The 2012 Toyota Yaris: Great Choice for Anyone and Everyone

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Toyota Cars

The Toyota Yaris, which was first introduced in 1999 and is now on its third generation, has been a vehicle leader. However, the 2012 Toyota Yaris really takes the cake. It screams an outstanding choice in performance, comfort, fuel efficiency and safety. It allows a very crisp and contemporary look while still being sporty, due to options such as five-speed manual transmission and quicker-ratio steering.

The Toyota Yaris has features such as an estimated 38 mpg on the highway, safety features such as nine airbags, and sporty distinctive styling. These new safety features help to better protect the driver and passengers with front and rear crumple zones as well as energy-absorbing materials in the roof and doors. The list goes on and on: driver knee airbag, dual-stage front airbags, basically anything you would ever need to be protected. Toyota’s Star Safety System also comes on all models which will allow those in the car to be even better protected. A feature on this provides Smart Stop Technology which will help the driver bring the vehicle to a complete stop. These safety features go above and beyond most cars and provide such a support that isn’t found most places.

Starting at $14,115 it is available at Toyota of Greensburg!

NYIAS Showcases 2013 Toyota Avalon

Posted on April 6, 2012 by Toyota Cars

Toyota teased a few photos and hinted around the internet that they would be debuting a fresh, newly-designed Toyota vehicle at the 2012 New York Auto Show this year. After awhile, we figured it to be the Toyota Avalon sedan, and we were right!

As Toyota’s first car designed, engineered, built, sold and serviced in America, the 2013 Avalon offered a fresh new look and feel for drivers. On the outside, the Avalon sports a sleek style with two red rows of LED taillights, a large lower grille, and Toyota’s double-eye PES headlights.

Inside, you get more of a luxurious feel with premium leather, a new instrument panel, and the well-known Entune infotainment system.

Toyota has not mentioned any powertrain details yet, but internet buzz expects to see the familiar 3.5-liter V-6 and a six-speed automatic transmission for the 2013 Avalon.

You can see more pictures of the 2013 model on our Facebook Page. And check out our website to compare the current Avalon Models with the new 2013 version.

Tennessee Professor Attempts Cross-Country Drive on 10 Gallons of Gas

Posted on March 16, 2012 by Toyota Cars

Cliff Ricketts, a professor of agricultural education, is attempting a drive from Savannah, GA to Long Beach, CA on less than 10 gallons of gas. And he is putting all of his hard work and goals in the trust of three Toyota vehicles – two Toyota Priuses and a 1994 Toyota Tercel.

His plan is to run the vehicles on compressed hydrogen, batteries, or E95, which is mostly ethanol with a little conventional gasoline mixed in.

“My big goal,” he said, “is to go coast to coast on sun and water” –extracting hydrogen from water in the lab with solar power. But he had to switch to E95 after availability of hydrogen tanks were slim.

He started his trip by sticking his foot in the Atlantic Ocean near Savannah and hope to reach the Pacific Ocean within a week.

Can he really make the trip on only 10 gallons of gas? The popular Toyota Camry is rated by the EPA as getting 28 mpg with a 4-cylinder engine; it would burn more than 90 gallons to go on Mr. Rickett’s trip, at a cost of about $350 in today’s market.

UPDATE: Ricketts and his eight-member support team drove three Toyota hybrid alternative-fuels vehicles approximately 2,582 miles across country, using only about 2.15 gallons of fuel — much less than his 10-gallon goal —purchased at the gas pump, according to an MTSU news release. Ricketts said he also plans a similar coast-to-coast trip in 2013, using sun and water.
