Toyota sold 40,000,000th Corolla
Toyota Thanks Customers for Making The Corolla the Best-Selling Nameplate Ever
Corolla Is World Leader in Sales with 40 Million Sold
Torrance, Calif., Sept. 5, 2013 - If you bought a Toyota Corolla last month, your new car just might be the 40 millionth Corolla ever sold. It's not about the number, but the number sums it up: Happy customers have made Corolla the best-selling automotive nameplate in history.
The Corolla was originally designed to meet the changing needs of Japanese commuters in the mid-1960s. When the first Corolla rolled off the line, many automakers offered basic safety features as optional. The Corolla was among the first car lines to include rear back-up lights as a standard feature.
And Toyota's history of evolving the Corolla to meet customers' needs remains alive today. The base L Model of the new Corolla comes standard with LED headlights, Bluetooth, eight airbags and Toyota's Star Safety System™. For those families who are looking for better fuel efficiency, Toyota recently announced upcoming production of a Corolla hybrid. Toyota's commitment to adding new standard features to the affordably-priced Corolla over time has helped ensure that families around the world continue to choose it more than any other nameplate.
Hollis continued, "As we celebrate this 40 millionth milestone, we are grateful to all those who have owned and loved their Corollas for the past 47 years and proud o fthe generations of Corolla Chief Engineers for their enduring vision."

Good for them. That kind of sales success is due to the fact that they kept adapting and improving their product through the times and keeping a recognized nameplate instead of killing it. Too bad they'll put a crappy and "pampers like" cvt transmission in the 2014 MY.

Believe when it goes out and you'll have to dish out $4500+ for a replacement one. There are no parts to fix them. You've been giving it timely oil changes, so it has lasted, but when it dies, it's a throwaway.
