We here at Capitol Toyota are altogether head-over-heels for the recently refreshed 2017 Highlander, our esteemed Japanese automaker's full-size SUV. We truly believe it's one of the best in the biz.

Yet, what makes it so?

Hear all about it from the vehicular gurus over at MotorWeek; their review of the Highlander is as follows:

A 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is standard on the base LE trim. Good for a healthy 185 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, the engine couples with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.

Optional on the LE and standard on all other…

Are you on the hunt for a midsize sedan for you and yours? Well, if so, you'll be happy to know that we here at Capitol Toyota feel we've a great one in the 2017 Camry!

Want a closer look?

We thought you might. Join Autotrader critic Amanda Salas in the clip below to get just that:

On most models, the Camry receives a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine as standard. Teaming with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, the base four-banger produces a healthy 178 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque.

Those seeking something a bit spunkier…

We know that the Toyota Corolla has always delivered cash-value and dependability to Salem, OR drives like you! But, we also know that's not enough to satisfy a new generation of drivers.

That's why the 2017 Corolla has been re-designed to present stylish good looks, sporty performance and a tech-focused cabin!

Let's be honest here. We know that a minivan isn't going to be the car of your dreams. But, if you're going to drive one, then it might as well be the new 2017 Toyota Sienna!

The 2017 Sienna has been designed specifically with your family's safety, comfort and convenience in mind. Of course, the Sienna is the lone minivan to claim stylish and sporty is two of its appealing attributes. That's why we think that Sienna is the top pick in the minivan class!

“The endlessly roomy Sienna stands above its competitors for two reasons: It’s the only one with available all-wheel drive, and the especially user-friendly controls help you stay focused on the road." -Parenting Magazine

Yesterday, Toyota announced via a press release that the all-new 2016 Sienna minivan recently earned a spot on Parents magazine's' and Edmunds.com's list of Best Family Cars of 2016. The two publications collaborated to rank vehicles based on several factors, including safety, ride quality, spaciousness, efficiency, intuitive controls, reliability...

Take it from your chums here at Capitol Toyota: we know a good thing when we see one. And the 2016 Toyota 4Runner, our midsize SUV, is no doubt a very good thing, indeed.

How has this utility vehicle garnered such unmitigated praise? Autotrader reviewer, Jabari Jones, is here with an explanation:

Motivated by a 4.0-liter V6, the 4Runner is rated at a very respectable 270 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed automatic is the only transmission offered. And though rear-wheel drive is standard on most models, the available four-wheel system is well worth your consideration ...

Is the Toyota RAV4 king of the compact crossover class? Well, as we at Capitol Toyota aren't trying to overstate our case, we will say this:

It's most certainly in the conversation.

And here to highlight its most salient qualities is Autotrader pundit, Jabari Jones. Take a moment to hear him out right now:

There's a trio of trim levels available for the RAV4. In the interest of brevity, we'd like to tell you a bit about the base LE model.

You wouldn't think of using the word cool to describe a minivan, but there's no doubt that the 2015 Toyota Sienna has earned such a description.

That's likely why the 2015 Sienna is known as the "Swagger Wagon".

Of course, there's nothing cooler than safety when it comes to selecting the perfect minivan for your family. And, in the case, the 2015 Sienna is the top choice in its class.

How…

You have to be a great salesman in order to be a great college football coach. To recruit the best players to your team, you'll need to show why your school is the top choice. Fortunately for Coach T, the new 2014 Toyota Highlander pretty much sells itself. Of course, Coach T's input doesn't hurt, either.

As Coach T explains at the dinner table, the Highlander makes an excellent family car thanks…
