2012 Toyota Prius V Five with Advanced Technology Package (ATP)

If you don't own a business, aren't a technologist or don't have a geek streak then skip this ad. The car will seem over-priced unless you know you're driving a very limited edition "All Tech Package" ATP Prius. It's Toyota's version of the Google Car.

This is a $5,000 add-on that allows the car to park itself (parallel or back in), avoid collision using  active radar, increase milage significantly when you "let the computer drive", receive gps rerouting tips based on traffic and weather ahead (Sirius data feed).

The ATP charges and syncs your iPhone or Android, has voice calling, voice navigation and mobile apps for further control.
 A high tech car is nice. A high-tech, high-touch hybrid that is constantly looking out for you is amazing. I bought this Prius with the Advanced Technology Package because I use my mobile device constantly, make and receive a lot of phone calls, wanted radar anti-collission because it's proactive, radar cruise control so that I could drive 3 hours up state always moving at the rate of traffic in the fast lane but always 3 car lengths back so I avoided tickets.

I went with the harddrive based GPS because it is so fast and so sophisticated that it politely informs you of a thunderstorm or traffic accident 20 miles ahead and asks if you would like to detour around the incident. The USB plug charges your phone, the bluetooth sync tells you who's calling as well as dial by name, all the while you're sitting in a 4 door hatchback that is reporting 99 mpg as you scream along at 75.

The published specs for mileage are the ones I use to represent this cars energy performance. But I will say that as I learned to let the ATP do more of the driving for me and as I learned which transmission settings to use when, the Prius V Five ATP with lifetime Sirius radio and digital traffic and digital weather treated me right. Oh and yes, this is the car that parallel parks itselfs in spots you wouldn't try on your own.

Passengers have plenty of leg room, their own AC vents, a giant retractable fabric sun roof that essentially transforms the car into a glass topped convertible. Awesome when in Manhattan or the mountains. The rear hatchback holds a log of groceries covered by a retractable privacy cover in case what you're toting is tall. With the passenger seats folded down there's enough room that I was able to move a furniture and bankers boxes. This great deal also comes with a set of brand new tires.

The Prius V Five ATP has a lower total cost of ownership from age 2 forward than all other competitors, which was the final reason I bought it. These were supposed to be the "I told you so" years. But I just don't use it enough and a great car needs to be driven, not stored indoors at a garage.

No diesels in the running for 2016 Green Car Of The Year

Thu, Oct 15 2015

It's a new era for the Green Car Of The Year. In the past, the theme of the award was to take a broad look at alternative powertrains and pick the best among them. "Clean diesels" from the Volkswagen group were often among the finalists and won the award twice. For the 2016 edition - which will be handed out at the LA Auto Show next month - not a single diesel made the list. There's little wonder why. Green Car Journal, which names the winner with a panel of experts, had to strip two VW brand vehicles of their past wins. The 2009 VW Jetta TDI, which won in 2008, and the 2010 Audi A3 TDI, which won in 2010, have both lost their titles now that the world knows about the "defeat devices" that VW installed in many of its TDI vehicles around the world. So, what does that leave us with for 2016? Two plug ins, a hybrid, and two gas vehicles. The two electric vehicle are the Audi A3 e-tron and the Chevy Volt, while the all-new Toyota Prius (which will come with a plug-in version later) is the lone pure hybrid. Rounding out the pack are two efficient gas models: the Hyundai Sonata and the Honda Civic. This is the tenth year for the Green Car Of The Year, and it will be interesting to see if diesels can come back into the award's good graces (for the record, no diesels were among the finalists in 2013, either) in the future. For now, we'd like to know who you think should win. You can read more about the finalists in the press release below and then cast your vote in our poll. Show full PR text FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR 2016 GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR Green Car Journal to Reveal Winner of 11th Annual Award at LA Auto Show Press & Trade Days, November 19 LOS ANGELES, CA (October 15, 2015) – Green Car Journal has announced its five finalists for the magazine's prestigious 2016 Green Car of the Year® award. The 2016 models include the Audi A3 e-tron, Chevrolet Volt, Honda Civic, Hyundai Sonata, and Toyota Prius. An increasing number of vehicle models are considered for the Green Car of the Year® program each year, a reflection of the auto industry's expanding efforts in offering new vehicles with higher efficiency and improved environmental impact. Green Car Journal has been honoring the most important "green" vehicles every year at the LA Auto Show, since its inaugural award announced at the show in 2005.

Bibendum 2014: Former EU President says Toyota could lose 100,000 euros per hydrogen FCV sedan

Thu, Nov 13 2014

Pat Cox does not work for Toyota and we don't think he has any secret inside information. Still, he's the former President of the European Parliament and the current high level coordinator for TransEuropean Network, so when he says Toyota is likely going to lose between 50,000 and 100,000 euros ($66,000 and $133,000) on each of the hydrogen-powered FCV sedans it will sell next year, it's worth noting. That was just one highlight of Cox's presentation at the 2014 Michelin Challenge Bibendum in Chengdu, China today, which addressed the main problem of using more H2 in transportation: cost. The EU has a tremendous incentive to find an alternative to fossil fuels, since Europe today is 94 percent dependent on oil for its transportation sector and 84 percent of that 94 percent dependency is imported oil. The tab for that costs the EU a billion euros a day, Cox said, on top of the environmental costs. To encourage a shift away from petroleum, European Directive 2014/94 requires each member state to develop national policy frameworks for the market development of alternative fuels and their infrastructure. For the member states that choose to fulfill 2014/94 by developing a hydrogen market – and to be clear, Cox said, it's not an EU diktat that they do so, since a number of other alternatives are also allowed – the aim is to have things in place by the end of 2025. The plans don't even have to be submitted until the end of 2016. The long lead time is due to a quirk in a hydrogen economy. In hydrogen infrastructure, "the first-mover cost is not the first-mover advantage, but the firstmover disadvantage." – Pat Cox In deploying a hydrogen infrastructure, Cox said, "the first-mover cost is not the first-mover advantage, but the first-mover disadvantage, and high risk." That's why the EU and member states will financially support the early stages, but everyone agrees that "if this is to work, it will have to be ultimately and essentially a commercially viable and commercially driven infrastructure roll-out." Since 1986, European Union research programs have spent 550 million euros on hydrogen-related and fuel-cell-related research, including methods of hydrogen storage and distribution as well as improved fuel cells vehicles, Cox said. Expensive problems remain to be solved. At a conference in Berlin, Germany this past summer, Cox said, the unit cost of the refueling stations was identified as the main problem.
