A Special Shout Out for the Service Department. Great Job Guys!

Yelp
"This review is for the service department. They have my car and are checking to see what the noise is under the front end. They found that my car skid plates are hitting the differential and that could be the noise. The staff in the service department are so helpful and friendly and very knowledgeable about Toyota vehicle."

Toyota Unveils 2013 Camry Nascar Sprint Cup Racer

Toyota Motor Corp. today unveiled its 2013 Camry race car for the Nascar Sprint Cup Series. The car’s rollout marks the end of a major redesign aimed at making the racer more recognizable and unique compared with Nascar competitors form Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge.

Nascar has been taking a number of approaches to making its races more exciting and its cars less generic. The cars that compete in the Spring Cup series had gotten to the point where only their headlight decals and other stick-on labels let spectators know what brand they represented.

“We’re thrilled to finally unveil our new 2013 Camry and we think NASCAR fans will really appreciate that our new on-track Camry looks like the one in their driveways,” said Ed Laukes, vice president of marketing communications and motorsports for Toyota Motor Sales. “Our 2013 Camry looks more like the production vehicle than ever before, and we hope this helps revitalize the long-standing relationship between fans and manufacturers in NASCAR.”

The car maker’s Toyota Racing Development or TRD unit worked with Toyota’s Calty Design department to incorporate more of the street car’s design elements in the racing version. These include the front grille, rear bumper and character lines on the car’s flanks.

The new 2013 Toyota Camry will make its Sprint Cup debut at Daytona International Speedway’s ‘Speedweeks’ in February, leading up to the season-opening Daytona 500.

Earlier this year Ford showed its 2013 Fusion racer and Chrysler’s Dodge unit revealed the redesigned Charger it will race next year. Chevrolet has shown a camouflaged version of its coming SS racer."

The Toyota F3R - A Modern Twist on the Minivan

F3r
Check out these amazing pictures of the F3R's interior!

We're happy to hear about your positive experience in this four-star review!

"We bought our new Toyota Highlander from Toyota Suunnyvale and really enjoyed the straight-forward, no hassle car purchase process. We were jerked around by Capital Toyota and Stevens Creek Toyota with the old bait-and-switch sales tactics. Toyota Sunnyvale made it easy to buy from them...and the service afterwards has been smooth."
