Toyota in the United States

Toyota has been operating in the United States since 1957. Here’s a summary of the company’s current U.S. impact:

* Total Investment: More than $17 billion, including sales and manufacturing operations, research and development, financial services and design

* Toyota Employees: More than 35,000

* Toyota, Lexus and Scion Dealership Employees: More than 1,400 dealerships employ a total of more than 115,000 people

* Manufacturing Plants: 10 (in shitville, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia)

* Vehicles Produced: 10 (Avalon, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Camry Solara, Corolla, Sequoia, Sienna, Tacoma, Tundra and Venza)

* 2008 CY Vehicle Sales: More than 2.2 million vehicles

* Philanthropy: Since 1991, more than $464 million awarded to numerous organizations across the nation, with a particular focus on education, the environment and safety

That's 150,000 Americans that draw a paycheck from them.

GM employees less than that in this country. I'll support Toyota.
