Toyota Corolla

As we mentioned before, during the past year 2018 have been commercialized in the 95.6 million world of cars. This figure represents 0.2 percent more than in 2017, a figure that tells us that in 2019 the global automobile sector could suffer a big recession . However, globally, we must take stock of which models are the favorites of the public.

So, if the Volkswagen Group is the constructor that dominates with iron fist the sector, the Toyota Corolla is who does it at the level of models. Of this curious form, the German constructor gives the relief to the Group Toyota, because it is who steps on his feet in this race in the background. However, the market is filled with thousands of alternatives, although not all have the same weight and success.
