Apparently Volkswagen has overtaken Toyota as the largest car seller. "Volkswagen overtook Toyota as the world's largest carmaker by sales in the first half, achieving its long-held ambition three years ahead of target." http://www.businessinsider.com/r-vw-overtakes-toyota-as-worlds-biggest-carmaker--2015-7 Rune X2 (talk) 12:21, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Toyota Department of Fan Operations

Can someone help link to or AfD this orphaned page? Gbawden (talk) 08:05, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Toyota's highest volume as of August ....

I have removed "As of August 2014^[update], Toyota's highest volume of sales has been in the USA, followed by Japan, China, Indonesia and Thailand..." This was done for various reasons:

The cited stat was for the Toyota BRAND. This article is about the Toyota Group (TMC), and all stats are Group stats, i.e. including Lexus, Daihatsu, Hino, et al.
On a Group level, the statement simply is not true:
Jan-July Toyota Group sales in the U.S. were 1,381,409 units.
Jan-July Toyota Group registrations in Japan were 1,420,468 units.
Even if it were true, we do not chase monthly stats.

I contribute the article with aim to describe the most Toyota countries sales. Toyota is means all the subsidiaries, including Daihatsu and so on if any. Sales of USA and Japan maybe different by a small amount, so it is difficult to say which one is the most, so I think is better to wait until end of 2014 to see the truth, but position of China, Indonesia and Thailand are predicted fix, because the differents among them are significant. Thank you so much for your attention.Gsarwa (talk) 17:10, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-Protection

I have been reverting vandalsim on this wikipedia article quite often. I believe that the time has come, unfortunatley, to add semi-protection to this article. I would like to ask any adminstrators who happen by to semi-protect this page. I hope this will allow for a better user experience in the Wikipedia name. Thank you in advance,

Image for Toyota image

Hi,

I would like to add a image on worldwide presence because it would be nice to include the Toyota Camry into the article. I would be thinking that adding an image to the article will make readers have a clear view of where the Toyota Camry looks like and where it would be made. - 60.224.249.55 (talk) 02:43, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't somebody looking for a picture of the Camry look on the Toyota Camry page? The Camry is only one of many cars made by Toyota. I wouldn't go to extra effort to either add or remove a Camry photo. Stepho talk 23:12, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Archive mystery

I can only see one page of archive which covers to August 2006 only. Is it true there's no discussion between August 2006 to December 2013? Regards,---Now wiki (talk) 19:27, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Archive 2 wasn't named according to standard. Fixed now. Boivie (talk) 06:46, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Why is there such a standard to block access to archive material?---Now wiki (talk) 19:04, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't a standard to block access to the archives. Someone just made a mistake (missed a space in the title of the archive). Nothing to get all worried about. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 03:56, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Toyota Caserta

Has anybody heard of the Toyota Caserta from the year 2000? I've never heard of it before and information on the web seems lacking. From http://onlytruecars.com/photo/md/toyota-caserta/01/default.htm I would guess that it's an MR2 with a body kit and maybe tuning by Modi. From http://www.ebay.com/itm/Toyota-CASERTA-Diecast-Model-Toy-Car-Dress-Up-Car-Lawson-Promo-/261879652849 I would guess it's an MR2 with a body kit and maybe tuning by Toyota's Modellista department. There are also hints that it is a concept car. Anybody got any real info instead of my wild guesses? Stepho talk 01:53, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it was only an Italian model? I found this page. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 03:58, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unintended acceleration

I know that there was some really big news a couple of years ago about a huge cover-up by Toyota. I think it was the unintended acceleration problem. There were deaths caused by the problem, correct? Toyota of course wants to cover it up but it is an important part of their history. An unbiased history of the company should include more about the problem and the cover-up. I came to this article for the purpose of the details. Sam Tomato (talk) 19:24, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is already mentioned in the article. It has a brief mention at Toyota#Recalls (found by searching the article for the word 'unintended'), which points to a much larger and fuller explanation at 2009–11 Toyota vehicle recalls. Stepho talk 01:52, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
