Michigan to Toyota: Keep Your Cars Out of Our Town

Japanese car maker Toyota had plans to shot a spot called, “Toyotaville” in the neighborhood of Cherry Hill Village in Canton, Michigan showing a Toyota parked in every driveway. That’s not exactly the sort of thing you try to do in America’s center of the automotive universe unless your an American car maker. Resident said “sorry, not in my backyard.” The deal ended. One canton resident told the Canton Observer, “Maybe I’m just old-fashioned. I don’t understand the excitement of Toyota in what is traditionally and what will hopefully continue to be Chrysler, Ford and GM country. Southeast Michigan, rightly or wrongly, was built on the automotive industry. I feel like there should be some loyalty to dance with the one that brought you.”
