Leaks are often indicative of a problem if you're out on a watercraft or if you're trying to keep a big piece of news under wraps. Ultimately, it depends on how you look at it. Nobody likes spoilers, but sometimes leaks and other unintended news can draw excitement and get people ready with anticipation for what's to come. In this case, we're really happy there was a leak in the great ship of Toyota because it's showed us that there are several new models on the way that will definitely shake things up for drivers and loyal fans. If we've peaked your interest, let's take it a step further with some additional details from us at Toyota of Clermont! New Toyota Models Are On The Way Leaks can be very polarizing for a variety of reasons. Some people don't like spoilers, they can be a nightmare for those trying to keep the news discreet, and they can also generate a lot of excitement for the future of a product or event. In the case of Toyota, we think it's safe to say that this leak about some upcoming new Toyota models is generating a lot of excitement among us and other Clermont drivers. Here are some of the details covered and what we might have coming our way: A New Toyota GR86 It's been speculated for some time that the Clermont Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ has been due for a facelift and that might become reality soon. The new Toyota sport coupe will be a little sibling to the new Supra that will receive GR branding, a turbocharged engine, a new construction platform, and a 50 horsepower bump. According to the leak, this new Toyota model will release sometime in summer 2021. The 300 Series Land Cruiser We currently have a piece regarding this possible upcoming vehicle and this leak seems to suggest that the 300 Series Clermont Toyota Land Cruiser is happening. It will likely strip away many of the luxury features that made the J200 Series so expensive and instead opt for a off-roading friendly version favored by longtime fans of this Toyota classic. New Toyota Tundra Allegedly releasing in the 4th quarter of 2021, a new Clermont new Toyota model Tundra is slated to be released with a plethora of changes in store. A new chassis will be used, there's a rumor of a hybrid version, and it may ditch the traditional V8 engine for a twin-turbo V6. Toyota Corolla Wagon While trademark filings don't always mean that a new something is on the way (some are taken out for insurance policies or for *possible* future use), we're hopeful this one comes to fruition. In Europe and Australia there exists a version of the Clermont Toyota Corolla called the Corolla Touring Sport and it might be making its way to North America in the form of a Corolla Wagon. Toyota recently filed the trademark for this new Toyota model so we're hopeful it may make its way to this side of the pond. Are you excited for the arrival of these new Toyota models?

When you want options for your next ride, you should shop Toyota. After all, the brand is pretty well known for having a lot of options - whether you want a sedan, SUV, truck, van, hatchback, sports car, hybrid, or coupe, there's something for you in the Toyota lineup. And we just got word that yet another model is being thrown into the mix - in Europe, at least. The 2022 Toyota Yaris Cross will be joining the family and Toyota of Clermont has the details on what this innovative new Toyota SUV will have to offer when it hits dealerships. Get to know the 2022 Toyota Yaris Cross The 2022 Toyota Yaris Cross is sort of a "big brother" to the original Clermont Toyota Yaris - it's more spacious and has different performance features, but it does share some similarities. Let's take a look at the info we've got on this brand-new Toyota compact SUV! It won't be available in the US. The 2022 Toyota Yaris Cross will only be up for grabs in Japan this fall (of 2020) and Europe at some point next summer (2021). We won't see it stateside, probably because we have the Toyota C-HR in our lineup at Toyota of Clermont. The new Toyota Yaris Cross was supposed to be debuted at the Geneva Motor Show way back in the beginning of March, but COVID-19 obviously threw a wrench in that. That's why Toyota decided to unveil the new Toyota SUV on their website last week instead. The Toyota Yaris Cross has some similarities to the Toyota Yaris, as noted, but it definitely differs when it comes to performance. While it sits on an Clermont Toyota Yaris wheelbase, it's taller, more spacious inside, and has longer overhangs to overall just be a bigger and more SUV-like vehicle that its predecessor. It'll also offer a hybrid model, something the current Toyota Yaris doesn't. The Cross will come with a 1.5L 3-cylinder engine under the hood, optional all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive, and the choice of CVT or a six-speed manual transmission. When it comes to appearance, the interior of the Toyota Yaris Cross does share some similarities with the original model. However, as noted it's more spacious and will offer both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto via its large touchscreen interface in the dash. How about the exterior? This new Toyota trends more toward the design of the Clermont Toyota C-HR than the Toyota Yaris. It boasts angular design elements, a two-toned paint scheme, edgy new taillights and headlights, black wheel arch surrounds, and more. It's more aggressive, and also more sophisticated than its sibling. See how the Clermont Toyota C-HR stacks up today We won't see this new Toyota SUV at Toyota of Clermont (like, ever) but if you like the look of it, get behind the wheel of the Toyota C-HR to see if it fits your needs! You can schedule a test drive today at (352) 404-7000, or stop by and see us at 16851 State Road 50, just west of the Florida Turnpike.

This week has been a bit slow when it comes to the latest Toyota news in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic (stay safe and healthy out there). Apart from the recent development of Toyota's new airless automotive paint atomizers (it decreases emissions by 7% and is far more efficient and definitely worth checking out, if you're interested), there's not too much to report on for this week. However, we at Toyota of Clermont have done some digging and we've found the perfect story to help you through your social distancing efforts. This week, we're taking you on a journey with the legendary classic Toyota, the AE86 and how that translated into the now iconic Toyota 86. Follow along with us at Toyota of Clermont as we chronicle the story behind this classic Toyota! The Fabled Toyota AE86 While a quick Google search of the Toyota AE86 will reveal little information about this vehicle (aside from its actual name being the Toyota Corolla Levin or Sprinter Trueno), but there's more to this 80s classic than meets the eye. While most of us here on the west side of the globe are probably unfamiliar with the Japanese racing scene, those who are will know the significance of this Clermont classic Toyota. In Japan, the AE86 is an iconic racing vehicle, especially along the Hakone turnpike. This windy roadway is famous for its racing passes and drift-ability and the AE86 has seen many a kilometer along this mountain pass. Keiichi Tsuchiya, better known as the "Drift King," drove his signature Toyota AE86 which catapulted the racing segment and the vehicle to stardom. A popular manga franchise, "Initial D" also made the AE86 iconic as the story, centered around a young street racer, and it's main character used an AE86 as his chosen vehicle. Despite the anime being adapted into movies, series, and a live-action stint, they all feature the AE86. The Clermont classic Toyota AE86 also won two British Touring Car Championship races in 1986 and 1987. The peppy Toyota hatchback raced past rival racing vehicles like the BMW M6, Volvo 240 Turbo, and Mazda 929. The infamous edition of this classic, the Black Limited, is by far the most valuable and most sought after trim level. Today, Toyota is revitalizing this drifting classic with a new limited edition Toyota 86! The New Black Limited Toyota 86 To commemorate the famous drift king Clermont Toyota AE86, a new special edition Toyota 86 is coming to Japan. The Black Limited trim level 86 will pay homage to the Corolla Levin will feature: An exclusive black paint color 17-inch bronze wheels Ventilated Brembo brakes A trunk lid spoiler And SACHS shock absorbers for improved comfort and stability. This model will also feature "Black Limited" interior badging on the passenger side dashboard as well as subtle bronze accents throughout. This trim level will be limited to only 86 vehicles with half and half split between manual and automatic transmissions. This will be limited to the Japanese market so we wish you luck if you wish to get your hands on it. If you're looking to shop for a new Toyota 86, swing by Toyota of Clermont! We have this classic Toyota and more on our lot right now. Visit us today at 16851 State Road 50 or shop our inventory online anytime!

Oftentimes, we at Toyota of Clermont love to mention that large amount of headlines that Toyota accrues each week. We're proud of the fact that our favorite auto make is so active in the automotive world and is always introducing something new for drivers everywhere. However, the newsworthy momentum isn't a permanent stay with anything, even Toyota (sad face). While this week may be slow for Toyota news, that doesn't mean we don't have anything new to report to our avid readers! Follow along with us at Toyota of Clermont as we report the latest in Toyota news, plus a bonus story for fans of a popular vehicles based movie franchise! New Supra Models are on the way! At the Daytona 500 this past weekend, Toyota revealed some exciting news regarding their modern revival of the beloved Clermont Toyota Supra! In 2021, expect to see a new version of the Supra, the 2.0, that features a lighter body and a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder twin-scroll turbo engine. The Supra 3.0 will also be re-engineered with some power upgrades like an enhanced chassis and the inclusion of a twin-scroll turbo. These new models will be coming soon! North America and the GR Yaris Ever since the reveal of the Clermont GR Yaris, we've been clamoring to see it on this side of the globe! Unfortunately, it's not likely we'll see one here (unless one of our readers would like to have one imported and bring it to Toyota of Clermont). But, there's hope after all because we might be getting our own version of a hot hatch here! Toyota's executive VP, Bob Carter, disclosed that Toyota has an answer for the GR Yaris meant for the N American market. Our best guess is a conversion of the Clermont Toyota Corolla Hatchback that features the engine and drivetrain of the GR Yaris. Fingers crossed on this one! Bad News: An MR2 Revival 'Not a Priority' It's no secret that we at Toyota of Clermont love a good revival. Which is why when we heard the Toyota news rumor that the famous MR2 was rumored to be getting the revival treatment like the Supra, we were over the moon! But, it looks like those rumors will not come to fruition. In a sad turn of events for the MR2, Matt Harrison, Toyota's Europe Executive VP of sales, disclosed that the MR2 revival is not a priority. While we won't see a modernized MR2 on our roads anytime soon, we at least have a new generation of Toyota 86 to look forward to along with a third mystery sports car to complete the trio consisting so far of the Supra and 86. Bonus Story: Brian O'Conner's Mk IV Supra If you haven't seen the first Fast and Furious films, what are you doing? Just kidding. But, seriously. Most people, whether or not they've seen the movies, recognize the Mk IV Toyota Supra as the most iconic car from them. Arguably, Paul Walker's character, Brian O'Conner, is responsible for popularizing this fabled Toyota Supra. Something you probably didn't know about the particular Supra that Walker drove in the films is that it belonged to Craig Leiberman, the technical editor of The Fast and the Furious. Leiberman had a wide variety and tastes in cars and purchased a white factory 1994 Targa top Mk IV. After modifying the vehicle, even painting it in a Mazda paint job called "Competition Yellow," it caught the eye of Universal Studios and was put into the film!   Thank you for staying up to date on the latest in Toyota news! Tune in next week for the latest and visit Toyota of Clermont today at 16851 State Road 50.

The Toyota TJ Cruiser is Getting a May Release At Toyota of Clermont, we're fans of all Toyota models and the TJ Cruiser is a unique offering we want to see at our dealership. Unfortunately, there's no word of whether or not it'll make its way to the North America market (sad face).

The interior is very versatile with completely foldable passenger and back seats, optional third row, and even scratch and dent resistant body panels. Toyota will release the TJ Cruiser in May of this year. New Special Editions from the Chicago Auto Show Everyone knows that Toyota loves to give it their all when it comes to auto shows.

If you're like us and you're always on the hunt for all things Toyota, then you know that there's never a slow news period for our favorite auto make. There's always something going on in the wide world of Toyota and it's not always having to do with the incredible vehicles available on our lot here at Toyota of Clermont. It can be a bit daunting trying to keep track of every piece of Toyota news out there, but you're in luck! Toyota of Clermont is here with an easy guide on all the latest in Toyota news so you can stay caught up! The Latest Toyota Headlines Accelerator Suppression Function Toyota's are arguably some of the safest vehicles on the road today through their use of revolutionary safety tech like Toyota Safety Sense. In addition to its already advanced suite of safety features, Toyota is developing a new feature, accelerator suppression function. This feature uses a variety of data to determine if the driver pressed the accelerator instead of the brake pedal by mistake and then ignores the input. This is in response to a growing amount of accidents among elderly Japanese drivers. Did You See the Highlander During the Super Bowl? What do you get when you pair Cobie Smulders and the 2020 Toyota Highlander? One heroic dynamic duo. During Toyota's 2020 Super Bowl advertisement, Smulders acts as a heroic figure who drives the Clermont Toyota Highlander through various heroic movie scenarios where someone gets left behind. She rescues the various characters by using the large amount of room and capability in the new Highlander. Toyota + Panasonic = EV Batteries The future of the automotive industry is electric power and Toyota is getting its head in the EV game. In a partnership with Panasonic (and a strange turn of Toyota news events), Toyota is hoping to develop a line of automotive batteries for use in hybrid and electric vehicles. **Maybe** The GR Yaris Will Come to N America? Since the reveal of the Clermont Toyota GR Yaris, we've been head over heels along with many others. This impressive 268 horsepower pocket rocket is currently exclusive to European and Japanese roads (sad face), but a tweet from Toyota might suggest otherwise! Toyota retweeted a post from Jalopnik that contained the Yaris and captioned it, "Does the North American market need another hot hatch? Let us know what you think!" We can dream, right? Toyota to Develop Flying Cars Remember Back to the Future? The images in the iconic cultural classic movie might not be so farfetch'd.
