Miller Place, New York, United States
2009 Toyota Prius
Hybrid 4 door Touring Hatchback -
4-cyl, automatic, Navigation, Blue Tooth
Underneath
the 2009 Toyota Prius' hood resides the "Hybrid Synergy Drive." This
drive train consists of a 1.5-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine and two
electric motors -- one driving the front wheels, the other functioning solely
as a generator to recharge the car's battery pack. Power is routed through a
specialized continuously variable automatic transmission. The gas engine
produces 76 horsepower and 82 pound-feet of torque. With the electric motor,
net peak hp is 110, which is deceiving since the two power sources hit their
peaks at different times. Regardless, power delivery is smooth and consistent
from rest all the way to top speed. Although
the 2009 Toyota Prius would make a fine highway companion, the car really
shines when driven in the city, where its light steering, tight turning radius
and excellent visibility make it easy to park and maneuver through traffic.
Additionally, the Prius often returns its best gas mileage in freeway gridlock,
as it's able to spend more time in full-electric mode. Moreover,
the Prius stands out by offering an unusual but uniquely space-efficient body
design. It may not look big from the outside, but climb inside and you'll find
the Prius surprisingly large and utilitarian. The backseat offers plenty of
room for adults and rear-facing infant seats. The 14.4-cubic-foot hatchback
trunk is also quite large and can accommodate several roller suitcases, golf
clubs or a double stroller. Plus, the folding seatbacks provide an
uninterrupted cargo area that no sedan can match. This
Prius comes with optional Package #3 (a $2,555 value) which includes the JBL cd
changer, MP3, satellite radio and bluetooth, stability control, and backup
camera. It also has optional leather seats, which is a $1,499 value. This car
has outstanding gas mileage, low emissions, a generous amount of interior room,
and is easy to maneuver in tight spaces, all at a terrific price.

Report: Daihatsu leaving European market
Sun, 16 Jan 2011More than any other, two carmaking giants sit at the top of the industry: Toyota and General Motors. But while GM sells under a (shrinking but still) expansive range of brands, the Toyota Motor Corporation sells most of its vehicles under its own name. That doesn't mean that Toyota, however, doesn't have its own portfolio of subsidiaries. Here in the United States we have the youth-oriented Scion division, while Lexus handles its upscale offerings, and overseas there's Daihatsu.
The budget brand offers a range of small cars under its own name; most are hatchbacks, but there's also the Copen roadster and even a rebadged Camry called the Altis. You may have come across some of their offerings while traveling overseas, particularly in Europe, but that last part is about to come to an end, according to reports.
Word from across the pond is that Toyota plans to withdraw Daihatsu from the European market altogether. The move would reportedly take effect in 2013, and if it comes to pass, would follow similar withdrawals from the North American (1992) and Australian (2006) markets. Thanks for the tip, William!
The real reason automakers are giving away free hydrogen
Wed, Nov 19 2014Just like Hyundai did with its Tucson fuel cell, Toyota is offering free hydrogen fuel with the $57,500 Mirai H2 sedan. Toyota is being a bit vague about the details, saying simply that Mirai drivers will get, "complimentary hydrogen fuel for up to three years." Turns out, the reason that the hydrogen avant-garde will not be paying anything at the pump isn't because the automakers want to give them a boost or because the OEMs are kind. Instead, it's simply impossible to accurately charge people for hydrogen right now. It's simply impossible to accurately charge people for hydrogen right now. At an in-depth hydrogen seminar this week as part of the Mirai preview, three representatives from various hydrogen organizations revealed that the current hydrogen stations (most of which are in California) are not set up to accurately measure the hydrogen that is dispensed. Without this little bit of information, you can't charge customers for the fuel they use. Toyota is well aware of this, and Toyota Motor Sales' national manager of environmental, safety and quality communications, John Hanson, said that, "There are no set standards, so there is no way to charge people for anything." Alberto Ayala, the deputy executive officer for the California Air Resources Board, said CARB is in the middle of developing a way to sell a given amount of hydrogen, "which up to this point doesn't exist. If you think about it, it's a real simple yet real practical challenge. If you're going to pay for X amount of hydrogen, you're actually getting that amount of hydrogen." Ayala said it's not a difficult technical problem to measure the hydrogen as it goes into the car, but "we just have not done it. We are at a point where we are solving multiple remaining questions [with hydrogen infrastructure], and that just happens to be one of them." The National Institute of Standards and Technology says that there has been a discussion to change the current tolerance of two percent up to 10 or 20 percent, but that new technology should be able to measure accurately to within one percent. Air Liquide is working with Toyota to launch the Mirai in the US and Air Liquide CEO Ole Hofelmann told AutoblogGreen that being able to charge customers will be key to the technology's success. "We need to make sure we accurately measure the gas," he said.
Watch a Toyota Highlander ram a house, twice
Mon, 15 Apr 2013Toyota has had plenty of problems in recent years due to claims of unintended acceleration, and now here's a video that actually catches such a claim on video. The driver of this 2010-2013 Toyota Highlander claims that the crossover's accelerator got stuck causing the vehicle to slam into the house twice, and resulting in damage to the Highlander, the house and two vehicles inside the garage. While we don't know when this accident took place, the video was uploaded to YouTube back in January.
It is impossible to determine what actually happened in this video, but what we do know is that a security camera captures the Highlander slowly pulling into the driveway before it lunges forward slamming into the garage. With the tires squealing and metal crunching, the driver then shifts between reverse and drive a couple times causing even more property damage before spinning out in the street and finally being able to shift into Park. Scroll down to see the video for yourself. Whether unintended acceleration or driver error, this was undoubtedly a harrowing ordeal.
