copyright[edit]
- The text in this article was shifted from the history section of Toyota with minimal changes (ie if copyright was okay before then it should still be okay now). The playcarracing website copied their text from Wikipedia, without credit and including many of my own words from previous edits of Wikipedia Toyota article. So there is no issue of copyright infringement. Stepho-wrs (talk) 07:35, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

The future for the history[edit]
For those that are wondering why I split this article off from Toyota, I intended to expand the history to cover a timeline of the major events through Toyotas history. This will include things like
- Toyota Japan's one and only worker strike shortly after WWII (which explains Kiichiro Toyoda's resignation),
- the splitting into separate manufacturing and sales companies,
- why they have multiple dealerships in Japan (which also explains why the Sprinter is never called a Corolla inspite of sharing almost all parts).
I expect this to about about 3 or 4 times the original length, which is way too long to sit within the main Toyota article. Stepho-wrs (talk) 22:02, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
Tagged for expansion[edit]
I have tagged the article for expansion due to the fact that it is not very long. Most importantly, you skipped straight from 1960 to 2008. Brambleclawx 16:45, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
