We're modifying a 2024 Toyota Prius Prime in an attempt to improve the handling and appearance and turn it into a hot hatch.

If the door lock on your 2023, 2024, or 2025 Toyota Prius or Prius Prime does not respond to being locked or unlocked by the remote then the door lock actuator is likely damaged.

Toyota is recalling over 550,000 Highlander and Highlander Hybrids from the 2021-2024 model years due to a problem with the rear seat’s recliner mechanism.

The arrival of the “flying car” or more precisely electric air taxis took another step forward with Joby Aviation’s first flight test in California March 11 to become Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) compliant.

The Toyota Camry has been the best-selling sedan in America for nearly three straight decades, so commonplace that it's hard to remember a time when they weren't everywhere. The first examples of the Camry reached our shores in the spring of 1983, and I just found one of those cars in a Denver-area car graveyard.

Friend of the site Connie Peters has a review of the 2026 Toyota Prius for you.

Today's UCOTD is a clean-looking 2005 Toyota MR2 Spyder.

Step by step instruction on removing a door panel on a 2023, 2024, and 2025 Toyota Prius and Prius Prime.

Looks like the 2027 Toyota Highlander is going all-electric.

Toyota has decided to reinvent the Highlander as an all-electric SUV for the 2027 model year. This is assuredly a response to the Grand Highlander gobbling up sales that would have gone to its little brother. But one still wonders if this is the best play for Toyota to make.

Super Bowl LX took place last night. And as per usual, several car companies plunked down money on ads.

Mega money, of course.

Which car ads were good? Bad? Meh?

Today's recall alert concerns several BMW models -- and one Toyota that shares a lot of its bones with a BMW.

Toyota Motor Co. announced it has shuffled its leadership team, looking to accelerate decision-making, and improving profitability in the process.

While the Datsun 280ZX still shows up with reasonably frequency in the big self-service car graveyards I frequent, discarded examples of its Toyota Celica Supra rival are much harder to find. Here's one that showed up at a Colorado Springs facility last summer.

We are test fitting GR Corolla suspension and brakes on a 5th Gen Toyota Prius Prime.

Today's recall alert involves the 2024-2025 Toyota Tundra.

Toyota’s reticence to make the jump into fully electric vehicles paid off big in 2025 as it reported an 8 percent sales increase for the year with hybrids playing a major role.

Let’s take a look at the all-new 2025 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro, a highly capable off-road vehicle that boasts impressive 4x4 performance. With a price tag of $70k, the question remains, is this the best off-roader on the market?

If you want to see more of this one, click here. It's for sale for $19,999 in Houston.

Today we have a 1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo for you all.

Toyota has confirmed that the Corolla will be making an official return to rally racing after a nearly 30-year sabbatical. The GR Corolla RC2 has been tapped to compete in the American Rally Association (ARA) championship for the 2026 season.

Known for its sensible, reliable cars, Toyota is a ubiquitous presence in the U.S. Despite this extreme popularity, the thing most Americans don't know is that the Japanese brand kept many of its most luxurious and fun cars for its home market.

No, we're not drunk -- not right now, anyway. There really does exist, out the in the world, a 1984 Toyota Celica Supra Boss 302. Meaning someone plunked a 302 cubic-inch mill into a 1984 Toyota Celica Supra.

On April 1, 2010, the final vehicle built at the New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. plant rolled off the production line. That vehicle was a red Corolla, and I spent years searching junkyards for a discarded Corolla built during the final few months of the storied GM-Toyota joint venture in Fremont, California. Finally, success!

Today we bring you a sports car that probably should've been more -- a 2000 Toyota Celica GTS.

Toyota has confirmed that its new supercar will soon debut and introduced a ticking clock to get everyone excited. But it’s hard not to be when this promises to be the most extreme performance vehicle the brand has ever offered to the general public. This is also the first time we’ve seen the car teased without camouflage, even if Toyota is still trying to hide the finer details.

Today we bring you a 1990 Toyota Celica.

Today we have a 1991 Toyota MR2 for ya.

A few weeks ago, I wrote a piece suggesting that I don't want to see automakers revoke access to Apple CarPlay -- not unless they come up with a better smartphone-mirroring system.

I still stand by that -- but three separate instances of CarPlay going bye-bye when I needed it suggests that the universe is trying to tell me something. Or, at least, it's laughing in my face.

We have a recall for some 2022-2024 Toyota and Lexus vehicles with the V35A engine.

Toyota brought the Scion name out of storage for a SEMA concept. Should it resurrect the brand?

The Scion brand was invented by Toyota for the North American market in a bid to cater to young drivers. Unfortunately, the effort failed and the marque was dissolved in 2016. Well, the name is back and has been applied to an absolutely mental side-by-side concept Toyota sent to the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) trade show.

Japanese automakers are considering importing U.S.-built vehicles back into Japan in a politically motivated play aimed at easing trade tensions with the Trump administration. Executives from Toyota and Nissan confirmed this week that they are looking at so-called “reverse imports,” an expensive idea that would see a small number of American-assembled vehicles sold in Japan.

Friend of TTAC Robin Warner has a walkaround of the 2025 Toyota 4Runner Trailhunter for you.

The Toyota Century is a unique luxury sedan manufactured by Toyota. While just about the antithesis of flashy, this understated-to-the-point-of-being-almost-invisible four-door is the pinnacle of Japanese domestic luxury.

Toyota has previewed the Land Cruiser FJ prototype in Japan, which looks like it could be one of the better compact off-road vehicles money can buy. But the odds of you using dollars (or euros) to purchase it are poor, as the manufacturer presently believes it’s better suited to markets other than our own.

Will Toyota's plan to make the Century a flagship brand work?

Ever since your author was but a wee tot, the hierarchy for Toyota and Lexus was simple -- Toyota was the mainstream brand and Lexus was the luxury flagship.

Enter Century -- what was once a model of Japanese-market luxury cars and limos will now become a flagship brand for Toyota. Even more luxurious than Lexus.

The Corolla Cross, a best selling small SUV from Toyota gets some light updates for 2026 including new styling on both the gas and hybrid models. 

Today's recall involves the 2025 Toyota Sienna Hybrid minivan.

Hey hey, it's podcast time!

Toyota and Lexus have been teasing wild-looking supercars for years, but we might finally see one of them head to production. Toyota recently shared images of Fuji Speedway in Japan, showing a couple of its iconic sports cars, along with a GR-badged supercar.

Today we bring you a drop-top 1992 Toyota Celica GT. Just in time for fall.

We have a recall alert for Toyota large trucks and SUVs -- specifically the Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid, along with the Toyota Sequoia.

We have a recall alert for you this afternoon. It involves 2025 Toyota Tacoma and Tacoma Hybrids.

Brand loyalty has taken a hit as tariffs have made some vehicles more expensive, driving buyers to other makes, but some automakers have held strong with customers. J.D. Power’s 2025 U.S. Automotive Brand Loyalty Study found that automakers that listen to their customers’ wants and needs are best positioned to maintain loyalty and grow their base.

Toyota revived the Supra several years back with help from BMW. That partnership yielded an impressive vehicle, but it also means that the Supra is wrapped into recalls that impact BMW powertrains. The Supra was recently recalled in an action that also affects the BMW 3-Series and X3.

The 2026 Toyota GR Corolla has been revealed in Japan and has predictably undertaken another round of changes designed to improve the car. As in the past, these focus primarily on further enhancing the scrappy little hatchback’s performance capabilities. But there have also been changes made to vehicle allocations and much-needed upgrades to its optional audio system. However, the latter item will be accompanied by some fake engine noises.

Will Toyota be able to successfully use data to change the charging behavior of EV owners?

The Toyota Research Institute has announced that it has been working on an app that leverages driver data to determine when you should be charging your electrified vehicle. While the best time to charge is probably whenever the owner determines it’s necessary, Toyota wants to utilize the data to modify behaviors that encourage drivers to charge automobiles whenever it’s deemed most environmentally friendly.

If you're going to go to the trouble and expense of importing an overseas-market car to the United States, would you choose a car that was sold here in nearly identical form? That's what someone did with this GDM Paseo, which I found in a Denver-area boneyard recently.

Toyota and Lexus have a relatively large recall happening.

Friend of TTAC Robin Warner is here to help you figure out which version of the 2026 Toyota Camry is right for you.

Valvoline Extended Protection High Mileage has kept our trusty 2008 Toyota Tundra running strong for over 370,000km, but it did leave Dave stranded recently for the first time ever. Find out what broke and how hard the fix was for Master Tech Nam at NV Auto.

Toyota is pressing forward with two new electric SUVs, and both will be built in America. The automaker recently told Reuters that it would build the upcoming three-row models at its facility in Kentucky, giving it a domestic production base as trade policies remain uncertain.
