Toyota Corolla marks its 50th anniversary with new standard features and style upgrades
50 years is a long time for any product to remain on the market, but for the Toyota Corolla, it seems like no time at all. In its half-century in the auto market, 43 million Toyota Corollas have rolled off the factory line and onto the roads, and its still going strong to this day. Now, you might wonder how the Toyota Corolla has such phenomenal staying power. The answer, of course, is innovation. Toyota has never been complacent with its design of the Corolla, and even in its 50th year, Toyota continues to add new styling, more refined interior appointments, and advanced safety technologies to meet the needs and wants of its customers.
Now, the current Corolla model is no doubt a full-featured and attractive vehicle, but that hasn’t stopped Toyota from further fleshing out its offerings, making more features that would be optional on competitor models standard. Stylistically, the new Toyota Corolla boasts sharper lines and a more aggressive silhouette. Additionally, a Toyota is also releasing a Corolla 50th Special Anniversary Edition with unique color options, a moon roof, smart key, and Entune Audio Plus for a more premium experience.
However, even if you don’t choose the 50th Anniversary Special Edition, you’ll be happy to know that there’s plenty of features that will be coming standard with all new Toyota Corolla models, including Toyota Safety Sense-P and a rear backup camera. So, if you’d like to learn more about the new 2017 Toyota Corolla and all its innovative features, feel free to visit us at Steet Toyota of Johnstown to speak with our expert sales associates and take a test drive today!

What type of demographic are they trying to appeal to here? We just don’t know! Picture from https://www.motor1.com/news/366801/toyota-tj-cruiser-production-rumor/
