A car for college graduates?

"The Toyota Corolla is all new again, as the 11th generation model has rolled out for the 2014 model year. Corolla is the best selling vehicle in the world and has been part of the American marketplace for more than 45 years. Its bold, refreshing style is a welcome contrast to earlier models, a compact sedan sold in L, LE, LE Eco and S trim levels. And with a base price from $16,800, it just may be the kind of a new car that college students and recent graduates will consider."

Toyota and BMW working together on a co-developed sports car!

A couple of weeks ago we blogged about the Frankfurt Auto Show debut of the Yaris Hybrid-R hot hatch concept car that had a whopping 420hp burst of energy! Sadly however, that Yaris Hybrid-R is only a concept as of right now it seems like more of a trophy than a future production model. There is some good news for those who have been patient enough to wait for the next Toyota sports car. BMW and Toyota have teamed up to develop a joint sports car project. Details on the car are scarce, and we haven't exactly seen any concepts out on the Nürburg Ring yet, but there is quite a bit of buzz around this well branded collaboration that has some pretty high expectations from consumers that have come to love models like the BMW M3 and the Toyota Supra. We really hope this solidifies into something great and that even if the has a hybrid drive-train, it will be far more track oriented than its gas sipping cousins of the Prius family.  Let us know what you think the next Toyota sports car should feature by commenting below, posting on Facebook, or Tweeting us @ToyotaNCHS.

Our first 1794 Edition 2014 Toyota Tundra!

       Late last night we received our first 1974 Edition 2014 Toyota Tundra. Our first impressions are quite good. It's a very refined looking truck. The interior seems far more like that of a Sequoia platinum than a Tundra, which is actually quite nice. The seats in the 1794 Edition have a wonderful color on them and suede inserts with the 1794 Edition badge embroidered at the top of the seat. Check out the pictures below to hold you over until the Tundra Tailgate event this coming Saturday from 6-8pm.

Japanese cars built by American hands.

Over the past 50 years Toyota has built more than 25 million cars and trucks in North America with their 14 North American facilities 10 of which are located in the U.S.. Toyota's commitment to drive more local business hasn't stopped there, and they're in the process of investing another $28 million to expand power-train operations at two facilities in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In the past 20 months Toyota has invested about $2 billion in it's North American facilities, creating more than 4,000 new jobs and counting. We think it's great that Toyota is moving more of its research, design, and development efforts to U.S., and creating more jobs for the American people. It really is a testament to how committed Toyota is to it's North American market. 

We would love to get your input on what you think of Toyota's expansions. Feel free to comment below, on our Facebook page, or tweet us at @ToyotaNCHS. 

Here's a photo of the Toyota Technical Center at Ann Arbor, Michigan.

"Toyota Thanks Customers for Making The Corolla the Best-Selling "

Toyota's latest Press Release talks all about the Corolla and how it came to be the world leader in sales with over 40 million units sold. It's quite astonishing to think that one particular vehicle has had such a long life span and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. They've come along way with the Corolla and according to their press release they're just getting started. If you bought a Corolla in the last month, there's a possibility you bought the 40 millionth Corolla ever made, and judging by what Toyota did for the person who bought the 50 millionth Toyota, there might be something special in store for that you from Toyota.
