A car, or an automobile, is a motor vehicle with wheels. Most definitions of cars state that they run primarily on roads, seat one to eight people, have four wheels, and mainly transport people, not cargo.
The Toyota Corolla, which has been in production since 1966, is the best-selling series of automobile in history.
