In a recent interview with the London-based Sunday Times, vacuum-cleaner magnate Sir James Dyson admitted to spending £500 million of his personal fortune developing his electric SUV program before calling it quits last October.

The current Toyota Corolla hasn’t been with us for very long. The aggressive-looking five-door hatchback model first made its debut in the middle of 2018, and has since been joined by a similarly wide-mouthed four-door sedan variant.
