Review: Toyota iM is a brand worth buying into


Toyota has said it plans to phase out the Scion brand at the end of the year, but the cars such as stylish Scion iM hatchback will not disappear since demand for small, subcompacts remains surprisingly robust even as sales of pick-up trucks and utility vehicles rise.

The subcompact segment might even expand as city-dwelling buyers, both young and old, search for vehicles that can fit into increasingly scarce parking spaces in urban areas, while…

Toyota's uBox concept was designed for the entrepreneurial Generation Z



Millennials make the headlines these days. Whether it’s about their job prospects in the 21st century economy, or how they’re changing the future in some way or another. However, there’s another generation that industry is paying attention to, and that’s Generation Z.

Watch People Climb Toyota and Saatchi's Insane RAV4 Rock Wall in Times Square


We've already seen obnoxious, stupid yet fun billboards that play with the form in delightful ways. And last week, Toyota joined the list of major brands shaking up out-of-home with a scalable rock wall it erected right in the middle of Times Square.

The execution—a climbing wall on a billboard—created by Saatchi & Saatchi in Los Angeles, is not only the first of its kind in Times Square but also the tallest outdoor…

2017-Toyota-Corolla-50th-PLACEMENT

Toyota's long victory lap for the Corolla this year began at the 2016 New York Auto Show with the debut of its 50th Anniversary Special Edition and sporty-ish XSE models.

The Scion FR-S is Reborn as the Toyota 86 in New York

Toyota GT86 revamp for New York show


If the above Scion FR-S looks slightly different, it’s because it is. The front fascia has been tweaked and slightly shaped for 2017, the headlamps have been reworked to house more LEDs, and it’s the same story around back. The Subaru-derived boxer engine now puts out 205 horsepower and 156 pound-feet of torque, bumps of five horsepower and five pound-feet respectively. But unless you live outside of North America, the biggest change isn’t the power or the shape: It’s the new badge adorning the bonnet and decklid.

Since 2013...

Back On The Road


Upon the launch of the North American leg of the Ever-Better Expedition in June, Toyota North America CEO Jim Lentz set out a vision.

"These cars may have been conceived in an engineer's mind," Lentz said. "But they were born on the road. And it's time to get them back to the place of their birth."

And that's exactly what they did, as more than 140 engineers and team members drove a…
