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.

Toyota announces two recalls affecting 1M Corolla, Matrix and Lexus IS models

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

The recall bug strikes Toyota again. The automaker has issued a voluntary recall of three models that, in total, represent more than one million units. Around 752,000 2003-2004 Toyota Corolla and Matrix models are being recalled for airbag concerns, while a windshield wiper issue is causing the recall for close to 270,000 Lexus IS sedans from the 2006-2012 model years.
Completely unrelated to the small airbag-related recall issued earlier in the week, the Corolla and Matrix recall is caused by a faulty airbag control module that could potentially short circuit, which could lead to the front airbags or seat belt pretensioners deploying. The Lexus recall is due to a wiper arm nut that wasn't tightened properly, which can cause the wipers to not work when trying to clear heavy buildup such as snow.
Scroll down for a press release that includes more information, as well as details about how owners can contact the manufacturer directly.

2014 Toyota 4Runner Limited

Thu, 08 May 2014

What would you say if we told you that outside of Jeep and Land Rover, the best brand for those who want to go off road is Toyota? Sounds remarkable, eh? But the truth is, Toyota's history of providing vehicles for the rougher bits of our blue marble dates back to 1950, barely a decade after Willys built the first Jeeps and only a few years after Land Rover made its big debut with the iconic Series I.
In fact, Toyota's start in off-roaders was with a small contract for providing the US Army with vehicles, during the Korean War. From that, the BJ was spawned. This Jeep-like vehicle evolved into the 20 Series and then into the iconic 40 Series Land Cruiser in the 1960s.
So yes, Toyota knows its way around the trails. While the Land Cruiser, deservedly, gets all the attention thanks to its impressive longevity, we're partial to the 4Runner, which is a far more affordable entry that serves as Toyota's challenger to the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Scion's would-be savior C-HR spied before its Toyota rebadging

Wed, Feb 3 2016

Scion is dead, but one of its future products, the C-HR concept, is still in development for launch as a Toyota. Toyota does a thorough job of hiding the C-HR's rakish shape on these test cars, but we can spot the concept's design cues. For example, the pointed nose and narrow headlights are present, and the giant box on the roof can't hide the downward arch for the coupe-like rear. The back doors on these examples look larger than before, which suggests a switch to a traditional five-door body rather than the hidden rear openings on the concept. The change would offer easier access to the backseat and make the C-HR a better competitor in the segment against vehicles like the Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-3, and Jeep Renegade. The C-HR debuted as a boldly styled three-door crossover at the 2014 Paris Motor Show. Toyota later restyled the CUV with a more angular shape and extra doors. We most recently saw the compact crossover with Scion branding at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show. Rumors suggest the production model's debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March, and it could arrive at dealers in the latter half of 2016. The powertrain lineup likely consists of a four-cylinder engine with a CVT and possibly a hybrid version, too. You'll also get to see the C-HR on the track because Toyota will race the crossover in the 2016 Nurburgring 24 Hours. Related Video:
