50 years of Toyota in the U.S.

On October 31, 1957, Toyota officially opened for business in the United States. The American auto business hasn't been the same since.

Celica
An inexpensive sporty coupe, the Celica was introduced with a 108-horsepower 4-cylinder engine. Later upgraded to a 2.2-liter engine, the Celica became the first car to win Motor Trend's "Import Car of the Year" award in 1976. It took the award again in 1978.

Toyota stopped selling the Celica in the United States in 2005, its place taken by the small Scion tC coupe. A total of 2.2 million Celicas have been sold here.
