2012 Toyota Prius V Five With Advanced Technology Package (atp) on 2040-cars

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. |

2015 Toyota Yaris to start at $14,845* and look like this
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Toyota released a new Yaris in Europe and its Vitz clone in Japan a few months ago, so we knew it would only be a matter of time before it would launch the new hatchback here in North America. And that time has come.
The new, more distinctive 2015 Yaris features far more aggressive exterior styling, a look set apart by that large lower air dam and X-motif front end. It rides on a retuned suspension hooked up to an altogether more rigid chassis, and Toyota promises it will ride more quietly and comfortably than the model it replaces. Inside the new model has additional soft-touch materials in a more comfortable cabin equipped with everything from a 6.1-inch touchscreen display to nine airbags.
The 2015 Yaris comes in both three- and five-door bodystyles, and three trim levels that seek to eliminate the need for options packages. In fact the only option to speak of is a dealer-installed nav system. Power comes from a modest 1.5-liter four with variable valve timing, dual overhead cams and sixteen valves, sending 106 horsepower and 103 pound-feet of torque through either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic.
Toyota Aygo, Citro?n C1 to join Peugeot 108 in Geneva
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Just the other day, Peugeot took the wraps off the new 108. But its new city car, like the 107 it replaces, doesn't stand on its own. The 107 was a sister vehicle to not only the Citroën C1 but also the Toyota Aygo. So it should come as little surprise that, while Peugeot was the first to release photos and details on its version, Citroën and Toyota will also be on hand with their own versions when the veils lift on all three at the Geneva Motor Show.
We're expecting the new trio of budget-oriented hatchbacks to bear the fruits of individual efforts to distinguish themselves one from another more than their predecessors, which essentially looked the same save for different badges. But from the teaser image above, we'd venture that the Toyota version will be a further departure from the 108 than the C1 will be.
One way or another we'll have to wait and see, but for now you can view Toyota's teaser clip below, along with the press releases confirming the debut of both in Geneva next month.
NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
