We'll be blunt; we haven't given much love to the Toyota Echo, a car that was non-affectionately dubbed "The Clown Car" by this writer. Its tall roof and pudgy body made us think a dozen goofballs with frizzy orange hair and jumbo shoes would spill out when the doors opened. Mediocre cabin trim and shaky handling didn't help either.

While everyone was expecting to see the production version of the Toyota FT-86 sports car, the company has decided to tease us with yet another concept version of the car.

It’s been more than a year since Toyota unveiled the concept version of the FT-86 Coupe at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show. During that year, we’ve heard so many reports, rumors, and whispers about the car, that we’re beginning to think that this could very well be the second-coming of Toyota’s iconic Celica line.

Ten years ago an inexpensive, comfortable, well-built car like the 2007 Toyota Yaris would have been a slam dunk. In fact, it was a slam dunk. It was called the Corolla and it was one of the best-selling compact sedans of its time.

The folks over at PickupTrucks.com appear to have a video of what might be the 2012 Toyota Tacoma truck. The 2012 Tacoma is expected to be a refreshed model, but it’s almost impossible to distinguish the truck from the video from the 2011 model. Judging from screen shots below, the front end is definitely tweaked, but the side and rear end look identical to the current model.

The Toyota recall list for 2010, released by Toyota in January 2010, after the previous recalls in September 2009 and November 2009 has once again been a factor to reduce Toyota's popularity. Nevertheless, this world class brand and major automobile giant has made valiant efforts to get rid of all problems and help its clients.

Toyota is recalling around 2.3 mn cars from the United States.

Toyota’s most impressive debut at the Geneva Motor Show was obviously the FT-86 II Concept, but the Japanese automaker came to Switzerland with other impressive concepts as well, including the Yaris HSD concept. This HSD concept previews a production version set to be revealed in 2012.

Meet the new Prius v, a five-passenger midsize hybrid that gets an EPA estimated 42 mpg city and 38 mpg highway and spearheads Toyota's expansion of the Prius line from a single vehicle to the industry's first all hybrid-electric brand.

This is the truck Detroit has been nervously anticipating for years; the big kahuna of the Chicago Auto Show, the big (finally) Toyota Tundra. It arrives with three engine options, topping out with a 5.7-liter i-Force V-8 and six-speed automatic. Toyota didn't release power and torque figures at presstime, but we anticipate more than 330 horses and about 375 pound-feet.
