Toyota

Toyota is a worldwide auto manufacturer headquartered in Japan. The company was founded by Kiichiro Toyoda in 1937 as a spinoff from Toyota Industries to manufacture automobiles. At its peak, Toyota employed approximately 320,000 people worldwide. It is the world's #1 automaker in sales. Toyota also owns and operates the Scion brand.

Toyota built its reputation in the USA in the Energy Crisis of the 1970s by producing, high-quality affordable compact cars. In the 1990s, Toyota began to branch out by adding many larger and more luxurious vehicles to its lineup, including a full-sized pickup, the T100 (and later the Tundra); several lines of SUVs, including the Sequoia, the RAV 4, and the Highlander; a sport version of the Camry known as the Solara; and the Scion brand, a group of several affordable and sporty, automobiles targeted specifically to young adults. Toyota also began production of the world's best-selling hybrid car, the Prius in 1997. The Toyota Avalon is a luxury sedan and the Matrix and Yaris are economy models. The Corolla has been a staple in the Toyota lineup since the late 1960s, and the Toyota Tacoma pickup is another familiar name to auto shoppers. Scion currently produces the Scion xA, xB, tC and xD. Toyota Racing Development (TRD) has been active in creating the technology for high performance and street automobiles. Toyota has also been a leader in Hybrid technology, with the Toyota Prius and the Toyota Camry Hybrid leading the pack in US Hybrid Auto sales.
