Toyota worked with Subaru to give the world the FR-S/GT-86, and the idea clearly helped spur a desire for more sporting vehicles in the automaker's lineup. Competition from Mazda with the new MX-5 could also be putting pressure on the brand to make its next sports car light, inexpensive, and a...

Unlike some rivals, auto industry giant Toyota has been treading a slow and cautionary path towards the implementation of autonomous driving technology on its cars, though that is starting to change. For example, Toyota has just revealed that it’s testing a new autonomous car prototype based...

In 2014, Toyota rolled out a subcompact crossover concept at the Paris Auto Show. The concept vehicle, dubbed the C-HR, previewed an upcoming rival to the Nissan Juke that may end up packing a hybrid powertrain.

Toyota’s tough, go-anywhere Land Cruiser is receiving some significant updates for the 2016 model year, just like its corporate cousin, the Lexus LX 570, which appeared in updated form for the first time during this month's Monterey Car Week. Like the LX 570, Toyota’s latest Land...

The fourth-generation Toyota Prius has been spotted testing in prototype form, revealing a shape that worryingly is starting to look a bit like Toyota’s ungainly Mirai fuel cell car. Looking at this prototype, which was spotted testing in the United States, we can clearly see that the new...

Volkswagen will start production of a new mid-size SUV with third-row seats in 2016 at its plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, but the automaker won’t be discontinuing the two-row Touareg anytime soon. For the coming 2016 model year, VW is enticing Touareg buyers with a price reduction amounting...

It was in 2007 that the Volkswagen Group first made the bold prediction that it would become the world’s biggest automaker by sales volume by 2018. At the time, combined sales for all brands under its control were around half of those of all Toyota brands. Fast forward to today and VW has...

The Tacoma has long been a beloved small truck amongst those who put the pickup to work. Now that doesn't have to be just work in the 9-to-5 sense, of course. Tacoma owners seem to relish opportunities to get their trucks covered in dirt. That means adventure. That means fun. And that means Tacoma...

We now have our third look at the updated version of Toyota’s Land Cruiser, which in its current ‘200 Series’ form has been on the market since the 2008 model year. We’ll have to wait several more years until an all-new Land Cruiser is launched but in the meantime it looks...

Toyota raked in $18.1 billion in profit last year on the back of a reliable albeit somewhat dull lineup. We could now see some of those funds invested in building excitement in the brand. The automaker, run by performance-loving president Akio Toyoda, is keen to turn around the rather staid image...

The 1993 Toyota Supra stunt car used during filming for the original Fast and the Furious movie that came out in 2001—and driven by the late Paul Walker—has sold at auction for $185,000. It crossed the block last week at the Mecum Auctions event held in Indianapolis and landed right...

The FR-S might not be selling well (Scion sold just 1,000 examples last month, a 29 percent decrease from levels one year ago) but parent company Toyota is planning to launch two new sports cars, one above the FR-S and one below it. The model above the FR-S will be a spiritual successor to the...
