2017 Toyota Corolla: The old standby celebrates a major milestone

Yep, it's been 50 years since the Corolla first graced US shores, and the 50th Anniversary Special Edition is the perfect way to celebrate.

I love two-seater, RWD convertibles and own a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for pavement fun and a lifted 2001 Miata for pre-running. I race air-cooled Volkswagens in desert races like the Mint 400 and the Baja 1000. I have won the Rebelle Rally, seven-day navigational challenge, twice and I am the only driver to compete in an EV, the Rivian R1T.

All the changes are in the front. The Corolla sports LED headlamps and a new grille for 2017.

A bit of the Black Cherry color makes its way to the inside of the 50th Anniversary Special Edition.

The seats may not look like much but they are pretty comfortable for long commutes.
