Toyota South

The Toyota Prius can do it all. It can save you money on gas, look good doing it, and offer a smooth ride with great handling. But can it go camping? Apparently, that's the hot-button issue with the Toyota hybrid in Japan, as one company is planning to release an add on for the Prius that turns it from a mid-size hatchback into a fully capable camper.

Now some of you out there may…

These days Toyota is certainly well known for producing quality hybrid models like the Prius v and Camry hybrid, but that doesn't mean the company doesn't still love a good day at the tracks. Rather, the company recently decided to expand its participation in NHRA drag racing, and we here at Toyota South couldn't be more excited.

Previously, Toyota had supplied the organization with  body stylings for drag racing and funny car…

If there's one thing that we here at Toyota South can say about our favorite Japanese automaker, it's that they're never done giving back to the people and communities that support them. And why would they be? Toyota is defined by a spirit of giving that many other companies simply don't embrace, and it has served them well thus far.

So what is Toyota doing to give back this time? The…

Toyota may have faced some hardships in 2011, but that doesn't mean that the company is ready to call it quits in 2012. We are talking about the markers of the game-changing Toyota Prius after all. Rather, Toyota is charging into 2012 with a more ambitious game plan than any of their competitors.

What specifically does Toyota have in store? The most defining aspect of the Japanese automaker's plan is to introduce ten…

We here at Toyota South love technology as much as the next guy, but it seems like more and more youth are interested in their tablet computers or Smartphones than they are in cars. This is something that Toyota has noticed, and is actively looking for a solution to. After all, the Japanese automaker produces some of the highest-quality autos on the road today, so why wouldn't they want to maximize their appeal?

As it turns out, quite a bit. See, Toyota and Beamer recently signed a memorandum of understanding in the development of a new car battery to be used in hybrid models. This, combined with the company's other deal with the Blue Oval, is sure to bring their already impressive hybrid platform to new levels of superiority, and we here at Toyota South are thrilled to see where it goes.

Aside from the development of…

We here at Toyota South love the SEMA Show. It's a chance for automakers around the world to show off what they're most exciting models are really capable of, and it never ceases to impress us. Take for example, a new variant of the already loved Toyota Tacoma that was shown off at the show this year.

Known as the Oakly Surf Tacoma, the vehicle features everything that any true surfer would need…

Toyota recently invested a healthy $1.3-billion into constructing a new plant just outside Tupelo, MI in order to keep up with the increasing demand for the fuel-efficient and reliable Toyota Corolla. Production at the plant was previously delayed due to various circumstances surrounding the economy and parts suppliers, but now it looks as if the first Corolla could roll off the plant's assembly line quite soon.

In honor of this milestone, Toyota Motor…

When it comes to producing top-quality hybrid vehicles, Toyota is second to none. Just ask anyone here at Toyota South what they think of the hybrid powertrains that the Japanese automaker produces, and they'll tell you it's impossible to go wrong with them! Vehicles like the Toyota Prius, which is quickly growing into a full hybrid lineup, and models like the Toyota Camry Hybrid are paving the way for a new era of…

At Toyota South, we've always prided ourselves on offering some of the best vehicles on the road today. From the Toyota Highlander and hybrid Toyota Prius, there is no segment that Toyota doesn't master with the quality and dependability they're known for. As such, it only makes sense that they'd be recognized as the top automaker in the industry by a wide range of organizations.

This is where the Interbrand "Best…
