Hello everyone! Fred Marks here continuing my monthly blog series dedicated to the latest news from Toyota. This month, I’d like to highlight the prominence of the Toyota nameplate in the 2013 J.D. Power and Associates Vehicle Dependability Study and the implications that these honors have on our customers. In this study, seven models from Toyota and associated brands earned top honors in their respective categories.
2013 Toyota Matrix S AWD: Dynamic and Capable
On a recent trip to the mountain for some snowboarding, I had the opportunity to ride in the passenger seat for once. During this time away from the wheel, I was able to observe all of the vehicles that people depend on to handle mountain conditions. To be brief, most of what I saw was trucks and SUVs. Which led me to an interesting question: are there mountain-ready hatchbacks out there for the drivers who don’t want an SUV or truck? And I immediately thought about the 2013 Toyota Matrix S AWD.
Get it done this year in the 2013 Toyota Tundra
While we don’t have an exhaustive list of everything that the 2013 Toyota Tundra can do, we know one immense thing it is capable of: On October 12, 2012, the Toyota Tundra towed the retired Space Shuttle Endeavour across the freeway in Los Angeles. Yet along with impressive towing capacity, the Toyota Tundra brings a wide range of dynamic capability to the everyday driver, the kind of things one looks for when they are ready to get it done in 2013.

Hello everyone! Fred Marks here continuing my monthly blog series dedicated to the latest news from Toyota. As you know, I’m inclined toward writing about all of the good philanthropic work that our nameplate does in communities across the country. Already this year, Toyota has collaborated with the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center to donate 10,000 child car seats to families in need. The donation is part of a broader, nationwide campaign to raise awareness about child passenger safety. As one of many Waukegan car dealers, we here at Classic Toyota understand the importance of such campaigns, as well as some key points about child car safety that are often overlooked.
Get it done this year in the 2013 Toyota Yaris
Now that glow of the new year is beginning to wear off, it’s time to make good on some resolutions. If you’re anything like me, then perhaps you vowed to be more efficient in 2013, whether it be at work or out on the asphalt. In the latter regard, the 2013 Toyota Yaris has you covered. This fun little subcompact has established itself as a leader in the category thanks to practical features, strong fuel economy and a hip, modern design. Read on to find out how the Yaris can help you do 2013 right.
Prius family shines in December
December figures are in for Toyota and, apart from the steady performance of the Corolla, the Prius family made a considerable splash last month. Overall, the Prius family saw a sales increase of over 73 percent compared to December 2011. The introduction of the 2013 Toyota Prius v certainly played an important role in the family’s December momentum. Here is an overview of this exciting, fuel-efficient addition to the Toyota line.
Hello everyone! Fred Marks here continuing my monthly blog series dedicated to the latest news from Toyota. We have had a lot to report on this month, including strong November sales numbers and the introduction of the 2013 Toyota Avalon. This month I’d like to add the 2013 Toyota Camry into the mix of good news. This ever-popular sedan is on the way, and we think that our customers have a lot to look forward to.
A warm welcome to the 2013 Toyota Avalon
Hello and happy holidays from Classic Toyota.
There has been plenty of good news to report from Toyota lately, from strong sales numbers to new releases. I am pleased to add more exciting news to the mix: the 2013 Toyota Avalon has been released. The Avalon, already a leader in the sedan category, has been refreshed and redesigned, making it the perfect choice for a broad range of drivers. What’s more, the production of the Avalon makes it the 25 millionth vehicle manufactured by Toyota in North America.
Toyota recently announced some very strong sales numbers for November 2012. The nameplate’s American division saw sales of over 161,000 unites, a 17.2 percent increase compared to November of last year. Passenger car sales, which saw a 16.5 percent increase compared to November 2011, were led by the ever-popular 2013 Toyota Corolla, which posted its best November to date, with a 40.3 percent increase in sales compared to November 2011.
