Toyota Ranked First in Brand Loyalty According to KBB

Models including the 2012 Toyota Camry and Prius helped Toyota earn the number one spot in regards to Customer Brand Loyalty at KBB.com. Is it because Toyota cars are known for their safety? Maybe it is because Toyota cars are some of the longest lasting vehicles on the road today. Whatever the reason(s) are, it does not not come as a big surprise to the people at Toyota Of Wallingford.


 

KBB primarily did their research on customers in the 'shopping phase' - and included data from trade-in, private party searches, along with new car pages on their website. Akshay Anand, market web analyst for KBB.com, added, "Toyota has done a laudable job overcoming ? issues, introducing programs such as 'Toyota Care,' while getting its supply back online. The redesign of its flagship, the 2012 Toyota Camry, also helped drive interest to the brand and retain owners. All in all, there are positive trends for automakers. Traditional leaders like Toyota are leaving the problems in the past and looking toward bright futures?"1

2013 Toyota Corolla Spied Overseas

In case you weren't aware, the lauded Toyota Corolla is in for a redesign in its 2013 model year, and the Japanese automaker is currently testing it overseas. How does Toyota of Wallingford know this? If we were to say that we're employing a group of secretive spies to photograph the next-gen compact, we'd be lying. Rather, the test vehicle was simply spotted by a lucky bystander who happened to snap a couple quick shots of it.

Nonetheless, the pictures that our staff saw were enough to get us excited. The redesigned Corolla was seen sporting a hatchback body style (but we can safely expect a sedan variant), and it boasted some heavy camouflage in order to hide the finer points of the vehicle's reworked elements. This makes perfect sense, though, as Toyota doesn't want the vehicle's new look to surface before their official reveal.

However, no amount of camo can stop a well-trained eye from spotting some of the changes that Toyota has in store for the Corolla in 2013. So what has changed? First, there's the front-end grille. It's unique V shape caught our attention almost right off the bat. Meanwhile, other elements, like the headlights and body lines, are clearly inspired by the redesign that the 2012 Toyota Camry saw.

We don't know about you, but hearing this is more than enough to get us excited to see what else the Toyota Corolla has in store for the 2013 model year. For more details as they emerge, make sure to stay tuned. Everyone here at 859 North Colony Rd, Wallingford, CT is dedicated to keeping you informed!

Toyota Proud to show off 2012 Camry Pace Car for Daytona 500

Toyota is prepared to make history by being the first non-American automaker to supply the pace car for the Daytona 500. The track-taming vehicle in question is a Toyota Camry SE, with a powerful 268-hpV6 engine under the hood.

While the Camry itself is impressive and has been bestowed with some impressive enhancements, some question whether or not Toyota has truly earned the right to be featured in the "Great American Race,". This question has sparked Toyota Of Wallingford to go over the contributions that Toyota has made to the NASCAR community, since first becoming involved on the track.

  • 2004, the Tundra began racing in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS),
  • 2007, the automaker officially entered into the Camry into the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) and NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS)

Since, then, they've managed to win 3 manufacturer's titles in a row in the NASCAR Nationwide Series (2008-2010) while registering 60 individual race victories along the way. Meanwhile, in the NASCAR Spring Cup Series, Toyota has managed to pick up 36 victories.

We think that Toyota has, without question, earned the right to pace the Dayton 500 with the victory-hungry Camry. After all, both the Camry and Tundra have managed to snag 8 NASCAR wins at the infamous track, including 3 national touring series wins, and 5 NCWTS wins.

For any automaker to tame the legendary track in such a short period of time is truly a feat to be admired, and Toyota Of Wallingford, located at 859 North Colony Rd, Wallingford, CT 06492, is looking forward to catching all the Daytona action on February 25th.
