The best-selling nameplate in automotive history, and one of the least dramatic: the Corolla’s whole reputation rests on doing the ordinary things (starting, running to schedule, holding its value) without incident.[1] It has been built continuously since 1966, through twelve generations and a shift from rear-wheel to front-wheel drive, without ever chasing segment leadership on power or style.
