New Hybrid Battery that cost $3000 to install. So this Prius is good for another 120,000 to 150,000 miles or more. Be careful when you buy a used Prius with the original hybrid battery - you are likely going to have to replace that battery sooner rather later (and it will run you around $3,000 or more.)

This 2006 Toyota Prius is great condition, the mileage are mostly interstate miles (commuting to Atlanta). Mostly garaged, Harman Kardon Stereo iPhone/iPod connection to car speakers with a dashboard music control. Also separately mp3 auxiliary jack. Tires have at least 70% thread left on them. Great mileage at 45MPG.

Tired of "burning" good money on gas on your old clunker. Want to just wave at the gas station as you drive by? Why not try a hybrid vehicle and Toyota Prius is the leader of the pack on this category.

This is a 2006 Toyota Prius hybrid car. It is rated for 45 MPG. It is a four door 5 passenger vehicle. The body is in good shape, all controls work and we have added a Harman Kardon tuner/player ($299 installation cost) so you can play your iPhone 4 or prior model and ipod touch music on the car's stereo speakers. Note we are going to leave with you the iPhone 3GS 32GB (see photo) that we use to play our music on the Harman Kardon (Another $325 value).

Has a new HV hybrid battery that should be good for at least another 100,000 miles (cost: $1500 battery and $275 installation). Note - the original Prius battery that comes with any Prius is only rated for about $150,000 miles.

The tires still has about 65% thread on them so you should be good for at least 20,000 miles. The mileage on the car (163,000) are mostly highway/freeway (I-20 miles) as I used to commute to Atlanta a lot as a consultant. Again the HV hybrid battery is new as the original one on the vehicle are rated for only about 150,000 miles, so with the new HV battery, this Prius should be good for another 100,000 miles.

Additional add-ons you are getting:

1. New HV battery (should be good for another 100,000 miles ---- $3000 (cost to install)

2. Harman Kardon ipod stereo music player that uses the cars speakers (with small monitor on dash board) ---- $325

4. TOTAL ESTIMATED ADD-ONs $3325 (free to you)

Aston CEO claims Cygnet cancelled because Toyota is dropping iQ in 2014

Sun, 27 Oct 2013

While slow sales and a $50,000 price tag may have been contributing factors to the Aston Martin Cygnet being cancelled last month, Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez is pointing the finger at Toyota for the demise of this luxurious little city car. In a discussion with Autocar, Bez is quoted as saying that the ultimate reason the Cygnet was cut is because Toyota plans on dropping the iQ (on which the Cygnet is based) in 2014 - a claim denied by the Japanese automaker.
Interestingly, the article also cites another publication reporting that a Toyota importer in the Netherlands heard the same news as Bez, and it has already stopped importing the cars. If the European Toyota iQ is cancelled, that would likely spell the end of the slow-selling Scion iQ in the US, which has sold just 3,365 units through September (a drop of 51 percent year over year).
Regardless of why production of the Cygnet ended, Bez also says that a lack of support from Toyota on the project prevented it from being offered in the US or receiving a supercharged engine, which are two factors that likely would have made the car appealing to more buyers.

Toyota's Euro Aygo spied in prototype form

Thu, 22 Aug 2013

The five-door version of the next-generation Toyota Aygo, a Euro offering cloned by the Peugeot 107 and Citroën C1, has been caught out on the town wearing all black. Facelifted early last year, predictions are that the next version of the city car will be slightly lower and wider than the current car, with improved ergonomics and materials. Based on what little can be seen for now, a new intake and headlight treatment should be on the menu in front, with taillights placed higher on its backside.
A three-door version is expected, but a gasoline-hybrid model is also rumored, along with power and fuel economy improvements to the three-cylinder engine that presently puts out 67 horsepower and 69 pound-feet of torque.
We should see it next year, along with the new Citroën C1 and Peugeot 108.

Hyundai, Kia, Genesis and Subaru clean up in IIHS 2018 safety ratings

Thu, Dec 7 2017

Hyundai, its partner Kia and its Genesis division are the big winners in the latest vehicle safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, accounting for six of the 15 models that earned the Top Safety Pick+ awards for 2018. Subaru was right behind with four, Mercedes-Benz had two, and Toyota, BMW and Ford each had one. Another 47 vehicles earned the Top Safety Pick designation, where Toyota had 10 vehicle models, with Hyundai recognized for nine models. All but one of the seven vehicles in Subaru's lineup, the BRZ, qualified for one of the awards. IIHS strengthened the criteria for the Top Safety Pick+ award for 2018 to require headlights to earn a "good" rating — an "acceptable" rating was previously enough to notch the "plus" award Â— and good or acceptable passenger-side protection in the small overlap front crash, which replicates a crash involving just the front corner of a vehicle. It also required vehicles to have acceptable or good headlights for the first time to earn a Top Safety Pick award. Most of winners for both awards qualified on the basis of optional upgrades. IIHS in October began evaluating the passenger side of vehicles in its small overlap front crash test after it said it became clear that automakers were neglecting that side of the vehicle as they focused on improving driver-side protections. IIHS first began conducting driver-side small overlap crashes in 2012. It began measuring both how well low and high beams illuminated the road and the amount of glare they produce for oncoming vehicles as part of its ratings in 2016. The Top Safety Pick+ winners are listed below. The list doesn't include any minivans, pickups or minicars, which don't appear on either list of awardees. Small cars Kia Forte Kia Soul Subaru Impreza (sedan and wagon) Subaru WRX Midsize cars Subaru Legacy Subaru Outback Toyota Camry Large luxury cars BMW 5 series Genesis G80 Genesis G90 Lincoln Continental Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan Midsize SUVs Hyundai Santa Fe Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Midsize luxury SUV Mercedes-Benz GLC The full list of Top Safety Pick winners is available here.Related Video: Image Credit: IIHS BMW Genesis Hyundai Kia Lincoln Subaru Toyota Safety Crossover SUV Wagon Sedan crash test
