Here’s an interest fact: if you bought a Toyota Corolla last month, its possible that yours could have the 40 millionth Corolla ever sold, a good opportunity for the automaker to thank all of you for decades of support and making the Corolla plate the best-seller.
“American’s love affair with the Corolla began in 1968 and the passion is still burning,” said Jack Hollis, Toyota vice president of Marketing. “Always the poster-child for Toyota's legendary quality, the Corolla is all-new for 2014 with expressive styling, a premium interior, and terrific driving dynamics. It's built for the way we live today and the places we go. From urban chic to family road trip, at 40 million we’re just getting started!”

Toyota started the Corolla production in November 1966 in Japan, a medium-sized vehicle designed to meet the changing needs of Japanese commuters in the period. Today, 11 generations later, over 1.1 million Corollas are produced each year. Every hour 125 new Corollas drive out of factories in the US, Brazil, Canada, India, Japan, Pakistan, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Vietnam and Venezuela combined.
