Toyota Corolla (1967 to 2007)

The Toyota Corolla is a line of subcompact and compact cars manufactured by Toyota. Introduced in late 1966, the Corolla was the best-selling car worldwide by 1974 and has been one of the best-selling cars in the world since then. In 1997, the Corolla became the best selling nameplate in the world, surpassing the Volkswagen Beetle. The Corolla has been produced over multiple generations, with the most representative being the 2nd gen (E20), built between 1970 and 1978, and the 5th generation (E80), built between 1983 and 1988. Although it continues in production today, at Classic.com we currently track up to the 9th generation of the model (E120/E130). The Corolla spawed the more recent performance focused GR Corolla, which is treated here as a separate model.
