Toyota Helps You Have the Stopping Power You Need

Toyota has taken steps to add items to your vehicle to make sure you can know your brakes are in good working order to allow you to have the stopping power you need on the road. (more…)

A Development that Could Benefit Many Car Companies

One of the most challenging aspects of driving a plug-in hybrid or EV model is the range of the vehicle and how far you have to go. These vehicles have been built to offer you some of the most aerodynamic shapes to help cut down on resistance and improve the distance you can travel on a single charge. For the most part, EV technology has come a long way and we now see models on the road that can last an entire day of driving before needing to be charged up overnight. (more…)

Succumbing to the Pressure

In the automotive market, there are often cars that are built as a reaction to the pressure from the competition. When one automaker builds a style of vehicle the rest have to follow, especially if the trend is successful on the first vehicle. Soon we see an entire market change toward this new style of vehicle that’s no longer new but a successful and impressive class of vehicle. This was certainly the case as SUVs began to get smaller and that part of the market hasn’t even reached its peak yet, but there’s another part of the market that’s changing and more automakers are getting on board than ever; the hot hatch.

Toyota is Becoming Environmentally Responsible

As the largest auto manufacturer in the world and one of the most impactful companies for the American economy, Toyota has laid out a plan to become more environmentally responsible and friendly over the next several years. This positive impact plan has been outlined and already put in place for Toyota to show a positive change right away. Over the past year this company has already reduced the water usage in North American by nearly 100 million gallons and plans to add a 7.75 megawatt solar setup at the new Toyota headquarters in Plano, Texas to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions by 7,122 metric tons.

2017 Toyota Highlander: Midsize Perfection

We’ve loved the Highlander for many years and it’s become one of those iconic vehicles on the road.

This is still one of the best SUVs you can buy on the market, as it has been for many years. (more…)

2017 Toyota Sequoia: Strength in More than Just the Name

When you want to buy a large SUV that offers you the power you need and the capability you’ve been looking for you don’t always have to go to the largest models on the market. What would you think of a full sized SUV that offers you 7,400 pounds of towing capacity, the Multi-model 4WD system and a powerful V8 engine? You would probably want this SUV and feel this is a vehicle that can give you exactly what you want on the drive. The SUV with these features is the Sequoia and it’s ready for you to drive it off the lot of your nearby Toyota dealer. (more…)

Scion, Toyota

The Toyota Sports Car You Will Love

The Scion brand was only around for a short thirteen years. This sub brand from Toyota was meant to strike a chord with younger shoppers to ensure they could purchase a great vehicle at a reasonable price. The overall thought was to offer a brand of vehicles that had only a few options to help keep the pricing consistent and affordable. The transition for a car shopper of Scion was for them to purchase the Scion at an early age, move to a Toyota model in the second phase of car ownership and eventually head to the luxury arm of Toyota by purchasing a Lexus model later in their lives.

Camry vs. Camry; It Doesn’t Even Sound Interesting

When you consider the best-selling midsized sedan on the market today you get exactly what you expect. This is a car that can easily get from home to work and back, run errands for you, be a great car for a weekend date or a night out with the kids at a movie and is an all-around great member of the family. While the Camry may be your favorite car for your daily driving duties you don’t expect it to be powerful or fast in any way, and for the most part that is the case with this car. (more…)

What’s the Holdup?

We were supposed to already see the new subcompact crossover SUV on the market for Toyota. This SUV would carry the name of the C-HR that was shown in concept form and offer the same polarizing good looks and futuristic body structure, but somehow this new small SUV has been delayed. Did this SUV end up needing a revision in style due to costs? Are we going to get an SUV that looks completely different and be let down by the fact we were expecting to see something similar to what was shown at the various shows this vehicle came to? (more…)

2016 Toyota 4Runner: The Toughness You Want

When you think of the body on frame SUVs that are still on the market the 4Runner should come to mind as a leading candidate. It may not have the ride or high-tech features of some of the other models, but this is an SUV that takes a beating and comes back up asking for more. You can certainly appreciate the 4Runner not only for the toughness it provides but also for the reputation of capability, longevity and resale value that have been part of the 4Runner name for the entire time this SUV has been on the market.
