Since it first came into manufacture in 1968, the Toyota Corolla has built a reputation of being a reliable vehicle and has sold more than 30 million models worldwide. Now in its 10th generation, the Corolla continues to offer a stable driving option that also integrates style and safety.
History of the Corolla
The first generation Corolla was the smallest vehicle Toyota had ever unleashed on the American market and sold for approximately $1,700. By the time the fourth generation Corolla arrived in 1979, Toyota had replaced the old leaf spring system with a revolutionary coil spring alternative and eventually moved to front-wheel drive format in 1984.
Continual Improvement
The Corolla range continued to develop throughout the 1990s and the generic size classification moved from subcompact to compact with the introduction of sedan and wagon variations. By the turn of the millennium, only the sedan remained in a lightweight aluminum form that boasted 120 horsepower. This was twice the power of the original Corolla that was released in 1968.
New Corolla Models
The latest Toyota Corolla released in 2010 retails at a base price of $15,450 as of 2010 and comes with a series of luxury additions as standard, including aerodynamic halogen headlamps and color coded body spoilers. A range of optional extras are available, including integrated DVD navigation and a keyless entry system.
