From the 1998 Corolla to the 2009 version the fuel economy has remained the same contrary to Toyota's image on fuel economy improvements. The revised EPA estimates for the 1998 Corolla 27 mpg city and 34 highway. 2009 Corolla with 1.8 liter is rated 27 city, 35 highway. About new imagination in design : very little except some tweaking here ad there, boring? yes according to some who were Toyota customers. Toyota has not been a leader as the Scion would suggest but with the Tundra and the Corolla more of a follower, consider that 370,000 Corolla were sold in 2007 making it the third best selling car in the USA.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
