Visalia, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/10/2011 -- As part of the extended Toyota family, Fresno Scion shoppers and owners are excited to hear all of the latest news from the Toyota Company. To start off the New Year, Toyota recently released their annual year-end report full of juicy tidbits straight from their newsroom. With another year of accomplishments under their belt, Toyota and Scion look to leave their mark on 2011.

Fresno Scion Owners Love Their Cars

In addition to creating cars that people love, last year Toyota also increased their investments and involvement within local communities, and added a few more accolades and awards to their trophy room.

Fresno Scion and Toyota shoppers will be particularly pleased to learn that as of last year, all new Toyota vehicles come standard with the Star Safety System, which is a combination of five accident avoidance technologies. Vehicle stability control, traction control, an anti-lock brake system, electronic brake-force distribution, and brake assist make up the Star Safety System package. New Scion and Toyota vehicles also feature Smart Stop Technology.

In 2010 Toyota further increased their support of their employees, their American production facilities, and local programs. Despite the turbulent economic times, Toyota continues to offer job security to all full-time employees. The Toyota Company has also invested in the improvement of the San Antonio production facility and in the creation of the new Mississippi plant, which, when completed, will create new jobs. School systems, charities, and environmental programs have also benefited from Toyota’s backing.

Fresno Scion and Toyota owners shouldn’t be surprised to hear that Toyota is still the #1 selling retail brand in America. Consumers and auto enthusiasts alike recognize that Toyota makes quality cars. In 2010 seventeen of Toyota’s vehicles were rated most reliable by Consumer Reports, many of their models also made the 2011 Kelley Blue Book “Top Ten” list of cars with the Highest Resale Value, and Toyota regained the top spot as the Most-Considered Automobile Brand according to Kelley Blue Book. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) also selected several Toyota vehicles as “Top Safety Picks”.
