Toyota celebrated the start of the summer beach season by announcing its continued support of the San Diego Lifeguards and their Water Safety Days program, emphasizing safe practices in the water and on the beach. The partnership includes a donation of 34 brand-new Toyota trucks and SUVs to the city for lifeguard rescue and operations.
Clean diesel vehicles made up half of the 10 highest scoring green cars in the Automobile Association of America's (AAA) Green Car Guide. The remainder included three electric vehicles and two hybrids.
The recall affects 2009-2010 model-year Corolla, 2009-2010 Matrix, 2008-2010 Highlander, 2009-2010 Tacoma, 2006-2008 RAV4 and 2006-2010 Yaris vehicles.

The 2013-MY RAV4 is a brand-new car with brand-new dimensions compared to earlier generations. The exterior, for example, is a radical departure from its predecessors’ boxy, utilitarian designs.
Fuel economy for the new vehicle is 24 city, 31 highway mpg. The fourth generation of Toyota's SUV goes on sale in January.
When it comes to fuel economy, the RAV4 front-wheel-drive models have EPA-estimated mpg figures of 24 city, 31 highway, whereas the all-wheel-drive models get 22 city, 29 highway mpg.
LOS ANGELES – Toyota brought its all-new, fourth-generation 2013-MY RAV4 to the LA Auto Show, where it debuted the vehicle at a press conference on Wednesday morning. The RAV4 comes in three trim levels, the LE, XLE, and Limited models and comes with a four-cylinder 2.5L engine.
From remote charging options to interior comfort to futuristic interactive displays, the RAV4 EV combines the practical features of a compact SUV with aerodynamic styling and an electric powertrain for the longest EPA-estimated driving range rating of any non-luxury EV, according to Toyota.
The all-electric SUV has an expected driving range rating of approximately 100 miles and charging time of approximately six hours on a 240V/40A charger.
