Chairman - Hiroshi Okuda

President - Katsuaki Watanabe

Toyota was founded in 1933 and now owns:

• Daihatsu (~51%)
  
• Fuji Heavy Industries (~20%. Toyota bought this from GM in late 2005. )
  
• Lexus
  
• Scion
  

Toyota is Japan's biggest car company and the second largest in the world after General Motors. It produces an estimated eight million vehicles per year, about a million fewer than the number produced by GM. The company dominates its home market with about 45% of all new cars registered in 2004 being Toyotas. Toyota also has a large market share in both the United States and Europe. It has significant market shares in several fast-growing South East Asian countries

hope that helps.

Denso

it wrong to say NOW owns, Lexus and Scion, as they are both brands developed by Toyota Corp

Doubt it...

Subaru is owned by Fuji Heavy Industries. Toyota bought GM's 20% share of Fuji Heavy so I guess it is true.

May I ask why? Sorry just seems a bit of a strange question.

Rumour has it Mr. Toyota Senior came up with the torque setting for the 7M-GTE head bolts too....

"what son??? no, or COURSE it'll be tight enough......"

[Karma Supra]

The 205 is a slightly more "user friendly" layout :D :D

Not much... but slightly......

I never knew they owned Futaba!!!!!! I always used Acoms gear :(

[dawesy]

dont know if they are the same company, i was on about futaba tenneco, automotive part manf

Just a quick note... Toyota recently overtook GM as the largest car manufacturer in the world, producing/selling a greater number of cars in 2005.

[LORD_ED]

the thing is GM now have more exciting cars than toyota

[Karma Supra]

Its true :(

To say the current lineup is "bland" would be a huge understatement :(

[Leeky]

When we go to Toyota HQ at the end of the month i will mention the fact that we all think the current lineup is poo from a performance car point of view

But dont worry i'll say it in a very polite way

[Karma Supra]

Best you say it then Lee... I may offend!
