Go for a test drive at the Haunted Biz Baz! Explore Toyota’s legendary commitment to quality, durability, reliability and safety. Discover the fun-to-drive side of Toyota on a custom-designed street drive experience that puts the focus on the road ahead while it demonstrates the core features and capabilities of the Camry, Rav4, Prius c, and Prius. Every drive counts! For each test-drive taken, Toyota’s Drive for a Cause campaign will make a donation to support Salem Main Streets.
