A Brief Toyota Corolla History: Generations of Success

By the mid-1960s, countries around the world were beginning to settle back into peace and adding a little comfort and convenience to their lives. Car ownership was soaring. Eiji Toyoda and Toyota Motors introduced the Toyota Corolla in 1966, in the midst of a very receptive period of car ownership in Japan. In Latin, corolla loosely translates to ”small crown,” or ”crown of flowers.” It symbolized the hope that the Corolla would blossom in the hearts of buyers. It lived up to its name, meeting many of the needs of Japanese families at the time, namely a desire for fuel economy, plentiful seating, compact size, and dependability. It quickly became the best selling car in Japan, and by 1974 grew to become the best selling car worldwide. Even today it remains in the top five. By July 2013, Toyota sold more than 40 million Corollas with sales showing no signs of slowing in the near future.

Africa’s Choice: The Continent’s Top Toyota Models

“Sell this? We wouldn’t dare!”, says Mr. Mureithi, a primary school teacher in Central Kenya. “It has been in the family for more than 15 years now, and it still runs as good as new,” speaking of his old blue Toyota Hilux pickup. In Africa, those lucky enough to own cars treat them like heirlooms.

Toyota Makes the Best-Selling Cars In New Zealand

Take a look around, and you’ll probably see a lot of Toyota vehicles on the road. This really should be no surprise, since Toyota makes some of the most-reliable vehicles. This means they stay on the road longer. Not everyone likes buying a new car every three years, or making expensive repairs every few months. In New Zealand, Toyota, including the Lexus luxury line, has been the best-selling brand for 26 years running. For 2013, Toyota / Lexus captured 21.4% of sales, just under the combined sales of Ford and Holden.

In fact, three of the top six best-selling cars in New Zealand are Toyotas, including the Toyota Corolla, in its sixth year at number one, the Toyota HiLux, now 32 years as the best-selling commercial vehicle, and the Toyota RAV4, in sixth place. Ford Ranger came in third, but just barely, Suzuki Swift came in fourth, and Holden Commodore came in fifth in total vehicle sales for New Zealand in 2013.
