Toyota Corolla

The best-selling car nameplate in history/Cars & Road Vehicles

With over 50 million units sold since 1966, the Toyota Corolla is the best-selling car nameplate of all time. It earned its reputation through relentless reliability and an almost supernatural ability to keep running no matter what. If cockroaches survive the apocalypse, they will probably be driving Corollas.
