[soap94]

Hi everybody. Recently i found an article about toyota's interesting facts. Hope you will enjoy reading it as i did.

P.S. It is not a spam.

1) Whos The Greenest Of Them All? Toyota Is!

Its official, folks. Toyota managed to outrun all the fierce rivals in the industry and is crowned as the number one Global Green Brand. Yep, the company really does care for the environment.

Remember their campaign with the Prius in 2004, when Orlando Bloom and half of the Hollywood celebrities arrived at the Oscars in a Toyota Prius? Well, that made a very big impact on the society, believe it or not, and since then the number of environment-friendly brands on the market has grown higher than ever.

2) The Best-Selling Brand And Nameplate

Everybody knows that the Toyota Camry and Corolla are the best-selling cars in the history. Yep, Camry, for example, has been holding that title in the United States for 13 (!) consecutive years. So, whos gonna say now that the Americans dont love Asian? And Toyota is very proud of their astonishing sales numbers. But theyve got yet another reason to be proud of themselves: according to the official statistics, Toyota Corolla has the best-selling nameplate for cars around the globe.

3) A Huge R And D Budget

Just think about this: each year Toyota spends over 9 billion dollars (thats American, by the way) on R And D (Research And Development) towards the future concepts, ideas, designs and all kinds of automobile technologies.

4) 0, 5 Billion Dollars On Donations

Besides all those monstrous spendings on RnD, Toyota is also very heavily involved in all kinds of charity, donations and fundraisings.

Heres a number for yall: since 1991 the company has donated more than half a billion US dollars in hard cash and grants. Thats 500 million dollars almost 24 mil a year!

5) Truly Worldwide

You know, Pitbull (a Miami rapper) can claim that hes Mr. Worldwide all he wants, but we all know that Mr. Toyoda holds the crown for that title. Since 1957 the company has extended tremendously and is now dominant across the whole world. In +/- 50 years Toyota set up production and showrooms in more than 170 countries and regions. Fun fact: even McDonalds doesnt have that much restaurants worldwide!

6-7) Tons Of Patents And Awards

Right now Toyota has the record of 1K global patents, and that means theyre set to introduce a lot of new models and maybe even brands in the upcoming dates. And thats great more innovation and bright ideas means more quality cars and techy features coming out way. Hail Toyota!

8-10) The King Of Hybrids, Resale, And Employments

In addition to all that greatness, Toyota also has the biggest line-up of hybrids in the globe, and in 2012 they reached their target of selling 1 million units each year thats quite impressive. Toyota has sold about 75% percent of all the hybrid cars in the States.

In light of Toyota/Lexus Hybrids covering most of the range, and diesels not as popular, Toyota should be the greenest main stream car manufacturer.

With diesel having bad press and long term reliability issues, due to extra emissions and DMF, plus the environmental issues.

Every other car maker is now playing catch up.
