With our continued obsession with SUVs, crossovers, and trucks, the best-selling car in America has to be special. Toyota’s Camry has slotted in at that top rank for the past 15 years, coming in just ahead of the Toyota Corolla and the Honda Civic in 2016. In this first year of the Camry’s eighth generation, the 2018 Toyota Camry bumps

By KyleAugust 17, 2017

Crossovers are changing the automotive industry with their record-breaking sales. So much so that many manufacturers are changing their M.O., shifting their focus to crossovers instead of sedans.

Toyota C-HR Hybrid review: Finally a Toyota I can recommend to friends

By KyleJune 20, 2017

From the Auris and the Avensis to the Yaris and the RAV4, all of Toyota’s recent mainstream cars have been depressingly vanilla. White goods.
