As we previously predicted, you won't have to wait until November to see the 2014 Corolla.

The refreshed model finally made a live appearance in front of a crowd of 750 drivers, media members, and fans in Santa Monica, California. Our Toyota South staff wasn't in attendance, but we still think that the look alone makes this new Toyota well-worth celebrating.

A more dramatic grille framed by LED lights catches your eye right…

They say that it's what's on the inside that counts. Well in this instance, it's absolutely true. As you might imagine our staff here in Richmond was very pleased to hear that the 2013 Toyota Avalon was named in Ward's 10 Best interiors of 2013.

That being said, it didn't come as much of a surprise as the Avalon is certainly no stranger to recognition this year. Keep in mind?

Now in its 24th year of operation, Toyota Motor Manufacturing, West Virginia (TMMWV) celebrated an impressive milestone in early May, 2013. Here at Toyota South, we were pretty impressed to learn that TMMWV has produced its 10 millionth powertrain unit.

It may sound like something out of a spy-spoof movie, but no, that's a genuine figure. To put things into perspective that number of powertrain units combined adds up to an output of a…

Toyota fans can get very impatient when they want to see the next year's edition of their favorite models now.  We've heard many people at our Richmond, KY showroom ask when the production-ready 2014 Corolla will be revealed in all of its glory, and we can now say that you won't have to wait until the Los Angeles Auto Show in November (we know how far away that deadline seemed).  All we know is that it will be unveiled before that show and somewhere in the United States.

We know that our customers in the greater Richmond, KY area love how little they time they spend at the gas station when they're driving a hybrid or electric vehicle from Toyota.  We have a great selection here at Toyota South now, including the Avalon Hybrid, but the Japanese automaker just announced that it plans to bring 20 new or redesigned hybrids to its lineup, which includes Lexus and Scion.

Here at Toyota South, we know that it can be very difficult to find a new vehicle that has the features and performance that you want while staying within a budget.  Luckily for our customers in the greater Richmond area, U.S. News puts out a list of the Best Cars for the Money and the 2013 list includes no less than five vehicles from the Toyota Motor Corporation, which includes Scion and Lexus.

Every year, there are always a few outstanding concepts at the Geneva Motor Show that are hard to forget.  In a setting filled with cutting edge technology and futuristic designs, Toyota wowed at this year's show with its new personal mobility vehicle, the three-wheeled i-Road.

In this day and age, it's incredibly inconvenient and just plain annoying when your phone dies when you aren't at home or work to charge it.  You're disconnected and could miss out on a critical call or text.  Thankfully, the new 2013 Toyota Avalon was designed with a built-in solution to this problem.

We hear a lot of exciting news here at Toyota South, but nothing gets us buzzing like a really exciting video about some of Toyota's potential new inventory.  Thankfully, our favorite automaker has done just that, giving us a glimpse of their new Furia concept car.  Even though we only got a very small peek, we're very pleased with what we saw.

The world we live in today is perpetually growing more connected. And like it or not, technology has become a mobile commodity, as smartphones gradually become the norm in cell phone ownership. At Toyota South, we love the advances in tech that Toyota has made. One of our favorite options in the lineup of new Toyota vehicles is the 2013 Toyota Avalon, and as far as connectivity goes, this model is a top selection. We...
