The Rise Of Toyota

Toyota became one of the world’s largest automakers by churning out cars, trucks, and sport utility vehicles. In the United States several models were among the country's best selling cars in 2018 including the Toyota Corolla, Camry, Highlander and Tacoma.

Over the years, Toyota has grown a reputation for being affordable, reliable, safe and... kind of boring. A scion of the Toyoda family, Akio Toyoda, now has the reins at the company and has given the company a severe order for no more boring cars.

Now the Japanese giant is doubling down on speed, adventure, and cutting edge technology, in a bid to survive and succeed. It recently relaunched the Toyota Supra, which was originally produced from the late 1970s to the early 2000s.

The Rise Of Toyota

[miguelurena]

No matter what ppl and journalists say about Toyota being boring cars.... they will always be # 1 in reliability and long term ownership PERIOD.

[ChrisInvests]

Make quality, reliable cars for fair prices and you're bound to be successful 👍

[jasonthach]

If you build a high reliable car with low maintenance cost, people will keep coming back to you.

[GreenAppelPie]

Toyota doesn’t have to worry about competition as long as they keep doing what they’re doing.

[nismo]

I worked for a Toyota/Chrysler dealer for 7 years in the mid/late 90's. The quality difference between the two brands was ridiculously obvious.

[sergioruano]

I've had a Camry, Rav4, and Tacoma. Toyota just makes great cars.

[Dvasqz]

Notice how this video isn’t the rise and fall like it would with a gm or a Ford.

[Xgo]

Hondas and toyotas are the most reliable cars. Had a 2002 Acura with 245 thousand plus miles still ran great. Bought a 2012 Camry now

[murkage]

People say Toyota is boring but damn, look at the new Camry! That thing is sportyyy

[CyberManny]

In terms of reliability, toyota is #1

[Steve-hidb]

New video idea: Why American cars are unreliable?

[DjmDjm-hlpt]

My Toyota has 333, 000 miles never touched the engine. Maintenance is key change and check your oil.

[joesantamaria]

The best car company in the world, by far. I’ve driven well over one million miles in various models since 1988, and I would NEVER drive anything else.

[boboutelama]

A millenial at my job made fun of Toyota cars beeing boring. At the end of my shift I asked him to wait in front of the office, and I showed up with my Lexus RCF.
I believe he's cured now.

[iking]

My Toyota Yaris is 12 tears old, raked in 300K and still almost as lively and consistent to drive. The most reliable car I have.

[whovianforever]

How can you do a Toyota video and not mention Scotty Kilmer?

[pyrophobia]

who cares about boring looks if it gets you from A to B and not cost an arm and a leg to fix and maintain

[shashank]

Toyota's annual revenue is $240 billion. Volkswagen comes at second ($117 billion)

[TheBrightFutureChannel]

You cannot call Toyota "boring!" It is the only vehicle that I would buy-- one that is fast, reliable, and updated with the latest technology.

[CoryMaiden]

I love my Toyota Corolla!!! Best reliable car ever. Boring you say? What's boring is sitting in a service waiting room. You won't see me there a lot, except for an oil change. Thank you Toyota!!! Don't stop making reliable vehicles!!!
