Toyota's best seller gets a minor refreshing for the 2000 model-year. The acclaimed midsize sedan gets new front and rear treatments on the outside, while it also receives a number of interior enhancements such as the addition of an available JBL audio system.

Either engine can be paired with a manual or an automatic transmission.

Toyota's sporty coupe is all-new for 2000. It's intended to get back to the Celica's roots as an affordable boy racer. Aggressive styling coupled with a 180-horsepower 1.8-liter four-cylinder lends validity to that claim. Base models have a 140-horsepower version of the same engine.

Toyota's car for baby boomers' kids is new to the market in 2000. It comes in four- and two-door body styles and crams the interior volume of a Corolla into a car with much smaller exterior dimensions. Power comes from an all-new 1.5-liter four-cylinder that produces 108 horsepower.

The land-crushing Land Cruiser gets a new vehicle-skid and traction-control system and additional standard equipment for 2000. It continues to be powered by a 230-horsepower 4.7-liter V-8 engine.

This mini-SUV is mostly the same as it was for 1999. The only change is a redesigned cupholder on all models. RAV4s are available in two- and four-door models, with a 2.0-liter 120-horsepower four-cylinder engine.

Toyota's minivan is unchanged for 2000 except for an updated audio system. A 194-horsepower 3.0-liter V-6 engine powers it.
