This revolution is starting in Japan, where the average Corolla driver is 70. That might have something to do with the Japanese population in general getting older and people not having kids there. As a way to attract the few Millennials that are on the island nation, Toyota unveiled a fully redesigned Corolla Sport model, which is the hatchback. Sure, it looks sleeker and all that, but you need to keep your eye on the ball: you can check your email from the car.

You’re probably thinking other automakers do the same thing, and have been for years, and you’re right.
