In August 2013, the 40 millionth Toyota Corolla ever sold found its owner. The number is impressive, but the real story is the generations of fans which have helped make the Corolla the best-selling nameplate in automotive history.
Toyota Corolla production began in November 1966 at the Takaoka Japan factory and has been going strong ever since. The Corolla has progressed through 11 generations, with over 1.1 million Corollas produced each year and sold in over 150 countries. It’s no wonder that the Corolla is known as “the World’s Car.”
The Corolla has also stayed at the forefront of features and technology over the years, being among the first car lines with standard rear back-up lights and today offering standard features like LED headlights, Bluetooth, and the Toyota Star Safety System™. With a Corolla hybrid on the way, this model is continuing to demonstrate the qualities which have made it great through the years.
You can learn about the history of the Corolla at http://www.toyota-global.com/showroom/vehicle_heritage/corolla/. At DCH Freehold Toyota, we encourage you to visit us and experience the Corolla for yourself. You’ll be joining the legions of happy drivers who have helped make this model number one.
