 2010 Toyota Prius up for sale.  It's in good condition with about 78,000 miles.  I had it fully inspected by the Toyota Dealership in Annapolis and it was given the all clear.  I've driven it up to Vermont a couple times and I wouldn't hesitate driving it across country.  I purchased it from the original owner (a doctor) earlier this year.  I don't want to sell, but I was transferred to the West Coast. 

It has gray leather seats, bluetooth, power windows/locks, upgraded JBL stereo system, cruise.  It has the push button start with smart key.

Full Disclosure:  It has dings, a couple small dents, and scratches.  It wasn't a city car, but it was used for commuting.  There's a small hole on the driver's seat (caused by a key attached to a belt loop).  I bought OEM leather to repair it but did not get around to it.  For now, there's OEM replacement leather between the hole and the seat cushion.  It is solely an aesthetic issue, the hole will not get bigger and you don't notice it unless you look at it.

I've ranged between 50-65 MPG in mixed driving.  Over the last 20,000 miles, I've averaged about 52 MPG.  That includes the lower gas mileage from the winter blend gasoline and the cold weather.  Since the spring, it averages about 57 MPG.  Toyota engineered a marvel - it's one of the most reliable cars on the road!

For the frugal folks out there.  This Prius cost about $0.06/mile for fuel (@ $3.50/gal).  Depreciation is less than $1,000/year.  If you're a commuter, this car is an obvious choice.

Payment is via certified check or cash only.  I have the title clear in my name.  The price is actually less than what these sell for at Manheim dealer auction!  See attached screenshot.  The car will be available for purchase/pickup after September 14th.

Toyota GT86 engineers explored shooting brake and sedan variants, are they still in the cards?

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

According to the Toyota UK blog, engineers for the automaker were so excited developing the GT86 coupe that they investigated producing a whole family of models based on the rear-wheel drive sports car. And at least one engineer - product chief Tetsuya Tada - still hopes it can happen, even if not everyone at Toyota is onboard. Tada: "Actually we tried to do this secretly but the executives found us out. They said: 'What are you doing? Will you please focus on the coupe.'"
Those mooted variants included both a four-door sedan and a shooting brake. Why? Aside from the pure excellence of a lightweight, brilliantly handling hatchback, Toyota was keenly aware of the fact that it may need to spread the cost of development out across several models. Tada says that's part of the reason why it was so easy to create the convertible. The company knew from the outset that a softtop version was in the cards, and built the machine's structure to accommodate having the roof sliced off.
Tada also made mention of the already-announced collaboration between Toyota and BMW. The engineer said that the GT86 was particularly helpful because it demonstrated just how successful a product conceived and designed by two different companies can be. While he didn't say exactly what Toyota and BMW are up to, it's clear the two are looking into a number of possibilities. It's an interesting read with a lot of

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
