If there's one way for an automaker to prove their EV prowess, it's to win the demanding Pike's Peak International Hill Climb in the electric segment. Happily, that's exactly what Toyota did last year, against a myriad of well-known industry competitors. As the exact opposite of a one-hit wonder, the Japanese brand is looking to reclaim the green top spot at this year's popular event.

There's one sure-fire way to heighten anticipation around an upcoming 2014 model; keep the details silent and the unveiling big. That's exactly what our favorite Japanese automaker is doing with the imminent debut of the fifth-generation Toyota 4Runner, creating a frenzy of anticipation at our showroom serving Sunnyvale.

It's no secret that motorists in the Sunshine State are big fans of efficient vehicles. Proof of that can be found in sales of the various Toyota Prius trims; 65,490 of which were sold in California during 2012. Happily, the Japanese automaker is responding to that rampant consumer demand and is bringing more hybrid cars to the Sunnyvale area.

As your new and used Toyota experts serving greater San Jose, we're committed to providing you important information regarding your preferred model and our favorite Japanese automaker. Even after you drive your car home from our showroom at 898 West El Camino Real in Sunnyvale, CA, we're available.

It makes sense that we're enthusiastic about vehicles that offer advantageous fuel-economy. In California we're passionate about the environment and we're eager to battle the prices at the pumps. With that said, it was no surprise to us at Toyota of Sunnyvale that the Prius is popular in the Sunshine State.

Looking for Lexus-like luxury on a bit tighter budget? Look no further than the 2013 Toyota Avalon. Packed with fabulous convenience and comfort amenities and chock-full of style, the new Avalon is more opulent than ever!

Toyota and the friendly folks here at Toyota Sunnyvale are very concerned about our drivers' well-being. That's why we'd like to take the time to provide you with some details surrounding the latest Toyota recall. Recently, the auto brand stated that around 752,000 Corolla and Corolla Matrix and several similar models in Canada, Japan, and Mexico that were produced from December 2001 to May 2004 are being recalled due to the fact that their air bags can improperly inflate.

It's official. Super Bowl viewers everywhere are raving about this year's Toyota advertisement, which featured a very amusing "RAV4 Genie," played by Kaley Cuoco, star of "The Big Bang Theory." (You can watch it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iymBRSUfz9U).

Folks, there's no buts about it; the auto industry can be a pretty fierce place. Sure, you'd probably never tell from all the friendly faces over here at Toyota Sunnyvale

Changing the station, adjusting the volume, checking your blind spot, or shaving in the rear-view (a bad idea to begin with) - sometimes our biggest distractions on the road are right in our own car. With the exception of button controls on the steering column, it's been a while since we here at Toyota Sunnyvale have seen some real innovation in helping us keep our eyes on the road. But then along comes Microsoft and all that suddenly changes.
