FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Toyota is taking the next step in its quest for carbon-free travel with the launch of the Mirai hydrogen-fueled sedan.

The Japanese brand that pioneered the hybrid gas-electric powertrain sees hydrogen cars as the end-game, following plug-in hybrids and full-electric vehicles.

The region's new CEO, Johan van Zyl, told reporters on the sidelines of the Frankfurt auto show on Monday that "It's not a…

Pickup truck sales are doing much better than this time last year in just about every category, riding a tall and strong wave of production and product investment. Since Toyota produces both — its pickups — the midsize Tacoma and half-ton Tundra — at the same plant in San Antonio, it has a unique opportunity to increase production of both of its trucks with a single plant investment. To accomplish this, Toyota will add 275 people to the…

Your Toyota truck is tough-- nigh unstoppable. Because it can survive so much abuse, it might end up looking a little worse for wear on the outside. Just take this segment of Top Gear for example.

Top Gear host, Jeremy Clarkson, wanted to know just how much it would take to kill a Toyota. To get it to stop running and never start up again.

He found that physical abuse just wouldn't cut it-- he ran it down stairs, and into walls and trees, yet all the important engine parts stayed in place.

So he got clever. Salt water…

 
From The Christian Science Monitor:
The new 2016 Toyota Prius hybrid made its debut in Las Vegas Tuesday evening, where 350 guests, including Marion Toyota President Jeff Mayer, watched the latest model of the world's most popular hybrid carraised into the night sky at an elaborate event to mark its global launch.

But "it's not just about MPG any more," according to the press release--and that's the message from the launch event too: The new 2016 Prius is better-looking, more fun to drive...

Think about the investment you make when you drive off in a Toyota Prius. You are reducing your impact and carbon footprint on the world, leaving the environment a better place for your children and your grandchildren.

You are also investing in excellent gas savings over the life of the car. Naturally, the amount you save depends on how long your hybrid lasts.

Bob Old has been driving the same Toyota Prius since 2004, and he's racked up even more miles. He'll be taking the car in for its 43rd service appointment soon, at the 435,000 mile…

What do we at Marion Toyota like about our small, yet stout sedan, the 2015 Toyota Corolla? Truth be told, just about everything. It's just that good.

Should that response not suffice, the video review below will likely do the trick. Give it a gander to discover what this snazzy sedan has in store:

There are two engine options within the Corolla lineup. The base is a 1.8-liter four-cylinder that's rated at a respectable 132 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque.

Fuel for the 2016 Toyota Mirai is in your drinking water. We're not talking about a disastrous fuel spill-- this hydrogen fuel cell vehicle's fuel comes from the water!

The name gives it all away. Hydrogen. Hydro. Gen. Hydro is from the Greek root for water, and Gen is from the Greek root for creator. So hydrogen means "water-creator."

In fact, when you burn hydrogen in a fuel cell like the Mirai uses, all you get left over is water. No more harmful emissions.
