Ever since it made its debut, alongside the iM hatchback, at the beginning of September, the all-new iA has been having a pretty good first few months of existence. Yesterday, yet another accolade was announced for Scion's first ever four-door sedan.

Taking into account aspects such as comfort, ride quality, performance and handling, styling, and overall value; the editorial team at Consumer Guide has chosen the iA for its "Automotive Best Buy" Award in the subcompact category.

In a press release last week, Scion revealed new details about the upcoming FR-S Series 2.0, and here at Chicago Northside Toyota Scion, we're pretty excited about the news.

Early last month, Scion released two all-new vehicles: the iA sedan, and the iM hatchback. Reception has been great, and now, they have announced that they have another vehicle in store for us. Scion, the youth division of Toyota, is staying tight lipped, but they did confirm the new vehicle will be unveiled as a concept at the Los Angeles Auto Show, which will take place November 18 - 19. The vehicle is expect to arrive at dealerships...

Final Fight, the last competition of the Formula Drift season, is set to take place this weekend, October 9 - 10, at Irwindale Speedway in Irwin, California. Last year, Fredric Aasbo, driver of a tC, finished the season in second place. This year, he leads the field, and is in a good position to achieve a 10-year goal of clinching the top prize.

FR-S driver, Ken Gushi, heads into the weekend in second place. “The momentum is definitely on our side,” he said in a recent interview. “All season the FR-S has performed at optimal levels, and I’m hoping Fredric…

Kids sell lemonade in the summer, it's what they've been doing for decades. But with limited knowledge of search engine optimization, and Yelp reviews, many of these kindergarten upstarts are doomed to fail in the modern market.

That's okay. Lemonade is just one of many products going to waste, and the Toyota Mirai can use them all.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. It is found in many things here on earth, which makes it an ideal fuel for Toyota's sustainable new fuel cell vehicle.

One reason hydrogen is such a sustainable fuel…

One of Scion's newest vehicles, the iA, is the company's first four door sedan, and at Chicago Northside Toyota Scion, we couldn't be happier to welcome the new arrival. The iA, features a sleek exterior, with sporty lines and an agile stance, and the interior contains great standard features, such as a backup camera, and push button start. Scion's first venture into the world of sedans is certainly promising, but how does it measure up to the competition?

While we were browsing through the standard social media platforms this morning, we came across the following tweet from @scion. At first glance, the tC and the Veloster may seem comparable, but a closer look reveals there's no contest.

The tC comes with hard hitting features. See how it does in the ring against the competition http://t.co/Hi2hRyVa7A pic.twitter.com/35StTSBMbO

You've probably heard this once or twice in your life: "Stick a penny in your tire tread. If you can still see Lincoln's head, you need new tires."

While this method does accurately measure tread depth, as you'll see in this video, by the time Lincoln's hair is exposed, that's a big yikes.

So visit Chicago Northside Toyota Scion before it gets to that point. Our service team will inspect your tires, and let you know if it's time for a visit to tire center.

Toyota vehicles have a reputation for being reliable and high-quality. But even with that great reputation, Toyota is constantly looking for ways to become even better. They want to make only the very best for customers like you, so they are working on a new project to make that happen. Check out the video below to hear all about it.

This summer-long road trip is basically one huge test drive that the people at Toyota…

At the top of the Toyota sedan hierarchy sits the Avalon, a full-size model that exemplifies everything that the Japanese automaker has to offer. For 2016, the Avalon will be receiving a refresh with some pretty awesome design changes that are sure to bring fans of the brand flocking.

While the exterior changes to the sedan may be subtle, they do a whole lot to enhance the look and feel of the Avalon. New LED lighting up front gives the streamlined snout an air of sophistication, while "slashed" fog lamps add to its sleekness. On the inside, a new generation…
