Toyota Focusing on American Successes at 2013 Chicago Auto Show
Toyota is heading to the 2013 Chicago Auto Show with a strong presence, boasting a 45,000-square-foot booth that will make way for approximately 50 vehicles.
Among those will be their all-new RAV4 and Avalon, but taking center stage will be the Corolla Furia Concept, which debuted earlier this year at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. Joining that will be another popular concept vehicle, the Fun-Vii which was engineered to connect wirelessly with the infrastructure and surrounding roads.

Highlighting some of its American successes, the Japanese automaker will also be toting along a NASCAR Toyota Sprint Cup car, a Toyota-branded pace car used at the Chicagoland Speedway, the special edition Kyle Busch Camry that debuted at last year’s SEMA Show, and a replica of the stock Toyota Tundra CrewMax that helped transport the retired Endeavour space shuttle.

That Toyota ABAT small hybrid pickup appeared at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show and we still haven't seen this available to buy. It's been even longer since the Scion XP small pickup concept. It is time. The Tacoma has grown to be larger than full sized picks used to be.
