10 Fun, Interesting and Amazing Toyota Facts!


1. Toyota Motor Corporation started in 1937 as a division of Toyoda Automatic Loom Works. While the Toyota Group is now best known for its cars, they are still in the textile business as well.

2. The founder of Toyota Motor Corporation actually spells his name T-O-Y-O-D-A. Kiichiro Toyoda, to be exact. The spelling of the company name was changed to Toyota because when it is written in Katakana (a Japanese script) it only takes 8 strokes to write, and 8 is a lucky number in East Asian culture.

3. Kiichiro Toyoda, son of the founder of Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, got ideas for the first Toyota cars from the United States. He traveled to the US in 1929 to investigate automobile production because Japan needed to start producing domestic vehicles due to their war with China. Early Toyota’s bear a striking resemblance to the Dodge Power Wagon and Chevrolet.

4. Even though Toyota started in Japan, the company has created more than 365,000 jobs in the United States.

5. The Korean War saved Toyota. The company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and produced only 300 trucks in June of 1950. In the first few months of the Korean War, the US ordered more than 5,000 vehicles from Toyota, and the company was revived.

6. Toyota first came to America in 1957.

7. In the year 2011, Toyota was ranked as the third largest car manufacturer in the world, behind General Motors and Volkswagen Group.

8. Toyota is the world’s leading manufacturer of hybrid vehicles, and there are more than 1,700,000 Toyota hybrids on the road right now.

9. Toyota invests $1 million dollars every hour in research and development worldwide. They do this in pursuit of building better and safe cars.

10. Eighty percent of Toyotas sold 20 years ago are still on the road today!

There you go! Some fun, interesting and amazing facts about Toyota vehicles for you to share with your friends and family.

There are a wide range of quad #bikes available on the market, but we highlighted two common categories of quad bikes:racing quad bikes and quad bikes which are suitable for all terrains (ATV’s). Racing quad bikes are usually light and this model is made to endure the harshness of racing. The racing quads for sale are designed to maintain stability while turning corners and traveling at fast speeds.
ATV’s are typically larger and sturdier than racing quad bikes with additional features such as trailer hitches. ATV’s are also more suitable for longer journeys and rough terrain.

The next generation of Audi’s upmarket A6 saloon will offer an emergency driver assistance function which can halt the car if the driver falls ill at the wheel, Germany’s Autobild Motoring Gazette reports.

The system is designed to bring the car to a standstill at the side of the highway as quickly and safely as possible, with hazard lights switched on. The car then transmits an emergency call which automatically alerts rescue services.

The A6, which is slated for release in 2017, will also feature downsized two-litre engines.

2015 Honda Accord Sedan

The 2015 Honda Accord is smart with its comfort and passenger space; with a somewhat smaller exterior, Honda has packed more space inside, in about every way possible. The driving position is nice and upright, and for those in front or in back, the plentiful window space allows a good view all around.

Innovative sensors will allow BMW to demonstrate a number of features at the new year, including the possibility of entirely collision-free driving. Additionally BMW has succeeded in achieving fully automated control of the vehicle by connecting up vehicle sensor systems and a digital site plan. This avoids dependence on the GPS signal, which is not at all precise in multi-storey car parks.

The bad news: you will probably never sit behind the wheel of Ford's newly-unveiled 600+ horsepower GT supercar. The good news: video game developer Turn 10 Studios is offering the next-best thing by including the vehicle in the latest iteration of its acclaimed racing sim, Forza Motorsport 6.

Ford and publisher Microsoft announced the new game at the 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit on January 12, the same day Ford first showed the new GT. The vehicle will also serve as the cover car for the game, following in the tire tracks of the McLaren P1, Ferrari 458 Italia, and Audi R8, among others.
