Though all of this year's 2013 Toyota models are rather impressive, R & H Toyota Scion, conveniently located at 9801 Reistertown Road Owings Mills, MD 21117, thought we'd share a bit of information about some of our favorites. Here are some of the top 2013 Toyota models to watch:

Each year, Consumer Reports creates a list of the Best and Worst New-Car values, and there have always been rather traditional and popular subcompacts atop that list. This year, however, those gasoline-powered models had to switch gears and make room for the Toyota Prius, which became the first hybrid-powered vehicle to top the annual list. The magazine even reports that the cost to operate the Prius (about 49 cents per mile) is about half that of a conventional vehicle.

Have you seen a trend on the roads in Owings Mills, MD lately? You may have noticed an elevated number of Toyota Prius vehicles cruising the streets.

So much, in fact, that the new 2012 Prius v outsold the Chevy Volt in its first ten weeks on the market.  The Prius v premiered in late October 2011 and managed to rack up sales numbers of 8,399 delivered units within six weeks, while the Volt only managed numbers of 7,671 units in the same time span.

The Toyota Prius family is growing with models like the 2012 Toyota Prius v and 2012 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid on the way. However, another, lesser known model is on its way as well, and it's set to debut in December at the Tokyo Motor Show. We are, of course, talking about the compact hatchback version of the ever-popular Toyota Hybrid, the 2013 Toyota Prius C.

Unlike its competitors, Toyota Camry's price tag has remained relatively unchanged, even with most prices on everything experiencing inflation. Here is the real kicker; Toyota has successfully lowered the price on the Camry by about two percent, year over year.

At this month's Frankfurt Motor Show, Toyota showcased their new Prius Plug-In Hybrid. Thanks to the plug-in component the new Toyota Prius variant offers about 11.2 miles more in range compared to its conventional Prius counterpart.

Even more exciting, the 2012 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid requires only two-and-a-half  to three hours to charge, using a standard outlet -half that, if using a 240V circuit. To put this into perspective, some EV brands can…
