For the third year running, Toyota has topped the list of automotive innovation in the United States. According to "Top 300 Organizations Granted U.S. Patents in 2016," a recently-released report from the Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO), Toyota was awarded 1,540 United States patents in 2016 -- more than any other car manufacturer. Not only that, but Toyota was the only auto maker to earn a place in the top 20 patent awardees -- along with other innovative companies such as IBM, Microsoft, Apple and Google.

Denny Hamlin and Toyota both just made history at Daytona 500.

Toyota has been competing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series since 2007, and the Toyota Camry has won 80 events in that time. Hamlin's first-place victory in February 2016 would mark his and Toyota's first win at the prestigious Daytona 500.

"It’s the biggest race of my life," Hamlin said, "this is the pinnacle of our sport and I’m just proud to be here."

It's true that making friends is important, but also important is considering what we leave behind us, and Toyota knows this most of all. Since most other hybrid models are sedans, what is there for the driver who wants to remain environmentally-friendly while also seating more people and fitting in their luggage? The 2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is your best bet, offering On-Demand All-Wheel Drive with Intelligence, heated front seats, the latest entertainment features, and safety features like integrated backup camera, navigation, and Siri Eyes Free.

Funny or Die, true to its name, knows how to deliver some laughs. In a recent skit, comedian Paul Scheer took Evan Mitchell, winner of the The Scion Bucket List Challenge, on a little road trip. Contrary to what you might have thought, this did not include any once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Rather, it involved running Paul's errands. Good one, Paul.
