| Car guys may mock the Toyota Corolla for its outdated powertrains and total lack of driving thrills, but no car dominates the landscape of Afghanistan in quite the same way.
Agence-France Press takes a look at the Afghani love affair with the Corolla – said to account for as many as 80 percent of all vehicles registered in Kabul. Afgahnis buy them for the same reasons as everyone else; they're cheap, durable and inexpensive to maintain. The Corolla is so ubiquitous that taxi dispatchers advise passengers to look out for a "blue 2002″ or "white 2007″ since its implied that the taxi will automatically be a Corolla.
