Toyota Builds 5,000,000th North American Corolla


5 Millionth Toyota Corolla U.S.

On Tuesday August 19th, Toyota quietly celebrated a very important milestone in its history with the production of the 5 millionth North American built Corolla. Introduced in 1966 in Japan, the first Corolla came to the United States in the summer of 1968. It took the Japanese automaker 18 years to begin manufacturing Corollas in the States with the first models being assembled at New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc. (NUMMI) in Fremont, California in 1986. -Continued

Two years later, in 1986 production commenced at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada in Cambridge, Ontario. Overall, more than 30 million Corollas have been sold worldwide, making it one of the best-selling cars of all time.
