Possible Partial Trade. This 2012 PRIUS has been our personal vehicle since new in November, 2012. Most of the miles have been put on traveling between Florida and Illinois. The only reason we're selling this vehicle is we needed a larger vehicle to make the trip, as we're still in business and need to carry lots of miscellaneous everywhere we go. We would consider a trade for a nice 2003 - 2005 Toyota Rav 4 or, say an Impala LTZ. We'll still need to keep a vehicle in Florida year round. About the car; There was some very light hail damage we occured while at Church one day. It was repaired without having to repaint anything. The mileage will vary, depending on the outside temperature, weight load, and wind direction. If we lived in the south year round I would think the mileage would range between 42 to 50 miles per gallon, depending on the stated variables. In Illinois the mileage can range from 45 down to as low as 37 miles per gallon.The HEATED SEATS are a welcome option when we're in the north. That being said this car has never seen snow. The synthetic oil only has to be changed every 10,000 miles!! That's the manufacture's suggestion! We have driven the car 6.600 miles on this oil change, and the dip stick is STILL more than 1/2 way between full and add!! We have reservations about selling this car, as it's never given us a problem. Well, we did take it to the dealer about a noise, which turned out to be a piece of unwanted paper hitting a cooling fan. This car is as good as a used car gets. If you're looking for a brand new car then go buy a brand new car. If you're looking for a like new used car for about 2/3 the new price AND UNBELIEVABLE MILEAGE, then go for this one. There's a ton of Prius "V"s out there with over 200,000 miles. This one is barely broken in! It's still full of factory warranties!! We still get groceries, etc with the car, so the mileage may have up to, but not over a few hundred miles on it. If sold it will not be driven again and cleaned up as shown for the next proud owner. Any questions, wanting to see the car, or trade offers please contact me thru Ebay, or call Tom at 217-306-2821. The car is in St Pete Beach, Florida; 33706. Thanks for looking!

Toyota, Morgan Spurlock say hydrogen can be bullsh*t

Thu, Apr 23 2015

Toyota wants the world to know that it's not full of crap about hydrogen as the future of fuel. Months before the Mirai arrives at dealers on the West Coast, the automaker is trying to get the word out through documentary series called Fueled by Everything. In the first episode, director Morgan Spurlock (best known for Super Size Me) shows how to make the futuristic fuel cell sedan run on a load of dung. After some processing, anyway. The whole point of the series is to show viewers the myriad sources available to generate hydrogen, and Toyota starts at an attention-grabbing extreme. A pickup truck takes a bed full of cow manure and demonstrates the steps needed to make it into hydrogen for the Mirai. Of course, the new model gets lots of screen time, too. For those in the audience curious to learn more, Toyota also digs a little deeper into the generation process on the series' website. Fueled by Bullsh*t Toyota Taps Morgan Spurlock to Direct First Video in "Fueled by Everything" Series TORRANCE, Calif. (April 22, 2015) – Sometimes reality stinks. Toyota has tapped award-winning documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock to show how calling hydrogen fuel cell vehicles "bullsh*t" isn't far from the truth. "Fueled by Bullsh*t" is the first online video in a multi-part "Fueled by Everything" series aimed to educate a broad audience about the innovative ways hydrogen fuel can be made from renewable sources. Spurlock directed the 3-minute piece which features a dairy farmer and mechanical engineer as they follow cow manure from a mooing supply source to its ultimate use in powering the hydrogen fuel cell electric Toyota Mirai. "This project gave us the opportunity to dive into a world that most people don't understand but has the potential to change our world," said Spurlock. "Witnessing manure, something most of us view as being pretty disposable, being transformed into hydrogen fuel to power a car was pretty remarkable. I think this short film is pretty compelling evidence of what could be possible in the years ahead." Beyond high quality dung, hydrogen can be manufactured from other renewable energy sources like solar, wind and biogas from landfills. These production methods can result in a domestic and locally sourced fuel that powers the Mirai while emitting only water vapor from the tailpipe. The multi-series video campaign is launching through the Toyota Mirai website (www.toyota.com/mirai) and additional digital properties with paid online media support.

Toyota to sell hot-pink Crown in Japan

Sun, 11 Aug 2013

Akio Toyoda is doing a pretty decent job at the helm of the Toyota empire. This is the man, after all, that declared that Toyota would get new sports cars, and that they needed to be, not should be, rear-wheel drive. We can respect that. Toyoda is also trying to do away with his company's conservative styling and bring edgier vehicles to market.
Toyota's designers have done just that, although perhaps they went a bit too far. In November, Toyota debuted its fourteenth-generation Crown with a bling-bling fascia that makes Lexus' spindle grille look as conservative as a three-piece suit, and a retina-searing pink paintjob. See, in Japan, the Crown is to Japan's older crowd what the 2002 Buick Park Avenue is to America's senior citizens. As Automotive News reports, the idea with the pink was to draw attention to the grille, but it was originally intended as a debut item, only.
Now, Toyota is actually planning to offer the electric fuchsia Crown for sale to regular buyers. Interested parties will have from September 1st to September 30th to place an order for the big sedan. According to the AN report, Toyoda said to reporters at the debut, "My initial reaction was: 'You're kidding! Please, not pink." We wish they were kidding.

Toyota prepped to spend $1.3B on plants in Mexico and China

Tue, Apr 7 2015

Toyota is getting set to expand its manufacturing operations in a big way, with a pair of sources reporting to Reuters that the company was preparing to make a roughly $1.3-billion investment to add two new factories in China and Mexico. If Reuters sources turn out to be correct and the company's upper management decides to greenlight the two new factories, Toyota's annual output would grow by 300,000 units per year. Two-thirds of the capacity would come from the new Mexican factory, where the company may produce the next-generation Corolla, due in 2019. That facility would be in the state of Guanajuato, in the central part of the country, the sources told Reuters. The Chinese factory, meanwhile, would likely be built in Guangzhou, and may become a source of Yaris production sometime in 2018.
