The 2020 Toyota Supra Is Returning: Here’s What You Need to Know

Talk about a comeback: It’s been more than 20 years since there was a new Toyota Supra in dealership showrooms. Now, the car is back with a vengeance. Toyota’s design team has revived and completely redesigned its two-seater sports car, immediately creating one of the most buzzed-about new auto entries of the year.

Are you curious to know how the 2020 Toyota Supra drives? Do you think the new Supra might be just the vehicle for you? We’d love to show you one, and even let you take it out for a test drive. Contact our dealership to set up an appointment.

In the meantime, here’s a quick overview of what you can expect from the new Toyota Supra.

A Closer Look at the New Supra

Power and Performance

When you buy a sports car, you want it to really feel like a sports car. The 2020 Toyota Supra more than delivers, offering a turbocharged 6-cylinder engine that roars with power. The car sounds mighty and drives like a dream, and the handling is nimble and responsive. Anyone who’s really keen on that sports car experience will likely be well-satisfied by the Supra.

A Glimpse Inside

It should go without saying that if you’re looking to haul a bunch of people, this definitely isn’t the car for you. It’s a two-person sports car that’s made for exhilaration, not necessarily flexibility or convenience. With that said, the seats and cabins are made from premium materials that enhance the feeling of class and luxury. And there’s some decent leg room to provide driver and passenger alike with comfort, even over the course of a long trip.

Staying Safe

The big draw of this car is its sports style and robust performance, but naturally, you also want a vehicle that’s going to keep you safe. The 2020 Toyota Supra has a number of advanced safety features, including:

  • Blind spot monitoring
  • Automatic emergency braking
  • Lane departure warnings with steering assistance

As you can tell, there’s much to admire about this sports car. Contact our dealership to schedule a test drive, or reach out to see new Toyota cars for sale in Hodgkins, IL.

Toyota Supra is Coming Back

If you’ve watched the Fast and Furious movies, chances are you’ve heard of the Toyota Supra. You’ve also probably noticed that there hasn’t been a production model since 2002, but that could be changing fairly soon. We’re expecting to see the new production model of the highly-anticipated sports car some time in 2019.

We don’t have much information on the car yet, but from spy shots we can have an idea of what the car is going to look like. There appears to be an updated rear end and up front you’ll notice narrow headlights. As for powertrain information, we only know that the Supra’s chief engineer, Tetsuya Tada, has hinted that the car would receive a turbocharge inline-six-cylinder engine.

Stay tuned for more updates as we receive them, we cannot wait to see the production vehicle.

Compare Toyota Safety Sense vs Honda Sensing

Honestly, we applaud all carmakers who provide active safety technologies to help keep their customers safe and secure. Two of the pioneer safety package are Toyota Safety Sense and Honda Sensing, both containing several important features to help prevent collisions.

Toyota Safety Sense includes these features:

  • Automatic High Beams: This feature improves night vision without blinding oncoming traffic. The system works at speeds above 25 mph to recognize lights in front of your vehicle to toggle between high- and low-beams. The system maximizes high-beam usage, which increases your safety.
  • Dynamic Radar Cruise Control: This system maintains your speed until your forward space interval gets smaller – that is, the car ahead of you slows down. DRCC will react by slowing your vehicle in order to maintain your selected interval. If necessary, the system will apply the brakes to avoid a collision. The Full-Speed Range DRCC version works at all speeds up to 110 mph.
  • Lane Departure Alert: Sounds the alert when you drift out of your lane. When coupled with Steering Assist, the system will re-center the car via small steering corrections.
  • Pre-Collision System: Cameras, lasers and radar combine to alert you to obstacles in your path. If necessary, Brake Assist automatically applies brake power to help prevent or mitigate a collision.
  • Pedestrian Detection: In concert with the Pre-Collision System, this system applies the brakes when it detects a pedestrian in your path.

Honda Sensing provides most of the same features, even if the names differ slightly. There is one big difference between the two. Toyota Safety Sense is standard equipment on virtually all new Toyota models. Honda Sensing remains an extra-cost option on the vehicles that offer it.

Both systems are well worth having. Only the Toyota package lets you have it for no extra money. You can pocket the savings or use it to order a higher trim level or optional equipment on your new Toyota vehicle.

R-Tuned Toyota C-HR at SEMA

The SEMA show in Las Vegas is always full of amazing cars that we can only dream about! The Toyota booth this year is featuring a modified C-HR with a lot more power! The production Toyota C-HR became available for sale earlier this year as the perfect compact car for those looking for the qualities of a SUV in a car that can fit practically everywhere!

The production C-HR is offered with 144 horsepower, front-wheel drive, and a continuously variable transmission, which doesn’t exactly equal a speedy combination. This year for SEMA, Toyota partnered with DG Spec to produce a very quick crossover. The 2.4-liter massively turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivers 600 horsepower, enough for the C-HR to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 2.9 seconds. This revamped C-HR also includes a five-speed manual transmission to get the power down to the front wheels and in terms of suspension, it’s got triple adjustable shocks and a three-way adjustable rear sway bar.

If all of this doesn’t make sense, just know that this C-HR turned in quicker lap times at the 2.5-mile "Big Track" at Willow Springs than a Porsche 911 GT3 RS, GT-R and McLaren 650S Spyder. Now that’s impressive!

My Experience Driving the 2018 Toyota Camry

Alina Czub is the Director of Advertising for the Continental Motors Group. She has been driving the all-new 2018 Toyota Camry for a few weeks and decided to share her experience with us.

For the last seventeen years, I’ve been an SUV girl. I’m a mom of three boys and they play sports. So, room was necessary. Add to that any extras of people or “stuff,” my needs in a vehicle were definitely space and comfort. I drove a lot, 18K-22K miles per year. My boys and I have practically lived in my SUV; we’ve spent so much time between here and there. However, as my kids, three six-foot teenagers have grown, my needs have changed. They are still playing sports, but there are fewer car pools; one has his license, and the second one will be driving on his own in the next several months.

All of this has brought me to think maybe I could drive a sedan. Therein lies my 2018 Toyota Camry LE test drive from Continental Toyota. I’m not going to lie the transition from a larger SUV to a sedan has been an adjustment. However, I welcome the change. Now when I say test drive, I’m fortunate for the opportunity to drive for several weeks and really get a feel for the 2018 Camry.

With all of the miles I put on vehicles, the way a vehicle handles is very important to me. My SUV handled the roads well; it was smooth and had good pick up, and I never felt like it was a truck. Admittedly, I thoroughly enjoy driving this car. Local driving or highway driving, the Camry does not let me down in the way it grabs the road, accelerates, or maneuvers in and out of traffic. Plus, additional safety features like lane departure alert, Toyota Safety Sense pre-collision system with in-vehicle camera and radar, and of course ECO mode to save on gas mileage, all add to the comfort of my driving experience. I’ve switched to the Manual mode when I’ve been on the highway because, well, I started out driving a manual transmission, and it’s fun to go back to without the clutch to worry about.

Since I do still have my boys frequently in the car, their comfort was very important to me. What’s their legroom like? Headroom? And, of course, where are the cup holders positioned because we still end up eating in the car as we rush to our next commitment. The 2018 Camry was perfect! A total thumbs up – in both the back and front seats there is a very open feeling and plenty of room for my growing boys. I’ve rented cars in the past and always felt a little cramped and as though my views were blocked. It was almost as if the curve of the roof impeded the size of the windows, but this is not the case for the 2018 Toyota Camry. As the driver, I feel safe, secure, and can easily adjust the seat to my comfort to drive. The Camry LE comes with a Star Safety System and ten airbags. Not only do I feel safe driving a sedan, Toyota makes certain the vehicle is safe.

Of course, where do I put my coffee? Convenience, while not feeling cramped in a sedan versus an SUV, was a pleasant surprise. This Camry did not disappoint. As I sit to drive, the shifter is comfortably positioned where I can keep my elbow on the armrest and my drink is just to the right. The controls to adjust radio, temperature, and phone, are all right at my fingertips. Overall, this car is very convenient. I’m just waiting for the perfect design to answer; “where do I put my oversized purse?”

Trunk space is equally important when I am carting equipment, groceries, or anything else. Without the convenience of the cargo space and hatchback found in an SUV, I was concerned with transitioning to a sedan. My mom drives a sedan and you can only open the trunk with a remote key, which is not always convenient, but with the 2018 Camry, I get both easy access and great cargo space.

All in all, the new 2018 Toyota Camry LE has been a positive driving experience. It looks great, has sensible conveniences, performs well on the roads, and provides plenty of room for my family. Camry has been a Best Selling vehicle in America for years, and the new 2018 Toyota Camry continues to excel on the roads. Continental Toyota in Hodgkins has been selling Toyotas for more than fifty years, and is a quality choice on where to buy your perfect Toyota Camry in the Chicagoland area.

What Makes Toyota Reliable?

What Makes Toyota Reliable?

It's no surprise that Toyota vehicles have earned a reputation over decades as one the highest quality vehicle makers in the world. In fact, it's fair to say that Toyota established Japan as the nexus of advanced manufacturing techniques that emphasize quality. The destruction wrought by World War II meant the Toyota had a chance to restart with a clean sheet, and it used the opportunity to optimize quality rather than quantity. This meant, for example, using a single press for each car part – a slower process but one that results in fewer flaws.
The approach evolved into the Toyota Production System (TPS), which was and still is the guiding philosophy for creating reliable vehicles. It consists of two tenets:

  1. Jidoku: This loosely translates as "automation with a human touch." In other words, the human eye is the ultimate judge of quality. It's standard procedure in a Toyota plant to stop a manufacturing line if an engineer perceives a problem, and restart only after the cause has been resolved.
  2. Just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing: The technique is to order and make only what is needed, which saves money by eliminating waste and conserving resources.

While originally a Japanese manufacturer, Toyota now makes vehicles for local markets all around the world. That's why Toyota manufactures most of its American-market cars in America. The TPS is easily adapted to the prevailing practices employed in each country and region.

In addition, Toyota practices lifetime employment to the extent possible. This gives workers the opportunity to really master their skills, another facet of product quality. This approach also works for management and engineering. Low turnover allows Toyota to institutionalize the most efficient ways to build high-quality vehicles. And keep in mind – Toyota parts are built to exacting specifications, and we use only Toyota parts to maintain your Toyota car.
Toyota engineers often grab vehicles off the line and strip them down to check for any manufacturing problems. They also disassemble competitor models to stay on top of the latest innovations.

Dealerships like ours employ top service technicians who receive Toyota factory training and industry certification, ensuring that the quality built into a new Toyota vehicle is maintained over its entire service life. We invite you to visit our Toyota dealership today to experience the legendary reliability built into every Toyota vehicle we sell.

Plant with Purpose

This month we partnered with Plant with Purpose to plant a tree in the developing world for every vehicle and tire sold in May. Plant with Purpose educates communities and shows them that caring for the environment builds resilience, increases crop yields, and revitalizes their community for a long term future. The implementation of sustainable agriculture techniques has lead to more productive crops, and these family farms have flourished.

Savings groups are established so farmers do not depend solely on outside donations, but on the savings from their agricultural sales. These efforts to employ the farmer’s talents and be active participants in change help contribute to discovering they can grow out of poverty.

In order to help spread the word, we gave our employees desk plants so they can feed them and watch them grow, and tell our customers how their purchases are changing the world one plant at a time.

We would like to thank all of the customers that have taken part in this partnership and contributed to making this world a better place.

If you’d like to join Plant with Purpose’s mission to end deforestation and extreme poverty, you can donate here: https://www.plantwithpurpose.org/purpose-partner/

Buying vs. Leasing

Looking for a new car, but unsure about what is the best choice between buying or leasing? This decision will ultimately depend on your needs, not only financially, but also in terms of the purpose of the car. Keep reading to learn more about advantages of each, in order to help you determine what will work best for you!

Advantages of Buying:

If you’re looking to have a car that you can modify to your taste, then buying might be a better choice for you. When you purchase a vehicle, you are the owner and therefore you can modify it as you wish (within the bounds of the law). You can also drive the vehicle as much as you want, since there are no mileage restrictions. If you have longer commutes, or enjoy going on long road trips, purchasing a car may be the better option for you.

If you take proper care of your car to ensure it has a good, long-lasting life, then buying a car might be more economical in the end. If you buy a car that lasts you for several years, and you are able to drive it for thousands of miles, then you’ve really made the most out of it, and are more likely to end up spending less money in the end.

Advantages of Leasing:

If you are looking for lower monthly payments on your car, then a lease might be the way to go for you. Leasing means lower monthly payments and a lower down payment than purchasing a car. In some cases, there may not even be a down payment at all with a lease!

Since you are making lower monthly payments, leasing a vehicle allows you to drive a higher-end model for a very affordable price. Yes, this means you can get that high-level trim with all the fancy details you’ve always wanted for a great price!

We cannot emphasize the lower cost enough, but if you are the type of driver that only uses the car to go short distances, then a lease is definitely the better option. There is a restriction on the amount of miles you can put in the car, but if you generally commute short distances, then you can get a better car for a much lower price. In addition, a lease is more affordable to service due to the default factory warranty. This means paying less out of pocket for repair services than you would with a purchased car.

With a lease, the trade-in pressure is lifted because you return the vehicle at the end of the lease period (as stated in your contract) and then it’s up to you to either lease another vehicle, purchase a car, or simply go without one. There is no need to worry about trading in the vehicle, or even finding a buyer when it’s time to let go of the car.

Overall, buying or leasing a car is a personal preference. Our Sales Consultants are here to help you and they will gladly walk you through your different options and their advantages to determine what will work best for you. We also encourage you to check our Incentives page to check out our current offers and specials!

The 2017 St. Patrick’s Day Family Parade in Countryside

This past Sunday, March 5th, we had the pleasure of being a part of the 2017 St. Patrick’s Day Family Parade in Countryside. We drove a Cubs Toyota Tundra that was fully decorated for the theme, and were surrounded by vehicles from our dealer family, such as Continental Honda and Continental Mitsubishi.

We drove by multiple houses and saw lots of families and children enjoying the parade. Several dogs were being walked in front of us, and the children were very excited about seeing them and petting them. Since we were driving a Cubs vehicle, we played the ‘Go, Cubs, Go’ song, and had many people singing along. We also handed out Toyota tote bags, which came in handy considering all the candy that was being passed out.

Given that it is a St. Patrick’s Day parade, we saw a lot of people dressed up in all-green attire, as well as younger girls wearing a traditional Irish dancer costume. We also saw lots of green Blackhawks jerseys, as well as Southpaw, the White Sox’s mascot.

Overall, we had a great experience at the Parade and enjoyed the time we spent with families and other local businesses celebrating this holiday. To check out the videos of our experience, follow us on Facebook!
