Since its introduction in 1966, the Corolla has become one of Toyota’s most well liked lines. This line of compact cars by the japanese vehicle manufacturer has established itself as one of the Earth’s top selling vehicles. Actually, since 1997, the Corolla has been the planet’s best selling nameplate, with over 35 million units sold since 1996 to 2007. It is claimed that for the past forty years, there is a Corolla car being sold somewhere in the world each forty seconds. This recognition has experienced a lot of redesigning and various generations of improvements, as well as changes in the taste of buyers in the vehicle market. The Corolla name is Latin for’small crown,’ which is supporter to Toyota’s tradition of naming its flagship brands after the word’crown’ and differentiations of it. So, there have been brands ranging from Toyota Crown, Toyota Corona ( Latin for crown ), and Toyota Camry ( Anglicized transcription of the japanese word for crown, kanmuri ).
Toyota Corollas have been manufactured in all continents of the planet – in Australia ( production has been ceased however ), in the East ( in Japan, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey ), in South America ( in Brazil and Venezuela ), Africa ( in South Africa ), Northern America ( in Canada and the united states ), and Europe ( Derbyshire in the UK ). {However ,} production of Corollas in the Toyota facility in Freemont, California is scheduled to stop by March 2010. There have been 10 generations of Corollas made, with the latest generation introduced in 2006. The Corolla brand has been abandoned in Southeast Asian states since the ninth generation, and that market has utilised the brand Toyota Altis since. In the US, sales figures have been stable, still even reaching above 350,000 units sold in the country in 2008, in spite of a depression. Figures peaked in 2006, when more than 380,000 Corollas were sold in the US alone.
