Toyota City

2015 Toyota Vellfire

Any Toyota fans out there?  My childhood friend recently sent me these photo while he was holidaying at Toyota City.  Yeap, there is a town in Japan that is named after Toyota.  It is located in Aichi perfecture, east of Nagoya.  Toyota main manufacturer plant , Tsutsumi Plant is also located there.  The town used to be called Koromo but due to the strong ties with Toyota they changed it to Toyota-Shi or Toyota City in 1959.

The city population is almost the same as Brunei population with about 400,000 people living in the area serving mostly for Toyota.  These photos were taken at Toyota Automobile Museum by my friend.  I am sure there are a few more models on display but most likely we had already seen it on road already.
