When Toyota released the first Prius over a decade ago, it completely revolutionized the way people thought about fueling up - mostly because it boasted a whopping 41 miles to the gallon. Since then, many automakers have tried to duplicated this successful formula, while Toyota merely improved upon their winning little Prius. As such, today, the Prius is still the ubiquitous hybrid roaming the streets of America, and it's capable of up to 51 mpg...

Imagine if your car could predict your mood and adapt to make you safer behind the wheel? Sounds pretty futuristic, we know - but it's really not that far off. Toyota has been developing mood-sensing technology for more than half a decade now, and a recent statement from the automaker reports that parts of this important safety technology will find their way into the lineup before 2020.

Thinking about investing in a new car? Thinking about leasing? Well Toyota has announced a new policy that will make financing your new Toyota even easier. It's called the Excess Wear & Use (EWU) Protection Plan, and it's designed to enhance your peace-of-mind during your time with your vehicle.

Mike Groff, Toyota Financial Services Group VP; Sales, Marketing and Product Development, explains, "We developed EQU in collaboration with dealers and industry advisors with the...

Early in March, Toyota released a teaser photo of their all-new 2013 Venza. Aside from the headlight, however, we really couldn't make any solid predictions about what to expect from the updated crossover. But, with just a couple weeks until the show, they've released some more information about it - now all we have to do it wait until the show to see how it looks!

We do know that it's being reshaped...

It probably wouldn't surprise you to hear that the reason some major automakers avoid selling to rental companies and other fleet services because it's generally less profitable than selling to individual buyers. In the last five years, Toyota's monthly fleet sales haven't gone up past 15 percent of their total sales, but it seems that this could be changing - at least, temporarily.

Why would a company change their mind about fleet…

Buying a used vehicle is not as straightforward as buying a new car, is it? There's no way to know who owned the car before it rolled into the dealership. You can't tell just by looking at it if it was ever in an accident or if it had any major issues.  Chances are, though, most of the pre-owned vehicles you'll find at reliable Toyota dealerships like Deland Toyota Scion will last...

When Kiichiro Toyoda first travelled to the United States to learn about car production in the 1920s, we're sure he could hardly imagine that one day, his company would be celebrating the 25-millionth vehicle produced in the United States. But, this year, that's exactly what Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc (TEMA) plans on doing.

So, how'd Toyota get to 25 million? Obviously it's taken a lot of time and...

City drivers have different needs than suburban drivers, or those of you lucky enough to live down a winding country road. We could all benefit from a vehicle that's as fuel-efficient as possible, but in the city, it also needs to be easy to maneuver and easy to park without sacrificing any amount of fun-factor. Toyota most recently answered the call for a fuel-efficient city car with the 2013 Toyota Prius C, officially unveiled...

When Toyota launched the ubiquitous Toyota Prius, it changed the entire automotive landscape. It signaled to drivers that stellar fuel-economy didn't come at the sacrifice of top-notch safety, handling, cargo space or even style. And since then, automakers all around the world have released some very impressive green-machines, and they're getting greener by the day. In fact, all-electric vehicles have recently taken the spotlight, and Toyota has announced plans to take a substantial...

If you're anything like most of us here at Deland Toyota Scion, you probably have fond memories of your first car. That's right, the car handed down from your mom and dad, or maybe you worked hard all summer to buy it from the guy down the street - and sure, maybe the odometer didn't start at zero, and maybe somebody else had already worn all the plush material off the seats, but...
