41: The Iconic 2000GT: A Supercar Fit for a Superspy
We’re back in the time machine for this week’s episode of Toyota Untold, visiting Japan in the late 1960s where we jump into the driver’s seat, or passenger seat (famously), of Toyota’s first supercar, the massively influential 2000GT. Timeless ’60s […]
40: Tundra Series: Fireside Chat with Jeff Buchenroth & Kevin Kavanagh (Part 1)
Toyota Untold is celebrating the highly anticipated release of the next generation 2022 Tundra with a special three-part series, starting with a wholesome fireside chat with U.S. Air Force Veteran, DIY Tundra overlander, and lifelong Toyota driver, Jeff Buchenroth. Jeff outfitted his 2016 Tundra to tour the country’s National Parks and shares his experiences with us today...many of which share themes of the kindness and kindred spirit that he’s found on the road, from Glacier to Yellowstone and many stops in between.
39: HQ Confidential: New Product Showcase
It seems like everything has changed in the last 18 months. Live events and promotions, specifically, are an area that will likely never be the same. This summer, Toyota leaned into this shift with a brand-new, all-inclusive event space hosted at Toyota USA headquarters in Plano, Texas, that previewed upcoming news for select members of the automotive media landscape. The result was a one-of-a-kind, multi-day brand presentation – one that very well could redefine the model moving forward.
38: The ‘79 Radstock Starlet: A Restoration Story
Grab some popcorn, Josh Brooks has a story to tell. As a boy, a vehicle in his neighborhood caught his eye — a stunning ‘79 Toyota Starlet. The experiences shared by Josh, the car, and its original owner in the decades following were as uncommon as they were endearing. This unlikely restoration tale, based in the small town of Radstock, England, will warm your heart and make you long for the nostalgic smell of a carburetor engine. We’ll let Josh explain.
37: Fast & Famous: Cinema’s Most Recognizable Supra
Craig Lieberman, original owner of Paul Walker’s scene-stealing Gladiator Supra from “The Fast and the Furious” and Technical Advisor on the first and second films in the franchise, sheds light on what it was like to lend his expert knowledge and eye-popping vehicles to such a high-profile production. Buckle up, this one’s fast.
36: The Psychology of Driving
The driver-vehicle relationship is changing quickly. Toyota research scientists, John Lenneman, PhD., and Josh Domeyer, PhD., join the show to talk us through the deliberate, and surprisingly cooperative, scientific processes that go into this progress.
35: The State of the Sedan: Relic or Revival?
Ask someone to picture a car, and they’ll probably imagine a sedan. Until recently, they were the most popular car on the market. Are sedans going extinct or is there more to it than that? We’re joined by Sam Goot (from Toyota’s Vehicle Marketing and Communications department) and Paul Daverio (of Toyota’s Production Planning and Strategy division) to find answers.
34: Sienna: Driving the Swagger Wagon Into 2021
The 2021 Sienna is here to redefine how we think about minivans. But what inspired its unique design-concept? We’re delving into the development of the new model with one of its chief designers, Ben Jimenez, who not only walks us through some of the latest features, but explains how they managed to evolve its legacy, creating something quietly confident and perfect for the here and now.
33: Toyota In the Wild
