In one of our previous blogs, we shared with you how Toyota had helped to commission three impressive murals that were created to help commemorate the Special Olympics World Games Los Angeles 2015 (LA2015). Nor, the brand has announced that it is extending its support of the 2015 games even further with a $110,200 that was presented during a Torch Ceremony that honored the Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) Final Leg for the World Games. The ceremony took place at the Westfield Valencia Town Center and was attended by Valencia Mayor Marsha McLean, Toyota Motor Sales Los Angeles Region General Manager Alec Hagey and LETR Final Leg Team Leader Chief Jeff Spaulding.
The LETR Final Leg Team is on a mission to travel to 127 cities, towns and communities across 4,648 miles in order to spread the word about the 2015 games. The support that Toyota has provided to the LETR and the creation of the murals are just two of the ways that Toyota has provided support to LA2015. Toyota dealerships throughout the U.S. have been participating in fundraising efforts and the brand provided several vehicles to the Special Olympics Unified Relay Across America which took place from May 26- July 10 to help spread the word about the 2015 Games.
“We’re thankful to Toyota for their support of Special Olympics and our athletes,” said Jenise Steverding, Senior Director of Corporate Partnerships for Special Olympics World Games. “They’ve been a tremendous partner and we appreciate their leadership and commitment to helping develop our athletes and create communities of inclusion for all citizens.”

At the beginning of June, Toyota announced that it was launching a new campaign that would be centered around the 2015 Toyota Camry and the 2015 Toyota Corolla. This new campaign was designed in order to make customers feel as though the traveling possibilities are endless when you get behind the wheel of one of these two amazing all-new models. The theme of this campaign ties directly into the overall Toyota theme of “Let’s Go Places” which is all about encouraging Toyota customers to get back on the road and discover new adventures.
Recently, the brand has released two new advertisements for the campaign that each feature one of these impressive new models. Going along with the theme of this new campaign, these new advertisements highlight the importance of taking risks and not being afraid to venture off in new directions.
You can see the latest Toyota advertisements below and head over to Fiore Toyota to see both models in person if you live near Hollidaysburg, Altoona, Johnstown, State College and Indiana, PA.
Corolla:
Camry:
A 2015 Toyota Prius c Research & Review page will be released by Fiore Toyota to help all of our customers from Hollidaysburg, Altoona, Johnstown, State College and Indiana, PA learn more about this impressive all-new model. This page will be available under our “Model Lineup” tab and will offer important vehicle details on this model. It will help interested customers learn more about it before they take a trip into our dealership for a test drive. Some of the information will include trim levels, EPA estimates, safety features, engine and transmission, standard features of each trim and much more.
Starting now, anyone in the Los Angeles community will feel the spirit of the Special Olympics for years to come. As an effort in Toyota’s “Share the Journey” campaign for the 2015 Special Olympics, three murals were created to commemorate the athletes. Toyota executives, city leaders, artists, and Special Olympics fans all came together at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum mural to celebrate the athlete’s accomplishments.
The artwork is intended and designed to last the test of time, taking its inspiration from the Olympics as well as other important historical figures. Designed by well-known muralist and original 1984 Olympics artist Kent Twitchell, the mural was designed to build on the city’s rich culture.
“The murals are a lasting gift to Los Angeles to celebrate the life-changing power of Special Olympics and also honor the rich, artistic history of this city that has embraced us,” said Jim Lentz, CEO of Toyota North America. “Special Olympics is not only an important global sports movement but also an organization that touches individuals every day around the world. We hope everyone gets to experience the impact and help us cheer on the athletes.”
If you’re in the area make sure to check out any of the three murals for yourself. All three murals are located in close proximity to the Special Olympics venues, making it a must-see for anyone in the area.

Camry Named Most American-Made for Fifth Time
Once again, Toyota has shown why it’s such a special brand, having two of its cars named to Cars.com’s American-Made list. The top two spots on this year’s list were awarded to the Toyota Camry and Toyota Sienna. The Camry is the first Toyota to take the number one spot in three years, and this marks its fifth number one American-Made ranking.
According to Cars.com, the “American-Made Index rates vehicles built and bought in the United States. Factors include the percentage of parts considered “domestic” under federal regulations, whether the car is assembled in the U.S. and U.S. sales. Models with domestic parts content ratings below 75 percent are disqualified, as well as models built exclusively outside the U.S. or models soon to be discontinued without a U.S.-built successor.”
For the past 13 years, the Camry has held the title of America’s best-selling car and is currently produced in Georgetown, KY at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc. On top of that, the Camry Hybrid, Avalon Hybrid, and Avalon are all produced at the same site. The Kentucky facility is North America’s largest Toyota manufacturing facility and currently provides work to more than 7,500 people. They reach a milestone in production with their 10 millionth cars in 2014 and this fall they plan to begin production of the Lexus ES. With the Lexus ES Toyota also plans to bring 750 new jobs. The Sienna is manufactured at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Indiana, Inc. which employs 5,000 jobs and is still growing.
Carl Edwards Stops By Toyota
Towards the end of last month, Toyota added a video to their YouTube channel that followed Carl Edwards as he visited Toyota Motor Sales, Toyota Racing Development, and Toyota Motor Manufacturing. He discussed how impressed he was with the precision and focus that was put into each car and said he really understood why they were the best in the business. To hear exactly what Carl Edwards had to say, watch the video.

Toyota Buckle Up For Life
Ensuring the safety of all passengers is something that Toyota Motor Company is dedicated to. Part of keeping all passengers safe is making sure that everyone is properly buckled in, a factor that applies to passengers of all ages. When it comes to younger passengers, proper seat belt usage also means knowing how to properly install and use their car seat, something that can often be confusing given the amount of different types of seats available today.
As part of that mission, Toyota recently teamed up with the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center in order to create their new Buckle Up For Life Campaign. Through this campaign, the brand has created a website called buckleupforlife.org that parents can visit in order to find step-by-step instruction on the proper installation of all car seats. Parents simply have to select the type of seat that they have by answering a few simple questions and then they will be provided with installation instructions.
Check out the video above for more information on the Buckle Up For Life Program.
