More than twenty years after a battered diesel pickup refused to die on British television, Toyota staged a careful recreation of one of its most memorable moments. This time the star was the brand’s first all-electric Hilux, and the chosen ordeal was a 760-kilogram caravan released from thirty feet onto its cab.
Families already know the Toyota Sienna as a practical hauler. Now the company wants them to think of it as a mobile freezer for dessert. In a partnership with Cincinnati’s Graeter’s Ice Cream, Toyota is selling a limited run of Salted Caramel Chip Wheels, ice cream sandwiches made specifically to fit inside the Sienna Platinum’s FridgeBox.
For anyone who spent the mid-90s sideways in SEGA Rally Championship, the sight of a white Celica in Castrol colors still lands with force. Real GT-Fours from that era are scarce and expensive. Yet one of the factory WRC Edition cars, finished in the exact livery that defined the game and the World Rally Championship, is sitting on eBay in the UK for under £24,000.
Japanese magazines have started circulating fresh reports that Toyota is seriously considering a Gazoo Racing version of the current Prius. The talk centers on a possible reveal at the Tokyo Auto Salon in mid-January 2027, and the timing feels deliberate. Sales of the fifth-generation car have softened noticeably in key markets, including a sharp drop in the United States, raising questions about how much longer this generation will continue in its present form. A hotter Prius wearing GR or GR Sport badges would give the model a memorable final chapter if those questions turn into an actual phase-out.

London digital artist Al Yasid, who goes by al.yasid online and treats his work like a full design studio, decided the Toyota GR86 needed more bite. He started with a simple equation. Take the GR86, add the legendary Porsche 935, and the numbers land on 1,021. That bit of playful arithmetic produced a widebody CGI concept he calls the GRRR 1021.
