and white are also to be had), Black Cherry evaluation sewing inside the
indoors, fiftieth Anniversary badging outdoor, and 50th Anniversary version
floormats. Only eight,000 2017 Toyota Corolla fiftieth Anniversary unique
variants can be made, which sounds like lots, however for the reason that
Toyota moved 363,000 Corollas closing year, it really most effective represents
approximately 2 percentage of the income blend.

underneath the hood. A 1.8-liter I-4 with
energy outputs—132 hp and 128 lb-ft of torque on maximum of the lineup
and one hundred forty hp and 126 lb-feet on Eco fashions—is the handiest
available engine. Three transmissions are to be had: a six-speed guide, a
