Toyota Corolla, World's Best Selling car

The Toyota Corolla is one of the oldest names in automobiles history. The car is so old that my grandfather used to drive one and his father too :P. This car was first introduced in 1966 and became the World's best selling car in 1997. More than 40 million units of Toyota Corolla have been sold over the years. The reason of these awesome and extraordinary figures is because the Toyota Corolla has always been the affordable, reliable, durable, comfortable car and has carried all the latest features a car needed in its time. 

Since the car is manufactured in most of the countries, different countries have  different models and different types and technologies. Like in Pakistan Toyota Corolla is launched in 4 trims Xli, Gli, Altis and Diesel while in America the latest corolla family includes L, LE , LE Eco and S.
