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.

2014 Toyota Aygo marks the spot [w/video]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

Following the leaked pictures we showed you yesterday, we have the full battery of images and info of the all-new Toyota Aygo, in addition to our gallery of live photos from the floor of the Geneva Motor Show.
Like its cousins from Peugeot and Citroën, the Aygo foregoes a diesel engine in favor of a highly efficient gas powerplant. The 1.0-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder turns out 68 horsepower and 70 pound-feet of torque. When it hits the market, it'll be with either a five-speed manual transmission or a five-speed, X-Shift automated manual. The former will help the Aygo return 57.3 miles per gallon and hit 62 miles per hour in 14.2 seconds. Opting for the X-Shift variant will net drivers 56 mpg, with 62 arriving in a leisurely 15.5 seconds.
We'll admit, aside from the fuel efficiency, there's nothing terribly great about those numbers. Still, with its compact dimensions - it's only 136 inches long - and a curb weight of no more than 2,000 pounds, it should prove tossable in the bends.

Toyota and Mercedes begin the Super Bowl ad teases with dads and hares

Tue, Jan 20 2015

Advertising Age says pregame buzz is where Super Bowl advertisers really build momentum for their Big Game commercials, so let the teasing continue. We've seen the 30-second spot for the Lexus NX, Mercedes-Benz and Toyota are next out of the tunnel with campaigns that focus on a fable and fathers, respectively. The Mercedes tease gets former NFL wide receiver Jerry Rice lining up a talking-heads debate with eight-year-old Andrew Hunter about whether Hunter's hare could beat a tortoise in a race, but it's a disaster before it even begins. In what will be a continuing storyline, a social media component lets people side with #TeamTortoise or #TeamHare, with "a Big Race viewing party" going to a lucky winner. Mercedes also promises there'll be a hero at the end, which we imagine will something in the Three-Pointed-Star family as opposed to the Testudinae or Leporidae families. Toyota's all about the biological family, rolling out a series of tweets and Vine videos showing off ex-NFL'ers and their kids to hype the "One Bold Choice Leads to Another" campaign for the Camry. The profiled paterfamiliae will be examples of those "who have contributed to their families' lives in bold ways." A 60-second spot during the pre-game will feature Paralympic athlete Amy Purdy, then those stand-up dads will get their own 60 seconds during the second quarter. The social media tag for this one is #OneBoldChoice. You can watch Mercedes' opening salvo above, and check out a Toyota tweet with ex-quarterback Kurt Warner below.

Consumer Reports says Ram 1500 tops fuel economy fight [w/video]

Wed, Aug 27 2014

Consumer Reports takes its independent vehicle testing procedures seriously. In an era when we have to question the EPA's official ratings thanks to recent re-evaluations from Ford and Hyundai, an independent voice is important. So, when CR says something is the best, it's worth paying attention to. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel has "about the same fuel-economy numbers that we typically see in a midsized SUV." – Jake Fisher In this case, CR took a look at the fuel economy of the 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and found that it came out on top of the fullsize pickup truck pack. The Ram did so with 20 miles per gallon overall and 27 mpg on the highway. CR gave the truck a total road test score of 82. The EPA says that the EcoDiesel 1500 gets 28 mpg on the highway, 20 mpg city and 23 mpg combined. Comparing official EPA numbers, the Ram is also the best among trucks in its class. It's nice when people agree on something. As we know from first-hand, long-distance experience, you can push the 1500 EcoDiesel to 38 mpg. CR found in its own testing that the truck had, "about the same fuel-economy numbers that we typically see in a midsized SUV," said Jake Fisher, CR's director of automotive testing, in a statement. Speaking of midsized SUVs, CR also announced this week that the new Toyota Highlander Hybrid got the top spot in CR's ratings in that category. CR liked pretty much everything about the SUV, saying that the "transitions between electric power and the gas engine are seamless" and that, "the new Highlander also handles better, with a steadier ride and reduced body lean in corners." You can find more at the CR website, in the October print issue of Consumer Reports or in the video and press release below. This content is hosted by a third party.

RAM ECODIESEL 1500 TOPS CONSUMER REPORTS FULL-SIZE PICKUP TRUCK RATINGS Redesigned Toyota Highlander Hybrid Climbs to Top of Midsized SUV List Yonkers, N.Y.- The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel climbed to the top of Consumer Reports' full-size pickup truck ratings with an impressive performance in the organization's fuel economy tests. The EcoDiesel (82 point overall road test score) turned in a best-in-class fuel economy of 20 mpg overall and 27 mpg on the highway, to help it score better than the previously tested Ram 1500 V8 (81) regular gas version and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT (80).
