Toyota Corolla - Generation 8.1 (1997-1999)

TOYOTA COROLLA (1997-1999)

Called the "Love Life" due to an emphasis on safety brought by standard (except for the XL) airbags and ABS brakes. The first version had an optional TOMS Limited Edition with a supercharged 1.6 engine but sold in limited quantities.
