Not only does it offer amazing

If your search for a new vehicle has led you to the midsize sedan segment, your pals at Toyota of Plano feel you'd be wise to give one of ours -- the 2016 Toyota Camry Hybrid -- your full, undivided attention.

Toyota has created a track-tuned minivan. No, it's not a tongue-in-cheek joke like the infamous "Swagger Wagon" ad campaign, which featured hip-hop singing suburban families ironically proving the Toyota Sienna could be "cool." This time, the automaker is serious.

Track-tuned Toyota Camry stock cars already perform admirably in NASCAR, so why not give the lineup's all-star minivan the same treatment? The result was the Toyota Sienna R-Tuned.

• Custom front alignment

"When tackling threats to the global environment, it is important to act early and boldly with concrete steps that will make a difference in people’s lives.

This morning, Toyota issued a press release announcing a project aimed at empowering the blind and visually impaired by increasing their mobility, and giving them greater freedom, independence, and confidence.

We expected, given Toyota's recent foray into artificial intelligence development, that the company's auto show appearances would be dominated by talk of self-driving cars.

Instead, they hit us with this whammy.

Kids have big imaginations. This is how broccoli becomes trees, a cardboard box becomes a fort and a three-wheeled trike a race car.

To go along with those enormous imaginations, kids also have artistic abilities. Ask nearly any preschooler or grade school kid and they would say that yes, of course they are artists.
