeed does have a hole too! Except here the fender is completely closed off, and it's a hole in the wheel spat itself. However the location of the hole is conveniently in a place where it allows air to hit the brakes too.
I went and groped some other cars too and found nothing of the sort. I'm almost waiting for some kind of press statement about the 2014 Corolla's track readiness lol.

I suppose the Corolla doesn't come in manual transmission anymore so this might be a necessary feature. But that said, I looked at a parked Porsche and it doesn't have said rear brake cooling channel, despite having a lot of weight over the rear, and being designed to be nearly track ready from the factory.
