    parent company of the Toyota Group. It became the
    largest automobile manufacturer in the world for the first time in 2008,
    surpassing General Motors. Many of its about 1,000 subsidiary companies
    and affiliates are involved in the production of automobiles, automobile parts,
    and commercial and industrial vehicles. Headquarters are in Toyota City, an
    industrial city east of Nagoya, Japan. In 1933 Toyoda Kiichiro founded what
    later became the Toyota Motor Corporation as a division of the Toyoda
    Automatic Loom Works, Ltd. (later Toyota Industries Corporation, now a
    subsidiary), a Japanese manufacturer founded by his father, Toyoda Sakichi.
    Its first production car, the Model AA sedan, was released in 1936. The
    following year the division was incorporated as the Toyota Motor Company,
    Ltd., headed by Kiichiro. (The company’s name was changed to Toyota, which
    has a more pleasing sound in Japanese.) Toyota subsequently established
    several related companies, including Toyoda Machine Works, Ltd. (1941), and
    Toyota Auto Body, Ltd. (1945). During World War II the company suspended
    production of passenger cars and concentrated on trucks. Faced with wrecked
    facilities and a chaotic economy in the aftermath of World War II, the
    company did not resume making passenger cars until 1947 with the
    introduction of the Model SA.

    By the 1950s Toyota’s automobile production factories were back in full


    operation, and to gain competitiveness the company began a careful study of
    American automobile manufacturers, owing to perceived U.S. technical and
    economic superiority. Toyota executives toured the production facilities of
    corporations, including the Ford Motor Company, to observe the latest
    automobile manufacturing technology and in turn implemented it in their own
    facilities, yielding a nearly immediate increase in efficiency. In 1957 Toyota
    Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., was established, and the following year the company
    released the Toyopet sedan, its first model to be marketed in the United
    States; it was poorly received because of its high price and lack of horsepower.
    The Land Cruiser, a 4 × 4 utility vehicle released in 1958, was more successful.
    In 1965 the Toyopet, completely redesigned for American drivers, was re-
    released as the Toyota Corona, marking the company’s first major success in
    the United States.
