If someone asks you to name an American car, we understand that you might not think Toyota. The automaker is based out of Japan, after all. But, that doesn't make it any less American. In fact, Edmunds.com lists Toyota as one of the most American auto brands out there.
How did they come up with that logic? The publication sourced the percentage of domestic parts used to build each model using information from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which you can also find on car stickers here in our Riverdale, UT showroom on all new Toyota models.
Among the vehicles that stood out were the Avalon, which has 80 percent of its parts coming from America, in addition to being designed, engineered and put together here. Another model that led the way was the Tacoma, finishing in a tie for first with 75 percent domestically sourced parts.
Really, the moral of the story is that you can have a brand name that isn't American literally, but that doesn't stop its products from being born and bred in the U.S.A., providing you with more opportunities to rock the freedom lifestyle 24/7, 365, open on Sundays. To learn more, stop in and see us at Tony Divino Toyota in Riverdale, UT today. Our team would be happy to get the ball rolling and discuss new Toyota models with you, answer any questions, detail the many lease and car loan options from our finance team serving Salt Lake City and Clearfield, plus arrange test drives at your convenience.
