Toyota cars, trucks, and minivans (with Lexus and Scion)
Concept cars and car reviews are now on separate pages
The classics
- 2000GT — the one-year-only, Yamaha-powered, attention-grabbing sports car
- Corona (Avensis) — the “pre-Corolla”
- Cressida — Toyota’s go-to upscale car before Lexus arrived, also sold as the Mark II, Chaser, and Cresta
- Crown — One of the very first Japanese cars in the USA
- Starlet — A well-liked car that only ran from 1981 to 1984 in the US, and 1973 to 1999 elsewhere.
- Hi-Lux — Globally popular compact pickups, as sold in the USA
The current cars, crossovers, minivans, and trucks
- 4Runner — off-road capable, ten years old and still somewhat fresh
- Avalon (Pronard) — a longer, more luxurious version of the Camry
- Corolla (Fielder) — one of the most popular cars in the world, the go-to compact (also see Corolland.com which has big Corolla forums)
- Camry — the American-influenced midsize car that dominates USA sedan sales
- Highlander: new hybrid, powerful V6 (prior version)
- Land Cruiser — the huge, go-anywhere, rare Toyota
- Prius — the first and still the most popular and eminent modern hybrid-electric car (to be updated)
- Project Portal: fuel cell powered big rig
- RAV4 — the most popular non-pickup vehicle in the United States (prior versions)
- Sequoia — the big modern SUV
- Sienna — for 2021, the only “hybrid-standard” minivan
- Tacoma — America’s favorite compact/midsize pickup (prior versions)
- Tundra — the big full-size, fuller-snout pickup (prior versions)
- Venza — Camry-based crossover, now all-hybrid and all-AWD for 2021
- Yaris — the entry level car that used to be the basis for all the Scions
The rare failures
- Scion, the brand that didn’t quite make it
- FJ Cruiser, the long-awaited return of the Toyota FJ, which fizzled on arrival
- Previa, the minivan that failed to get much of a following
- MR2 (MR-S) sports car
- T100, the full-size pickup that had high prices and low gas mileage, space, and power
