Toyota's latest innovation has nothing to do with automobiles, but it can definitely change the way you get around. The automaker recently announced that they are starting public testing on their Segway-like Winglet in Japan.
The Winglet is a two-wheeled vehicle that works similar to the popular Segway and is said to travel up to six miles between charges.

Car Care Tip of the Week: Keep the Caps On
You step out into driveway ready to start your morning commute only to discover a flat tire. How did that happen overnight? If the tire valve is missing its cap, the culprit might be a leaky valve. Those little caps keep out dirt and moisture that can cause leaks, so be sure to keep caps on all your tire valves. Another tip: When you replace tires, remind the tire shop that you expect new valves with the tires.

Car Care Tip of the Week: Use Your Headrest!
Before you hit the road, sit up straight, raise your head as high as
you can, and press it into the headrest. Hold it there for five seconds,
then relax and repeat five times. This will improve your posture and
put muscles like your multifidus to work to keep your spine erect. This,
in turn, will reduce the strain on your neck.

2015 Toyota hydrogen fuel cell car will have 300-mile range, Tokyo debut
The details on the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle that Toyota will be offering in 2015 remain woefully scarce, but as we get closer to some sort of reveal at this year's Tokyo Motor Show in November, a few details are emerging. For one, that we will see the car at the Tokyo show.
That's the word from Bloomberg, anyway, which goes on to say that Toyota could introduce the fuel cell sedan to the US in 2014 as a 2015 model, "for a price comparable to a mid-size BMW or Tesla Model S." That narrows down the previously hinted-at price of between $50,000 and $100,000 a bit. Last month, Toyota's Chris Hostetter, Toyota USA's group vice president of strategic planning, told reporters the car will cost in the neighborhood of $50,000, "depending on how big your neighborhood is" and that it will have a range of 300 miles. That's the kind of math that led Tesla CEO Elon Musk to say fuel cells were really "fool cells," last month (see Bloomberg for more).
Toyota revealed the FCV-R fuel cell vehicle concept (pictured) at Tokyo in 2011. This week, it is leading a "Future of Mobility Conversation" at the 2013 Aspen Ideas Festival and is once again talking about hydrogen fuel cell vehicles with Toyota's Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle – Advanced (FCHV-adv) in tow.

Check out this 'Excellent' review we have earned on Google+ Local!
"I went in to Toyota Center at the end of June
unsure if I was going to commit to a new car at the time. I dealt with
Brent S. who was great and took the time to show me different packages
and listening to what I was looking for. He worked hard to keep me in my
budget and got me what I wanted for my trade.
I ended up getting a Tacoma that very evening, but it had to be
delivered from another city. Initially the wrong color was delivered but
Brent worked hard to get the right one in before the end of the week
and kept me in the loop the entire time.
The customer service has been great thus far and I'm so glad I joined
the Toyota family." - Customer
