Reluctant Electric Corolla

Two stars. Ordered the world's best-selling appliance, waited fifteen years for the plug, and it arrives exactly as promised: sensible, beige, impossible to kill. Toyota spent a decade insisting hybrids were enough, then quietly wheeled out the one car that actually moves 1.1 million units a year with a battery in it. It will outlive my house. Docking three stars because it took them until 2026 and it still won't let me be interesting at a stoplight.

Reading trades.
