The founder Kiichiro Toyoda started his automotive career after the Japanese government pushed him to develop automobiles as the nation had began to enter war with China. But besides the controversial beginnings, Toyota started with Toyoda Model AA which sold 1,404 units. This lineup helped push and drive Toyota to continue in the automotive industry. 


What Toyota is today:

Toyota today is now the biggest automotive company out there. In fact it's worth an incredible and unbelievable $250.64 billion as of 2023. But what does toyota offer to its customers? Well, they currently offer a wide array and variety of vehicles from compact sedans to sporty coupes and even the world's most popular SUV, the RAV 4.

The Toyota logo might look like a mess, and it does. But what really is it? If you notice the image below you can see the shape is a combination of each letter in the name. How creative!


Fun fact:

The world's most popular car is the Toyota Corolla with 1.12 million units sold in 2022 alone!
