What’s new in Toyota news for December?

Thanksgiving is over, which means December is upon us. Toyota of Clermont has the latest news for all things Toyota – check out highlights for this week, including Toyota Tundra pricing, a new GR Corolla teaser, reliability ratings from Consumer Reports, and more. We’ve got the details you need!

New 2022 Toyota GR Corolla teased on Instagram 

We’re all for the rumor mill (at least when it’s something good). And Toyota USA did its best to keep that rumor mill going this weekend when they posted a secret teaser for the *supposed* upcoming 2022 Toyota GR Corolla. See, people have been speculating that a new Corolla hot hatch is headed to the US (these are the same people that were livid when the GR Yaris didn’t make it stateside). Toyota USA posted a pic of the Toyota Corolla Hatchback inside and put some I-Spy details in there that people were soon reading into. Here are the hints we gleaned:

#1: The clock on the gauge cluster reads G:16, which refers to the G16E-GTS turbocharged engine that’s in the GR Yaris (currently available in Europe, much to our chagrin).

#2: The road on the navigation is GR Four Road, which refers to the all-wheel-drive system found in the GR Yaris, along with the Torsen limited-slip differential in the front and rear AND the electronically-controlled center differential.

#3: The climate control feature rears 268, which is the amount of horsepower that the aforementioned turbocharged Yaris engine puts out.

#4: And if you look in the very far corner, you can see a camouflaged GR Corolla on the road.

And here’s the image so you can see for yourself:

It’s coming – we’re calling it.

Toyota Tundra pricing finally announced 

The new 2022 Toyota Tundra is coming soon – like, in a few weeks – and pricing has finally been announced for this much-anticipated truck. The starting MSRP for the base SR model is $44,990, and the truck will be available in 23 different configurations.

Toyota Tundra to whip Ford F-150 in resale value 

Everyone knows that the new 2022 Toyota Tundra is going to be amazing. It’s been completely redesigned inside and out – even under the hood is all-new. We know it’s going to absolutely blow the competition out of the water, but we’re not the only ones that think so. So far, J.D. Power is predicting that it will far surpass the Ford F-150 (one of its main competitors) in terms of resale value, and CarsDirect is predicting that its residual value in a lease will also be the best. In layman’s terms? You’re getting your money’s worth and making a solid investment if you take home this Clermont Toyota truck.

Toyotas top list of 2021’s most reliable cars 

Consumer Reports just put out their annual list of the most reliable cars, and Toyotas dominated it for 2021. The Toyota Highlander, Toyota Prius, and Toyota Prius Prime took spots 8, 4, and 3, respectively. We’re not surprised… we’re just surprised the ENTIRE list wasn’t composed of Toyotas.
