Toyota is at the forefront of today's marketing trends, and nothing proves it more than the company's new Google+ page. Toyota is actually among the first business to create an official page on the emerging social network, so it only makes sense that user activity is being closely monitored by the engineers and designers at Google.

In fact, the platform only launched in June of this year and up until recently, it has…

In an effort to further the development of in-vehicle interfaces, Toyota and Intel recently signed a memorandum of understanding. This means that they'll partner in the future to create a new infotainment system that offers drivers more of the information they need, while making it easier for them to digest it behind the wheel without having to take their eyes off the road.

With such a strong workforce, it shouldn't come as any shock that Toyota is now celebrating 15 years of solid production at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, West Virginia, Inc. (TMMWV).

To create this new, unique social networking experience, Toyota has teamed with Microsoft and the San Francisco based Salesforce.com.

While we knew that models like the upcoming Prius v were on the way, we were in the dark when it came to details. But, now we have been graced with a multitude of information concerning the highly anticipated Prius v, and we are excited to…

Toyota is staying as innovative as ever with their 'Ideas for Good' campaign. Recently, Toyota asked consumers how they would use any one of five Toyota technologies to create a new innovation outside of the auto industry. The choices for a platform to base the new idea on were the Total Human Model for Safety (T.H.U.M.B.S.), the Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD), the Advanced Parking Assist, the Touch Tracer Display, and…
