    The Japanese-market cars were launched during the 1970s. In the United States, the Corolla grew in popularity and the Corona model debuted as well. The successful Celica sports coupe was also rolled out and would remain in production for more than 30 years. This was my first Toyota model I purchased in 1987. It was a yellow, 5-speed transmission, 2-door, four cylinders with around 100,000 miles. I drove the car for 8 years: from Columbia to Florence, SC for the first six years; then from Columbia, SC to Charlotte, NC, for a year and a half, then after, until I sold it with over 300,000 miles on it. Those experiences sealed me as a Toyota model customer.…

Nobuyori Kodaira, executive vice president of Toyota, said that the company planned to heed the lessons it learned during the global financial crisis that began in 2007, when it struggled for several years with overcapacity before demand recovered (Pfanner 2014)”.
