Toyotas around the world, snapshot: 2004

Introduction

Auto companies generally tailor their vehicles to particular markets, especially when those markets are large enough to support different models. Sometimes, the main difference is simply which engine is used, or which nameplate goes on; other times, the difference is far greater.

Dan Minick, of globalauto.org, was kind enough to provide this chart showing each Toyota model as it is sold in each major market. This table is a 2004 snapshot; substantial changes have been made since then, including the use of Lexus in major markets outside the United States, and the introduction of Scion.
