The Toyota Corolla is objectively the apex of functional design.

It drives, it holds enough people and things, it is affordable, and it requires minimal maintenance.

While Sartre and Camus may contend whether the essence of man precedes his existence, the same cannot be said for the venerable Corolla. It is an object whose sum total of abilities is not merely narrowly constrained to the necessities of object as transportation, but does include within every feature and convenience yet needed by the conscientious driver. The Corolla is, foremost, “an car” - a purer expression of the human desire for stability, predictability, and familiarity than any other vehicle manufactured today.
