Toyota Camry Is Cars.com Most American-Made
This upcoming Monday, July 4th, 2016 marks 240 years of America, and Toyota is celebrating with the Toyota Camry, who has just been named by Cars.com as the most American-made. The Camry has played a huge role in America as the best-selling car here for 14 years, and now it is at the top of the American-Made Index. This index rates American built and bought vehicles based on factors such as if the vehicle is assembled here, if the parts are American, and if it sells well in the U.S.
The Camry, which is assembled in Georgetown, KY at the largest manufacturing plant in the world, Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky Inc., received a percent of 75 of U.S. sold domestic content from the NHTSA. The Toyota Sienna also scored very high, coming in third on the list.
“This recognition from Cars.com is a tribute to Toyota employees, not only those at the plant who build the Camry, but the broader Toyota team who design, engineer, market and finance the vehicle in the United States,” said Bob Carter, Toyota senior vice president of automotive operations. “We also support local suppliers and economies, and we have invested more than $6 billion into our Kentucky operations alone, which is growing with our new production engineering campus under construction there.”
Test drive the 2016 Toyota Camry or 2016 Toyota Sienna at Fiore Toyota today!

Toyota Adds Three Child Crash Dummies
Toyota Motor Corporation knows that the most precious cargo in your Toyota vehicle are your tiny passengers. That’s why they’re constantly working to develop new ways to keep them safe. This week, Toyota unveiled its fourth and newest version of the Total Human Model for Safety (THUMS), a virtual crash dummy software.
This version will introduce new passengers, including a three-year-old (3’1” tall), a six-year old (3’10” tall), and a ten-year-old (4’6” tall). This introduction of children follow the collaborative research project between the University of Michigan, Wayne State University, and Toyota’s Collaborative Safety Research Center*. This software is able to simulate vehicle crash injuries on humans. Because it’s able to predict injuries and their extent on humans (and now, children), Toyota will be able to better protect all passengers with devices and safety features such as airbags.
*The Collaborative Safety Research Center was established in 2011. It aims to reduce the number of traffic fatalities and injuries through collaborative research with North American universities, hospitals and research agencies, and by sharing the results of this research with society. Between 2011 and 2021, it is slated to receive 85 million dollars in investment.

Toyota Motor Corporation is continuing their dedication to the 2050 Toyota Environmental Challenge, a set of goals they’ve created to positively affect the environment. They’ve vowed to reduce not only CO₂ emissions produced by their vehicles but by their manufacturing plants and production facilities.
This effort can be seen through Toyota’s new solar power system that will be part of their new North American headquarters in Plano, Texas. The move is expected to happen next year, while the system will be completed in two phases. In total, the system will equal 7.75 megawatts and will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 7122 metric tons, which is the equivalent of about 1,000 homes’ electricity usage.
“We are dedicated to making sure our new headquarters campus supports – even redefines – Toyota’s commitment to the environment,” said Kevin Butt, Regional Director, North American Environmental Division. “The Plano solar system will not only reduce our environmental footprint and educate team members about renewable energy, it moves us closer to Toyota’s 2050 global environmental challenge to eliminate carbon emissions in all operations.”

Toyota Sienna Is a Top 10 Family Car
Parenting isn’t easy, but the 2016 Toyota Sienna is making it easier, and people are noticing! In the July issue of Parents Magazine, Emunds.com named the Toyota Sienna one of the top ten best family cars of the year as well as deeming it the winner of the Best Minivan. Vehicles were rated based on safety, quality of ride, fuel efficiency, comfort, and capacity, price and value, kid-friendly features, interior and exterior workmanship, reliability, visibility, ergonomics, controls and instrumentation, appearance, and special design features.
“The endlessly roomy Sienna stands above its competitors for two reasons: It’s the only one with available all-wheel drive, and the especially user-friendly controls help you stay focused on the road,” Parents Magazine writes.
Some of the features that won Parents Magazine and Edmunds.com over were its Dual-View Entertainment Center, multiple LATCH locations, Driver Easy Speak option, Siri® Eyes Free, Navigation Scout® GPS, and of course the Toyota Star Safety System™ which includes Electronic Brake-Force Distribution, Traction Control, Anti-lock Brakes, enhanced Vehicle Stability Control, Brake Assist, and Smart Stop Technology.
