The 2022 model year is a big one for Toyota. A completely redesigned Tundra, significant updates to the Tacoma, and new trims across the lineup are getting car enthusiasts excited for what’s around the corner. Some of the new offerings are already hitting dealerships while others will come later next year. But one thing is for sure: It looks to be a promising era for the automaker as the industry continues to evolve. If you already have your eyes set on a particular Toyota model, this might be the ideal time to take the leap. Toyotathon is here, which means massive savings and incentives! Below, Mount Airy Toyota will discuss the new and recent models in Toyota’s lineup, as well as some of the deals being offered in the coming weeks. New Cars Let’s start with the special editions and upgrades we can expect to see in Toyota’s newest sedans and coups: GR 86 The Toyota GR 86 played a critical role in rekindling the automaker’s reputation for sports cars. And now, this model provides even more style, responsiveness, and agility than it did before. The Toyota Gazoo Racing Team got their hands on the new GR 86 and enhanced the interior, gave it more power, and improved the handling and exterior aerodynamics. The second-generation sports coup also has a longer wheelbase and a bigger engine than previous models. It is powered by a 2.4-liter flat-four engine that produces 228 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque at 3,700 rpm. Supra A91-CF Edition Another critical piece of Toyota’s sports car lineage, the GR Supra is better than ever, and 2022 brings an all-new edition: the A91 CF. This special edition Supra is the most exclusive Mark V Supra yet, as there will only be 600 vehicles produced. If we were to sum up the 2022 GR Supra A91-CF Edition, it would come down to style, performance, and technology. The model showcases bold carbon fiber accents to go with a duckbill spoiler. This vehicle is not going to go unnoticed, and we can expect those 600 vehicles to sell in no time! Prius Nightshade Edition The Toyota Prius is single-handedly responsible for turning the concept of a hybrid car into a mass-produced reality. And for 2022, Toyota is making a statement with the Nightshade Special Edition. This model features a lot of black on the exterior, including on the wheels, trim, and badges. The Prius nameplate has already become synonymous with versatility, efficacy, and practicality. The Nightshade Edition adds smart, bold accents that make the car look more confident than ever. Consumers can get this new Prius in Midnight Black Metallic, Silver Metallic, or Super White. All exterior finishes come with black door handles, mirror caps, headlight accents, and a body-color shark fin antenna, and a rear deck spoiler. Four-wheel-drive versions sport black 17-inch alloy wheels while all-wheel-drive models ride on 15-inch wheels. Other Cars Toyota has also made some upgrades to some of its more conventional sedans. The 2022 Toyota Mirai, the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, has received a new powertrain and rear-wheel-drive platform, which boosts driving range to 402 miles. The model is also longer, wider, and lower than the previous generation. The 2022 Camry will carry over its refresh from 2021, and the Corolla will remain versatile with its sedan, hatchback, Apex Edition, and hybrid versions returning. New Crossovers and SUVs Among other changes, 2022 sees the release of an all-new Toyota crossover and significant strides towards electrification. Corolla Cross The Corolla nameplate has been the essence of value, reliability, fuel efficiency, and safety for more than 50 years. Now, Toyota is expanding the Corolla lineup even further by adding the all-new Corolla Cross. Technically speaking, the Corolla Cross is separate from the Corolla and is a lineup of its own. Recently making its debut, the compact crossover is bold, smart, and practical. And it also happens to be pleasing to the eye! Drivers can opt for AWD or FWD, and the SUV rides on the high-strength TNGA-C platform. It runs on a 2.0-liter Dynamic Force Engine that pushes 169 hp. Along with quality performance, the 2022 Corolla Cross provides a lot of passenger and cargo space to go with a comfortable ride. Highlander Bronze Edition The stunning new Highlander Hybrid Bronze Edition is perhaps one of Toyota’s most sophisticated-looking models to date. It comes in either the Bronze Edition-exclusive Cement finish or the Wind Chill Pearl finish, the latter of which is an all-new exterior color across the Highlander lineup. The Highlander Bronze Edition comes with 18-inch bronze wheels, bronze-colored exterior accents, illuminated bronze door seals, and bronze stitching throughout the cabin. One of the most distinctive features, however, is the Softex-trimmed upholstery with bronze stitching, which is as inspired by mid-century modern design as anything you will see in a vehicle. 4Runner TRD Sport The Toyota 4Runner has developed a 40-year reputation as an SUV that can do pretty much anything on smooth or rough terrain. The model year 2022 sees a new TRD Sport trim that does not compromise on performance or style. The 4Runner already comes in TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro grades, both of which are designed for optimized performance on the roads less traveled. The TRD Sport brings new flair, style, and daily-commuter upgrades that set it apart from other models in the lineup. bZ4X Concept This year, Toyota introduced the bZ4X concept to the North American market. The automaker has long been a leader in the EV industry, and this concept model provides consumers with evidence that the company is not slowing down on its vision for electrification. Toyota has made no secret of its plans for a global lineup of battery-electric vehicles that will be sold with the “Toyota bZ” brand. The Toyota bZ4X SUV Concept uses the automaker’s new e-TNGA BEV-dedicated platform. Though it was developed alongside Subaru, this concept promises the epic quality, reliability, and durability that Toyota fans have come to expect, as well as impressive AWD capabilities. New Trucks The lineup additions and upgrades don’t stop with Toyota’s cars and SUVs. Here are some of the exciting developments for 2022 on the pickup front: Tundra The 2022 model year marks the first time since 2007 that the Toyota Tundra gets a redesign. And when we say redesign, we mean inside and out. The new Tundra will ride on the same body-on-platform as the Tacoma, Sequoia, and 4Runner. At a glance, the 2022 Tundra is bigger, blockier, and wider than previous versions, and it comes with three running lights in the grille. In place of the V8 engine that has powered recent Tundra models, new versions use two twin-turbo V6 engines. More specifically, the 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 includes a motor generator and a 10-speed automatic transmission. This engine comes standard on the TRD Pro and produces 437 hp and 583 lb-ft of torque. Instead of the leaf springs of previous models, the new Tundra features a double-wishbone front suspension and a multi-link rear with coil springs. Air suspension and adaptive dampers are optional, as is a 14.0-inch infotainment touchscreen that is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. A 2022 Tundra offers a maximum towing capacity of 12,000 lbs. Furthermore, the fact that this model will share a platform with its Tacoma, Sequoia, and 4Runner siblings means that we can expect those models to be redesigned by 2023. Tacoma TRD Pro The Tacoma TRD Pro gets several upgrades for 2022. It comes with a lift kit that raises the front suspension by 1.5 inches and the rear by 0.5 inches, upgraded control arms, 2.5-inch Fox internal bypass shocks, and 16-inch black TRD wheels with Goodyear Territory all-terrain tires. The TRD Pro comes with a standard 3.5-liter V6 that yields 278 horses and 265 lb-ft of torque; the engine can be paired with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. Tacoma Trail Edition The new Tacoma Trail Edition shares many similarities with the SR5 grade and adds lockable bed storage, a 120-volt bed outlet, and rubberized floor liners. The Trail Edition also offers colored accents throughout the exterior and interior and comes standard with four-wheel drive. The front suspension is 1.1 inches higher and 0.5 inches higher in the rear than the SR5 grade. Moreover, it features 16-inch bronze wheels, a unique grille with bronze lettering, skid plates, and a rear locking differential. T eammate Advanced Drive Backgrounder As a new function of Toyota’s Teammate advanced driver assistance technology, the Advanced Drive Backgrounder partners with drivers to improve safety and convenience on the highway. This feature enables automatic steering when activated, as well as automatic acceleration and braking (assuming you are actively supervising!). Additionally, Advanced Drive can help drivers change lanes, merge and pass other vehicles, and maintain a preset difference between vehicles.

The season for saving is upon us! Rather than present special sales throughout the year like many other automakers, Toyota runs one major campaign at the end of each year—Toyotathon. And, boy, is it a big one! When it comes down to it, no other campaigns can compare to the deals and incentives you will receive from Toyota during the Holiday season. If your heart is set on putting that bow on your Camry, RAV4, Tacoma, or other Toyota model, then this is the best time of year to do it. Let’s talk more about Toyotathon, the new and recent models Mount Airy Toyota has on the lot, and more! What Is Toyotathon? When it comes to Toyota events, it doesn’t get more popular than Toyotathon. Since its first run in 1977, this event has remained the single biggest sale in the auto industry. Rather than the 24-hour events of the early days, however, Toyotathon now stretches from November through the end of the year. So, what makes Toyotathon so special? For one, there are top-notch finance and leasing rates offered during the campaign, and there is a wide inventory for buyers to choose from. And essentially all Toyota models are included in Toyotathon specials, instead of it only being a few models that dealers have had a hard time selling. What Are the Benefits? That was the skinny on why people love Toyotathon, but let’s get into the details of why it is such a massive event every year! Inventory Selection First of all, dealerships like Mount Airy Toyota have a huge inventory of Toyota models eligible for deals and incentives during Toyotathon. This includes all-new as well as recent models. The idea is for dealers to clear out the current model year’s inventory in order to open space for the next year’s models. However, sometimes the next year’s models are included in the sales event too. Therefore, you know you are getting an incredible deal on the exact vehicle you have been dreaming about! Genuine Incentives There are some serious incentives during Toyotathon, with each model determining how much you will save. Popular deals that customers have come to expect include 0% APR, 60 days of no payments, free maintenance programs, and low financing rates. There are also cashback opportunities on several models. Good Trade-Ins If you have ever traded in a vehicle at a dealership (or tried to), you know how difficult it can be to negotiate the price you are looking for. Mount Airy Toyota loves to work with our customers on trade-ins throughout the year, but during Toyotathon it’s even easier to get a great value for your vehicle. All you have to do is email or call our dealership to schedule an evaluation. Then, you simply come to the dealership and allow one of our expert managers to evaluate your vehicle. Shortly after, we will email you with your evaluation results, price offer, and financing options. Lease or Buy? Toyotathon presents incredible deals for both leasing and buying vehicles. So, how do you know which opportunity will work best for you? It comes down to monthly and overall costs, as well as the flexibility you are looking for in your investment. The Upfront Costs Leasing a vehicle means lower monthly payments. This is because they are usually determined around a car’s depreciation within the timeframe you drive it rather than the car’s purchase price. In terms of balancing your budget, the lower payments could help you reach your personal and family financial goals, but remember that your payments will not result in ownership. Also, consider that you might have to get both comprehensive and collision coverage when leasing a vehicle. And obtaining gap insurance is a good idea too. Most states require drivers to have liability insurance at a minimum, so just prepare for extra insurance costs if you choose to take on a lease. Some other leasing fees to consider include a security deposit, disposition fee, acquisition fee, and early termination fee. It’s essential to consider the overall costs when determining whether to lease or purchase a vehicle. For example, you will need to put a down payment toward your vehicle whether you lease it or finance it. This is typically 10% to 20% of the vehicle’s total cost. However, if your credit score is below average, you might have to pay toward the higher side. If you do not have a great credit score, you can usually pay less money down by choosing a used car or a model with fewer luxury features. Repairs and Maintenance The older your car gets, the more money you will have to invest in keeping it in good mechanical and aesthetic condition. Most leases last for three years and are covered with a warranty for the duration of the lease. But depending on your particular contract, you still might be responsible for certain repairs and maintenance tasks. All in all, if you tend to attract bumps and scratches to your vehicles, you might be well served to go with a lease with comprehensive repair and maintenance coverage. If you choose to buy a car, the good thing is that you can budget for regular maintenance from the beginning, and once your vehicle is paid off, you can use the cash that was designated for your monthly payment for maintenance and repair expenses. Depreciation Depreciation is another critical factor when determining whether to lease or buy a vehicle. In short, your car’s value will reduce quicker the more miles you drive. That said, if you plan on driving more than the average driver, you could end up paying big on your lease. Most leases enforce mileage limits (usually about 12,000 miles a year), and you could be subjected to a penalty of around 15 cents per mile if you go over the limit. Flexibility If you are wondering whether leasing or purchasing a car provides you with more flexibility, the answer is: it depends. When leasing a vehicle, you can drive a new model every few years, meaning you always have a new car with up-to-date features. But before you get excited about not being trapped by owning the same vehicle for more than a decade, consider that leases are not always as flexible as they would seem. Say, for instance, that your life circumstances or needs change, or that you simply grow tired of your leased vehicle. Breaking your lease early can result in overwhelming fees and penalties. In some cases, you may have to pay all of the remaining lease payments in addition to the fees and penalties. If you own your car, you can get rid of it by selling it or trading it in. Of course, if you are upside down on your loan, this may not be the ideal option. But you can still have the freedom to sell or trade your vehicle and move on to new things. Other Discounts While it doesn’t get any better than Toyotathon for scoring an incredible deal on your dream model, Mount Airy Toyota offers additional specials to service members and college graduates. Military Rebate To say “Thank You,” Southeast Toyota Finance provides a rebate for eligible active or inactive duty, retired, and honorably discharged military members with a $500 rebate on any lease or financing on a new Toyota model. The Military Rebate Program also extends to household relatives and can be used in conjunction with other discounts, such as those you will find during Toyotathon. All you have to present is verifiable proof of your or your loved one’s military status when you come into our dealership to lease or purchase a vehicle. It’s also worth noting that if you or a household family member has been called to active duty, you may qualify for other protections and benefits. College Graduate Rebate Mount Airy Toyota also loves to congratulate college graduates with a $500 rebate on any lease or purchase of a new Toyota model. In conjunction with SETF, this College Graduate Rebate may also reward you with benefits such as low or no down payment, deferred monthly payments for 90 days, no lease security deposit, low financing interest rates, and more. If you have recently graduated from an accredited four-year college or university or will graduate within the next six months, or you have received a nursing degree from an accredited two-year college in the last two years, you may be eligible for the rebate. You can also qualify if you are or have recently been enrolled in an accredited graduate degree program. As with the military rebate program, college grads can use their $500 rebate alongside any other discounts they receive. New and Recent Models Hopefully, you have an idea of what Toyotathon is and whether or not leasing or buying is the right move for you! Now, let’s touch on some of the new and recent Toyota models that we will have on the lot during the biggest savings event of the year! Camry If you are looking for a reliable and attractive sedan, look no further than the Toyota Camry. It looks sharp, and it will hold its resale value as much as any other vehicle in the world. It also comes with a spacious cabin and cutting-edge technology, making it ideal for families. Corolla Along with being one of the best-selling vehicles for decades, the new Corolla models are better than ever. Drivers get industry-leading advanced safety features, easy-to-use controls, exceptional fuel economy, and comfortable ride quality and cabin. Plus, its modern exterior design is something to behold! Corolla Cross As one of Toyota’s newest additions to the lineup, the Corolla Cross is essentially what its name suggests—a Corolla turned into a crossover SUV. One can assume that it will carry the unmatched resale value of other Toyota models, and if you are looking for a compact SUV that looks the part, gives you great fuel economy, and serves as a top-notch daily commuter, the Corolla Cross could be the vehicle for you. Tacoma The Toyota Tacoma needs no introduction. It has long been a favorite among mid-size pickup consumers and it has garnered a spectacular following among off-road enthusiasts. The new Tacoma models are as rugged and refined as ever, making it the perfect truck for anyone who wants to use it for everyday activities while maintaining a rough-and-tumble edge. Tundra The 2022 model year sees the Toyota Tundra receiving a complete design and mechanical overhaul. The full-size pickup truck segment is one of the most competitive in the industry, but the new Tundra has been created to give Ford, Ram, and GM a run for their money. This truck has everything you need. Highlander Just like so many other Toyota models, the Highlander has come to be trusted by crossover fans for many years. This mid-size three-row SUV is ideal for families looking for adventure or a comfortable daily commute. It is incredibly safe, reliable, and practical. And it’s one of the best-looking SUVs on the market. 4Runner What can you say about the Toyota 4Runner? Over the years, this model has become one of the most trusted and loved mid-size SUVs in the world. It particularly attracts off-road enthusiasts who are looking for ruggedness without sacrificing technology. It has great standard safety tech, tons of cargo space, and many different trim levels to choose from. RAV4 Similar to the Highlander and 4Runner, the Toyota RAV4 has built a bulletproof reputation for itself. It might just be the most attractive, practical, comfortable, and fuel-efficient compact SUV on the market. And it also happens to come with abundant passenger and cargo space, and impressive safety and convenience tech. Venza Toyota has recently revived the Venza nameplate. This time around, the two-row mid-size crossover SUV is exclusively a hybrid. It doesn’t get more comfortable when it comes to a daily commuter. Though it only has two rows, passengers have plenty of room and you can carry a lot of cargo with the Venza. Unless you have a large family, this SUV could be a perfect match. Conclusion Can you believe it’s already that time of year? Toyotathon is the biggest auto sales campaign in the world, and we will be running it at Mount Airy Toyota from November through the end of the year! Consider the information above as you determine whether you should lease or purchase your new vehicle, and give us a call or come by our dealership to see what new and recent Toyota models you have to choose from!

If you have not heard already, the Toyota Supra is back after two decades of absence in North America. Its arrival in mid-2019 has caused an uproar among major Supra fans and Toyota enthusiasts. Here at Mount Airy Toyota, we are so excited to tell you all about the 2020 Supra, what it means for long-time fans of the car, and how a new generation will be ready to fall in love this year with the Supra. Witness the return of a legendary sports car this summer The Toyota Supra is back for 2020. In terms of hype, it is similar to witnessing the end of Avengers or the final season of Game of Thrones; there are definitely cult followings and there are major fans out there who have awaited its return. After 20 years, this beloved sports car is back. Revival does not even begin to cover it The revival of this 1980s and early 1990s classic, two decades after it was discontinued, was unveiled at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show. Every Supra shares the same core fundamentals with a smooth inline six up front, rear-wheel drive, and a modern chassis. The 2020 Supra will feature the classic long-hood, low-riding, two-door design, and short-deck proportion, as well. But, in line with Toyota’s mission to deliver the purest expression of performance, the 2020 Supra will redefine sports cars just as it has time and time again. Take a step back in time to appreciate the present The 1993 Supra Turbo was praised for its acceleration, skid pad performance, and antilock brakes that set records at a 70 mph stopping distance. The 3.0-liter engine did not rank well with American consumers, however, and with the $39,900 price tag, Toyota only sold 2,901 cars. In 1996, Toyota was required to re-engineer the Supra to include the OBD II systems, inflating the model’s base cost to $38,600. This made the ’93 Supra Turbo model soar to $50,400 in 1996. As a result, Toyota only sold 852 Supras in ’96, and at that time, had not reached the point of selling 10,000 Supras in the United States. By 1998, while Toyota sales were beginning to recover, the Supra just wasn’t selling as expected. Buyers simply were not willing to pay what the Supra costed, despite its incredible performance and advanced powertrain. This led to the development of racing enthusiasts who became cult followers of the Supra, as they understood that the Supra Turbo’s 2JZ-GTE had enormous amounts of power and boost. A true cinematic vehicle For the younger generations who are not long-time fans of the Supra, they just might get all the hype if they have watched one of the biggest film franchises of the past ten years, where the car was featured and gained a new reputation among the millennial audience. The timeline definitely did not stop in the year ’98 for the Toyota Supra. In the year 2000, the National Import Racing Associate director, Craig Lieberman, had modified a Supra Turbo to 600 horsepower and was showing it off at an imported car show. It was at this point that he was approached by a man who asked him to consult on a film about racing. This film was called Redline, and it featured a character named Officer Brian O'Connor, and an all-too-familiar plotline that we all recognize now about street racing and big-rig heists. The film we’re talking about here had a name change, from Redline to The Fast and the Furious. Before the script hit filming, the producers had to change a main character’s vehicle from a Nissan 240SX to, yes, you guessed it, the Supra. This was because the producers needed to pull a character off of a truck and through a car’s sunroof in the movie’s climactic scene, thus requiring a car with a Targa top and the credibility as a power-driven performance car. As the highest grossing film of 2001, and a classic series reaching millions and millions of fans, The Fast and the Furious was a landmark film for car culture and the racing scene across America. It was also because of the film that the Supra went from being unable to sell in ten years what the Corvette sold in one year, to a nine-second drag car capable of holding its line with major racing names. The launch of the 2020 Toyota Supra The Supra is finally back after 20 years, and the newest model is only being offered as an automatic and sporting a BMW engine. The top-end model has an inline-six twin-turbo engine producing 335hp, similar to numbers of the Supra that debuted in 1993. Will it deliver on the hype though? Let’s dive into it. Zero to (almost) 100, real fast If you are interested in power, then you will fall in love with the Toyota Supra. In its advertisements, the Supra reported 335 horsepower and 365-lb of torque. Needless to say, this car can really move. Then, Car and Driver gave it a run and revealed that it can hit 60 mph in only 3.8 seconds. Now that is fast. This powerhouse is being co-developed with BMW and will share its architecture with the upcoming Z4, meaning the 3.0-liter turbocharged engine is shared with the Z4. It will boast a 3-liter, 6-cylinder engine with 335 horsepower, 365-lb-ft. of torque, and an 8-speed automatic transmission. This means going from 0-60 miles an hour in an estimated 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 155 with a curb weight of 3397 pounds. The engine is as far back and as low as possible, which optimizes the center of gravity for a 50:50 front/rear weight distribution—making your drive, no matter the speed, as smooth as possible. Toyota’s approach to the design was to create the best driver’s car, full stop. Drivers in the Supra can control the throttle with millimeter precision. The Supra is extremely well positioned in the market with its manageable and impressive performance. Toyota never sells on just one feature Toyota understands that one of the main selling points of the original supra was the incredible engine and powertrain, but they also know that the rest of the car has to measure up to consumer expectations. That is why Toyota invested so much time into engineering the rest of the car just as carefully as the engine itself. This is not to mention, too, that Toyota has definitely learned from its longstanding history and fan base with the Supra. If the car performed so well, followed by years of low sales, then temporarily forgotten, then Toyota will only build a successor that will be remembered and revered. So let us fully focus on what the Mk.5 has to offer. Styling The first thing you will notice about the 2020 Supra is that it is truly a work of art. The science behind the design is just as impressive and is what really makes the car a masterpiece. The wide grille is designed to channel cool air directly to the turbocharged engine, which in turn, helps optimize performance. The “double-bubble” roof adds space inside the vehicle, while also reducing aerodynamic drive outside. Intakes and vents are everywhere. And, as with any expectation for a sports car, the rear spoiler reduces body life and keeps the Supra planted at high speeds. The wheelbase is 97.2 inches and the length is 172.5. Unlike previous Supras, the 2020 only seats two, with more than sufficient space for someone over 6ft. The cargo area, albeit narrow, can more than handle your weekend getaway luggage. The 2020 Supra has already received great reception on the look and feel of the vehicle, as it remained true to its highly regarded lineage. Control Toyota provided a rigid chassis, adaptive suspension, and Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires to ensure that the Supra drives as good as it looks. Long turns will have you feeling what the car can do, plus you can steer with the extremely responsive throttle. Slide into Sport mode, turn off traction control, and you can really enjoy the Supra’s suspension tuning, steering feel, and body rigidity. With the tightness in the center of the vehicle, the car turns in quickly and provides a comforting sense of confidence at high speeds. Even with high winds and broken pavement, the rigid chassis delivers a sensational ride quality. Safety The Supra is equipped with its active differential and Brembo front brakes, ensuring that the driver has ultimate control over the vehicle. This new model will, of course, come decked out with LED headlights, a 6.5” infotainment screen, forward collision warning, automatic rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a sports mode. Trim levels The Supra will be available in three trim levels: 3.0, 3.0 Premium, and Launch Edition. The standard 3.0 trims include a 6.5-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth connectivity, adaptive suspension, forward collision warning, launch control, and shift paddles. The 3.0 Premium trim upgrades the infotainment screen to an 8.8-inch touchscreen, navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay, a 12-speaker sound system, wireless charging, a color head-up display, and heated, leather-upholstered seats. The GR Supra Launch Edition will only be available to a lucky few. Why? Because the GR Supra Launch Edition is limited to only 1500 units. The Launch edition will include 19-inch, unique matte-black wheels, and a red leather interior, red mirror caps, and an individually numbered interior badge with Akio Toyoda’s signature. The Supra Launch edition is available in Renaissance Red 2.0, Nocturnal or Absolute Zero. Fun fact: The very first globally produced all-new 2020 GR Supra was auctioned off for $2.1 million dollars this year. This all happened at the Barrett-Jackson Auction, where proceeds benefitted the American Heart Association and the Bob Woodruff Foundation, which aids injured veterans and their families. The buyer’s identity hasn’t been released yet, but we do know that the first Supra was flat gray with red mirror caps, black wheels, and had red upholstery. The winner’s car was signed by Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda on the engine bay, and received a racing suit, driving gloves, shoes, and the helmet Akio wore when he personally tested the Supra during its development. Price The base price for this vehicle is $45,000. The Launch edition has a starting MSRP of $55,250. The 3.0 Premium has a starting MSRP of $53,990. The 3.0 has a starting MSRP of $49,990. Additional Specs At A Glance 365lb.–ft. of torque 3397 pounds, total 155 mph top speed 24 city mpg 31 highway mpg The Supra and Mount Airy Toyota The 2020 Supra has had car fanatics awaiting its return for many years, and 2019 has unveiled the iconic sports car once and for all. With the incoming influx of driving impressions and personal reviews, it will be exciting to see how this light, agile, fun, and overall reasonable sports car will deliver to consumers. Mount Airy Toyota is excited to recommend the Supra to any eager sports car fan, and with the starting price at less than $50,000, you’re definitely getting the bang for your buck!

Adam Lee Marion Memorial Golf Tournament On Thursday, April 25 th, Mount Airy Toyota is participating in the 11 th Annual Pfc. Adam Lee Marion Memorial Golf Tournament. This golf tournament has been held eleven years in a row in honor of Private First Class Adam Lee Marion. Private First Class Adam Lee Marion was killed in Iraq on April 28, 2008 while serving in the military.  Adam was 26 years old when a rocket attack outside of Sadr City, Iraq claimed his life. He was deployed as part of a North Carolina National Guard unit tasked with performing route-clearance missions. Family friends of the Marion’s, John Lawson and Ralph Holt organized the golf benefit in Adam Marion’s names and had the idea to put the proceeds towards supporting the Children’s Center. The original mission was to raise about $10,000 a year for the center; this amount has gone above and beyond their expectations, growing each year. 4 th Annual Destiny Lives On Golf Tournament On Friday, May 10th, you can find us out at the Cramer Mountain Club participating in the 4 th Annual Destiny Lives On Golf Tournament.

“When a man carries a gun all the time, the respect he thinks he's getting might really be fear. So I don't carry a gun because I don't want the people of Mayberry to fear a gun. I'd rather they respect me.” — Andy Taylor ________ Sometimes we long for small towns and more simple times. Back when we knew our neighbors and all the town’s comings and goings, bake sales and talent shows were big events and we could count on meeting a friend at the grocery or hardware store. Nostalgia conjures up a place not unlike Mayberry — that fictional town where Mount Airy-native Andy Griffith was born and raised and where, for nearly 30 years now, a festival celebrates bygone days. Mayberry Days, held Sept. 24-30 in historic Mount Airy, is a family-oriented festival featuring a parade, live music, comedy shows, a slew of contests including pie-eating, pork chop sandwich-eating, and a checkers tournament, educational lectures, Andy Griffith movies, and special guests from the Mayberry show. It’s about as wholesome as you can get. As an expression of gratitude to the local community, Mount Airy Toyota is an annual festival sponsor. Be sure to look for Mount Airy Toyota at the festival — you may even see one of our cars in the parade. The parade is a festival highlight with appearances from esteemed luminaries including the Pickle Queen, Potato Queen, and Pork Princess, a marching band, vintage squad cars, and a cow wearing shoes. Want to get in on some of all the action? Consider the apple peeling competition, which harkens back to an episode of The Andy Griffith Show in which Andy peels an apple in one long, curly strip. If you’re hungry, enter the pork chop sandwich-eating competition and try to beat the record of eight. Know-it-alls will want to be part of the trivia contests, while those with a nine-iron on their shoulder can play in the Mayberry Days Golf Tournament (aka The Emmett). Take in a show at the Historic Earle Theater, an old-time music hall and stage that’s been entertaining folks since 1938. Throughout the year, the theater features exhibits, an audio-guided tour, lessons, and workshops. During Mayberry Days, you can catch comedy from The Mouth of Mayberry, John Floyd, on stage, reminisce with Memories of Elvis, and join in a discussion about “ Murder in Coweeta County,” a 1983 film about a true crime in which Griffith takes a turn playing the villain to Johnny Cash’s sheriff. On Sept. 28 the theater welcomes the best in bluegrass and Americana for the Beyond the Blue Ridge series, and on Dec. 29 there will be a dance. For a full schedule of Mayberry Days activities as well as tickets and competition registration, visit surryarts.org/mayberrydays. While you’re in town, come on by the dealership and visit us too. We’ve got great specials on new and used cars plus military and college discounts. You can find us at 508 North Andy Griffith Parkway, online at mountairytoyota.com, or just give us a call at 336.786.2118. We’ll be happy to take you out for a test drive or, if you find yourself in a bind, ring up our service department and we’ll make any needed repairs. You might even go ahead and watch “ Barney’s First Car” to get you in the automobile shopping mood.

Celebrate your Independence Day in style with a new Toyota RAV4. This 4 th of July, Mount Airy Toyota is having a big sale on one of our favorite SUVs and we want to find the one that fits you. Why the RAV4? Well, it is one of America’s bestselling SUVs. And, this year it is bigger, better, and more fun than ever. Whether you are heading to the mountains, the beach, or staying in town this 4 th of July, make the new 2017 Toyota RAV4 your method of transportation. When RAV4s began showing up on the roads in the early 1990s, they were compact and made with little pizazz. But they were made well and you could, and still can, find a Toyota RAV4 clucking along with over 300,000 miles under its belt. Breaks, tires, maybe a timing belt had to be changed, but that’s to be expected. The guts were still intact and operating as they should. Something you just don’t see in many vehicles made today. The 2017 Toyota RAV4 keeps its respected stamina and adds a tougher looking exterior, more comfortable interior, and showcases some impressive performance. Toyota’s RAV4 has only gotten better with time, and this year we find one with a bit more pluck and intuitive design than its predecessors. Performance The RAV4 does something that just about no other compact SUV maker would dare attempt: RAV4 comes with a hybrid version. That’s right, there are two big choices to make before you go through all the features and add-ons. Do you want a hybrid or gas? And the answer to this mostly depends on the level of performance you need. But which one is more powerful? You will be surprised. Let’s begin with the non-hybrid. The 2017 RAV4 comes with a 2.5-liter, inline-4 engine that has up to 176-horsepower. Oh, and it gets great gas mileage. It offers an all-wheel-drive system, which has electric controls that tell the rear wheels when to kick in, so that they are not needlessly running every time you go for a spin. On the road, the RAV4 is as smooth as ever and fun to drive. And with the inline-4, you get a little extra boost. The RAV4 hugs sharp turns and scoots in and around town like a pro. Now for the hybrid. Believe it or not, this version actually has more power than the base, gas model. This electric-gas powered machine operates with a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine. And it has up to 194-horsepower! The engine is paired with a Hybrid Synergy Drive System, which helps the vehicle to know when and when not to use gas. The RAV4 hybrid also comes with all-wheel-drive, and gives the same smooth, sweet ride as its gas-only counterpart. Safety In terms of safety, Toyota has made many improvements in the 2017 Mount Airy Toyota RAV4. And not that they were bad before. RAV4s have always scored high in this department, but the newest version seems to get it perfect. The 2017 model has what Toyota calls, “Toyota Safety Systems.” This combination of safety mechanisms makes the RAV4’s safety ratings soar with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking (just in case your foot can’t make it to the brake pedal in time), lane-departure alert, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, and pedestrian pre-collision. Not bad, huh? And there are plenty more. You don’t have to take our word for it. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave the 2017 RAV4 its highest safety scores, plus Top Safety Pick for this year. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also gave the compact SUV high ratings, further proving the RAV4 to be a stalwart leader in a continually growing family of crossover vehicles. The 2017 RAV4’s line of safety features include a total of eight airbags, a rearview camera, a surround-view camera, plus the impressive safety systems previously mentioned. And what better peace of mind to have this 4 th of July than knowing you are driving around with some of the most high-tech safety features made. Comfort RAV4s, even the old ones, have never lacked in the area of comfort. And this year it just gets better. At the new Platinum trim level you can now opt for all the usual upgrades, plus a heated steering wheel. You can also get Toyota’s SofTex upholstery, which has the look and feel of leather but comes at a fraction of the cost. But no matter which trim level of RAV4 you choose, you will be comfortable. The driver’s seat sits perfectly upright, but still manages to cradle and keep you comfy. You have a perfect view of the road, everything is at arms length, yet somehow you feel as though you are somewhat reclining. It’s nice. Really nice. All entryways and exits are easily accessible, and it offers plenty of cargo space with a section below the floor, and a liftgate. Whereas the RAV4 of old could truly be considered a small, crossover vehicle, the 2017 model leans more towards the end of medium/large SUV. And this shift greatly helps in way of space and comfort. With a smooth, quiet ride, soft interior lighting, and soft-touch materials throughout, you can’t beat the new RAV4. Features Toyota has turned the RAV4 into one of those vehicles that can come with a seemingly unlimited number of features to add or alter. This is a good thing, as you can end up driving away with something truly tailored to you. But it does take some time to figure out exactly what you want. That’s why it’s a great idea to come down to Mount Airy Toyota where we can help you through the process of picking out your perfect RAV4. Here are just a few of the features offered with the 2017 RAV4: Interior LED Lighting. Toyota’s Infotainment System. Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control. Paddle Shifters. A Unique Front Bumper and Grille Design. Power Everything. JBL Speakers. Entune App Connectivity. And there are so many more. You can use hands-free calling and texting. Can even use the OpenTable app to make dinner reservations while on the way to the restaurant! The possibilities become endless the more car companies are able to connect our vehicles with our smartphones. And Toyota seems to be one of the carmakers leading the way. Fuel Economy One of the greatest things about driving a crossover SUV is that they know how to conserve fuel without losing power in performance. The 2017 RAV4 gets around 23 miles per gallon in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. Not bad at all. Especially with the power this thing has. What this equates to is a family-fun sport utility vehicle that requires less trips to the gas station. And, if you go for the RAV4 hybrid, there is even better fuel economy. Toyota seems to think of it all, performance, safety, comfort, and fuel economy. Those are the big ones for any vehicle, and the RAV4 gets top marks on every one. So why wait any longer? Start deciding on your RAV4 today so you can take it out with friends and family this 4 th of July in Mount Airy, NC.

It’s vacation season! That’s right, Memorial Day weekend is fast approaching and will mark the start of summer, the season known for vacations! Ready for that beach trip?

Trucks are the vehicles to drive this summer and this Memorial Day weekend Mount Airy Toyota is having unbelievable sales to ring in the season. Why We Celebrate Memorial Day Memorial Day has been a long celebrated federal holiday to commemorate those who have fought, and currently fight, for our country. Mount Airy Toyota supports those who serve, and those who have served. We would like to show our gratitude and appreciation this Memorial Day weekend by proudly offering outstanding military discounts! Memorial Day was previously known as Decoration Day. The holiday began following the Civil War and then later began a federal holiday in 1971. History.com says, “ By the late 1860s, Americans in various towns and cities had begun holding springtime tributes to these countless fallen soldiers, decorating their graves with flowers and reciting prayers.” From here, Memorial Day slowly evolved into the holiday it is today, originating in New York in 1966. Best Things to Do This Memorial Day Memorial Day is celebrated in many different ways. As a holiday to celebrate the beginning of summer and remember our troops, people love to get outdoors. American’s often: Visit Cemeteries and Memorials Run and Workout in A Military Style Have Cookouts with Friends and Family Watch Fireworks to Celebrate Our Country No matter how you choose to celebrate the holiday, make the most of it in a new truck! Trucks are the number one summer vehicles. They are bold and adventurous and great for exploring the outdoors. Summer vacations are better in a vehicle where packing is easy and hauling boats and equipment is fun. The 2017 Toyota Tacoma Memorial Day Sales are here and the 2017 Toyota Tacoma is on special. Mount Airy Toyota is promoting the 2017 Toyota Tacoma with a leasing value of $318 a month. Exterior The exterior of the Toyota Tacoma is bold and amplifies the truck’s design. The outer design shows style and grabs attention. The Tacoma is a unique truck that stands apart from others with its: Shape- The Tacoma has a bold and chiseled character that is shaped differently than most trucks. The design is aggressive and shows muscular fenders and intensifies the vehicle’s strength. Front Grille- Every vehicle is partly defined by its look, and the front grille can make or break it. With the aggressive and bold grille on the Tacoma, viewers are sure to be drawn to the vehicle. LED DRL Projector-Beam Headlights- See and be seen with these outstanding lights.

Capability and Performance Off-Roading, vacation-getter vehicles are all about capability and performance. They’re great for rocky roads and sandy beaches, or for towing boats or hauling four-wheelers. The Toyota Tacoma can handle it all with a handful of key features. Dan Edmunds rates the off-road for the Tacoma with five stars, saying, “All 4x4 versions of the Tacoma do very well, but the TRD Off-Road has the suspension, tires and abundant clearance to go places other pickups, including other volume-selling midsize truck models, cannot. The locking differential, terrain select and crawl control systems are real advantages.” When driving across difficult terrain and off-roading, the vehicle automatically adjusts the throttle and brakes on five low-speed settings to help the vehicle move with ease! Multi-Terrain Select allows you to switch between five different modes. These modes help regulate wheel spin and adjust the engine throttle and traction control. Conquer hills with confidence! Hill Start Assist Control helps minimize the vehicle rolling backward when shifting from the brake to gas. Electronically Locking Rear Differential helps you move through terrain that other vehicles can’t. Engine power is distributed evenly to both rear wheels so all wheels will move at the same speed. This helps provide grip for low-traction terrains. With Electronic Shift Transfer Case, you can easily change between high-range 4WD, low-range WD, or high-range 2WD with a quick turn of a knob. This outstanding truck is also geared with: High-Strength Steel- It’s stronger and lighter than regular steel and its toughness keeps the performance top-notch while helping keep passengers safe. The Engine- This truck has a 3.5-liter V6 direct-injection engine for excellent performance. 6-Speed AT/MT- The Toyota Tacoma uses two transmissions to provide top performance and solid fuel efficiency. Towing- The Tacoma is perfect for all your towing needs. Whether you have jet skis, four-wheelers, or trailers, this truck has you covered with the ability to tow 6,800 pounds and carry a payload of up 1440 pounds! Trailer-Sway Control- When the wind gets rough or weight shifts in your trailer, Trailer-Sway Control will keep it in position. Brakes are applied to the wheels and the engine torque is controlled to keep your trailer in line. Top Features Car lovers enjoy some of the neat technology and safety features that make the 2017 Toyota Tacoma unique. Keep yourself and passengers entertained by the ride and with key aspects. These components are great for long road trips to keep the fun rolling. Some well-ordered features include: Smart Key- Open your truck hands-free with the keyless entry smart key.

There is no better time of year to get your next Toyota vehicle than Toyotathon. The best prices on the best models are sure to make this year another great success. So come into Mount Airy Toyota today and celebrate this national holiday by checking out the spectacular deals we have to offer. What is Toyotathon, exactly? Before you can take full advantage of this end-of-year sale, you should probably know a little about it. When the Toyota company was first formed in the United States (in1957), they probably had no idea the level of success the company would have.Now, nearly sixty years later, it is easy to see how they have managed to maintain one of the highest, most respected levels of vehicle production our country has ever seen. What’s the secret to their success? Innovative thinking.Toyota is always looking towards the future, always testing new ideas. Toyotathon is a great example of this innovative way of thought. In 1977 the company wanted to come up with a new way of selling vehicles. Something unique from other car dealers. The idea was hatched that it might work to have one big flash sale at the end of the year, with smaller, longer lasting sales throughout the rest of the year. Most other dealers have limited sales throughout the year, usually leading up to an end-of-year sale. The difference in Toyotathon is that it is a more extreme version of this process. There were a lot of critics who believed a sale the size of Toyotathon could not wait until the end of year, and the Toyota sales team were making a mistake.However, in March of 1977, “a nation-wide 24-hour Toyotathon sales event set anew orders record,” according to www.toyota-global.com. And the company hasn’t turned their back on Toyotathon since. Yearly sale’s records,happy customers, and more accolades than can be counted have proven this unique method of selling cars to be true. And this year we are more excited than ever.Just wait until you see the specials we have running at Mount Airy Toyota! What kind of specials are running this year? Streaming through my news feed the other day I read this headline: “Half-Dressed Man Frantically Scrambles Out of Home After Hearing Toyotathon Deals Won’t Last Long.” My first thought was Wow, Toyota must be having some really great sales. I then realized this was the headline to an Onion article, notoriously satirical (and fake) news site. But after researching the Toyotathon deals for this year, such a headline is not so far-fetched. These specials are good enough to pull customers out of their homes (fully dressed,preferably), and it’s true, they won’t last long. HERE ARE A FEW OF THE NATIONAL INCENTIVES AND SPECIFIC VEHICLES SHOWCASED FOR TOYOTATHON THIS YEAR. INCENTIVES VEHICLES 0% APR Financing up to 60 months, plus get $1,000 bonus cash back. Toyota Mirai $ 499/month Lease absolutely any Toyota vehicle with rates as low as $169 a month. Toyota Land Cruiser $ 925/month This year you can also get up to $2,500 factory cash back on select Toyota models. Toyota Sequoia $ 515/month And you can combine different incentives, such as a military or college graduate bonus on top of all other offers. Toyota Venza $ 249/month Toyota Prius V $ 245/month Toyota Yaris $159/month And all these are just scratching the surface of what is fully being offered. To get specified deals on particular makes and models it is best to make your way over to Mount Airy Toyota where our trained professionals can get you in the Toyota of your dreams quickly and with money left in your pocket. Is it really worth the wait? IN SHORT,YES. Contrary to popular belief, Toyota does still run a variety of sales throughout the year. And they are good ones too. You get cash back, a low APR, and tons of incentives. But, nothing matches the money that can be saved during Toyotathon. Ask diehard Toyota customers and they will tell you the same. If you can manage without buying a car until Toyotathon, it is worth the wait. As a matter of fact, ask anyone over at the Mount Airy Toyota dealership and they will tell you the same: “Toyotathon is a cornerstone for the company” says Kerry Mitchell, one of Mount Airy’s premiere sales associates. “It’s a big event with the year’s best incentives, and it has been running for over 30 YEARS. Our employees love this time of year because, not only do we get to make way for next year’s models, but we also get to spend our time with customers, answering questions, finding the best deals of the year, and nothing beats seeing those smiles on their faces when they pull out of the lot in a brand-new Toyota.” Mount Airy Toyota, 508 N Andy Griffith Pkwy, Mount Airy, NC 27030 Here is a breakdown of some specific specials MOUNT AIRY TOYOTA CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ALL YEAR Service Specials 30-DAY TIRE PRICE GUARANTEE Buy select tires and if you find a better price within 30 days of the purchase, we'll refund the difference.

Mount Airy Toyota’s annual Toys for Tots drive kicks into gear on November 8th and runs into December. Mount Airy Toyota’s owner, Scott McCorkle, is asking for local North Carolinians and Virginians to donate a new, unwrapped toy for a child in need. Each year, Mount Airy Toyota and neighboring Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, also owned by the benevolent McCorkle, have a friendly competition to see which dealership can load the most toys into the bed of a pick-up truck and put bright smiles on local tots’ faces. Toys for Tots is one of America’s most prestigious donation programs, dating all the way back to the late 1940’s. Run by the Unites States Marine Corps Reserve, Toys for Tots’ goal is quite simple: “to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.” Mount Airy, you’re America’s Mayberry! You have responsibility and patriotism dripping from your pores. And right now, Mount Airy Toyota could use your kind, Southern hospitality. Drive down to 508 N Andy Griffith Parkway today to drop off a brand new stuffed animal or a brand new pack of Matchbox Cars or a brand new football or any brand new toy you believe will be cherished by a local kid in need. Each year, the staff at Mount Airy Toyota donates a large share of the toys. This year, they need your help to make this holiday season special for a local tot.
