Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) recently announced that its worldwide cumulative vehicle production has surpassed 200 million units in June.
This milestone took 76 years and 11 months to reach, and began with production of the Model G1 truck in August 1935 at Toyoda Automatic Loom Works Ltd.’s Automotive Department, which was spun off to later become TMC. As of the end of June 2012, cumulative production in Japan (including kits for overseas production) totaled 145.21 million vehicles and overseas production totaled 55.12 million units.
“I wish to express my heartfelt appreciation to our customers the world over who made it possible for us to reach this milestone. I also have the most profound respect and gratitude for the efforts of all persons who were involved in developing, manufacturing, and marketing Toyota and Lexus vehicles over the years. We are determined to make our cars even better, to continue to give our customers the best possible product. This is the common goal of our 300,000 Toyota staff members worldwide,” said TMC President Akio Toyoda.
The most-produced model among Toyota-brand vehicles is of course the Corolla, of which the 11th generation was launched in Japan in May. Cumulative worldwide Corolla production totaled 39.08 million units as of the end of June.

First!
First in posting “junk”, SPAM!
yaya.. you may print this page then claim any toyota car u like.
Gosh !
Thats a alot ot trash , pollution ,emissions and waste of resources, better start thinking Green from now on.
Add in the others ,MY God.
toyota was among the first to think about the green, they introduced the prius in 1997, meaning started to ponder with ideas as early as 1992.
Quoting the President, “We are determined to make our cars even better, to continue to give our customers the best possible product.”
Nonsense really? The best possible product by giving us the same old engine and tranny in the all NEW camry. Bravo!
sometimes old doesn’t mean it’s bad.
I, too, expected to see the new Camry equipped with new engine and new gearbox, say, the one on the Altis maybe; but to be honest, the current 2.0L + 4AT is time-proven. It might not be impressive in temrs of technology but is indeed a piece of reliable and fuel-saving machinery.
is it too much to ask for new engine and new gearbox technology with reliability and fuel saving??? Toyota product development and RnD team should rectify all major/minor reliability issue before officially release a product into the market unless toyota want to reap optimum profit within shortest time possible. hey they did that with GT86 and LFA, why not good old trusty camry?
And yet, other people may not share the same sentiment as some of us here.
Well, Toyota thinks the 12 year old engine is their best mah, so they continue producing it lah. Till 2020 they still think it’s their best wut. Goes the same for the 4 speed auto.
Have u driven the new Camry? I have, and for the “old” 2.0 engine u claimed, it is very responsive and acceleration was superb. Because it is so reliable, they can put it on the new generation.
Camry 2.0 0-100 in 12.5 secs. Passat 1.8 0-100 in 8.5 secs. Jetta 1.4 0-100 in 8.5 secs. Polo 1.2 0-100 in 9.7 secs. Indian made Polo Sedan non-TSI 1.6 0-100 in 12.3 secs. Let’s talk responsiveness. Alangkah puasnya Toyota!
forte, 408 and preve does less than 10 secs too
At current rate Proton would take 377 years to achieve 200 million cars sold…
good one
Dream! This jaguh kampong may not last beyond 2015 when AFTA is coming, or this year if PR win GE 13 – take over Putrajay and abolish excise duty/AP.
well, if PR did so, they are stupid enuf to killl the brand.
let the Proton brand die,who cares when we can get better cars for cheaper price
The Jaguh Kampung cannot survive in open market, don’t blame other kill them. They are the one to blame themselve for cheapskate and inferior product!

not sure yet..
So, which one make you very sure!!!!!!!!!
IF, and IF and the only IF everything can be pre-determine and very sure, then please give me four digit to strike 1st prize from KTM (Kuda, TOTO and Magnum).
please go and read about afta again, it’s not like that
if you slash down the price overnight after PRU13 winner announcement, then 2nd hand market will crash down so badly that nobody can sell their car without having to suffer heavy losses on their car values. You can buy that dream car cheaper but your current car now is your problem as you got to trade it real cheap. I suggest gradually reduce car price.
new corrolla does look like something design by china car… BYD perhaps.
The design could be literal translation from ??? (kào y?o l?, sounds similar to Corrolla) which means see ghost/wtf/bs, etc…
Yeah, at first glance I thought it was BYD.
I have a Camry and a latest Yaris. They might not be the best looking or has the latest engine or gear box but they are reliable cars that are fun to drive. A Camry cost around A$30k and a Yaris < A$20k and they won't punch a hole in your wallet like those German made.
This is strong evident on the ground from consumer about T car! Now we should understand why Toyota can become world class player.
Reliable car yes ,Fun !!! no nver heard before.
It is undoubtful the Toyota cars are fun to drive for average drivers who commute daily to work, do their shopping and sending children to school. They are very comfortable too if used in interstate highway travel which I believe will not score below any German made. I do agree for serious drivers, they have to sought other more exotic made. Toyota cars are not made neither for sprinting nor drag. It is definitely not a fun car to drive in that context.
japs cars are not really fun to drive on highways, handling like sampan
sir,if you have bought them(Camry&Yaris) in RM instead of AUD, im sure you say going to say otherwise
My take is that Malaysians shall not be penalised for having a descent cars by the Government. I don’t think Asutralian cars are cheap. They are just reasonably taxed. Malaysians shall also put more emphasis on the safety aspect of cars and pay more attention to Ancap/ Ncap rating. A similar Toyota model will have different ANCAP rating in Australia and Malaysia due to the safety features. A base Yaris in Australia will have seven airbags and all safety features and is ANCAP rated 5 stars. In a similar collision, an ANCAP rated one star vehicle might have a serious fatality but ANCAP five stars will only have minor injury. Australians will generally less concern on the luxury features like SAT navigation etc. A A$100 SAT nav or even a tablet loaded with map is equally good.
Taniah to Toyota, credit should be given where it is due! Why there are people up there complaint on other aspect, old-thispold-that tech or engine?
My God Danny, do you have to put a pic of that superbly awful Gen11 JDM Corolla up there?:(
Compared to the dashing new Forte shown above, the Corolla looks so 1980s… and it sure drives like one too.
I am a Toyota owner, it may not be the best in design or having sophisticated technology. It is more on the total toyota experience, cheaper to maintain, and when it has an issue, u know there is a technical support for it to bring you back on the road in the shortest timeframe. Imagine u drive a car with best design and sophisticated engine, when issue hits, the garage people only say sorry to you coz they can’t find a solution for u. Like a doctor asking a forth stage cancer patient to go home, wait and see.
learn from hyundai and kia la, design still like shiat.
Toyota Motor Corp regained the lead in global car sales over General Motors Co in the first half, with Volkswagen AG poised to move past GM and push the U.S. automaker into third place for the full year.
1. Toyota with 4.97 million vehicles
2. GM with 4.67 million vehicles
3. VW with 4.45 million vehicles
I don’t see any reason, or in what terms that Toyota should learn from Koreans.
not popular wise but design wise, understand?
The new 11th generation toyota corolla/altis was so ugly than my cock lah, toyota really moving backward.WTF!!!
