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. |

Toyota FCV Concept comes one step closer to reality
Wed, 20 Nov 2013When Toyota first conceptualized a gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle for mainstream Americans to drive, the initial response was pretty skeptical. Still, through relentless engineering and solid product after solid product, Toyota has built the Prius brand into the dominant force in the hybrid car market.
Something like that plan of attack is what the Japanese company is preparing for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, as well, and that attack is seeing a critical salvo fired today with the debut of this FCV Concept at the Tokyo Motor Show.
Though there's nothing substantive to be said about rumors of a 300-mile range or a sticker price around $50,000, the FCV concept does offer a few technical details. The sharp-beaked concept makes use of two high-pressure hydrogen tanks and boasts a power output density of three kilowatts per liter.
Toyota discontinuing FJ Cruiser after 2014 model year
Tue, 20 Aug 2013The Toyota FJ Cruiser is not long for this world. According to the manufacturer's own fleet website, the rugged FJ will be discontinued after the 2014 model year, with the companies final orders due in June of next year.
Toyota first launched the FJ Cruiser in 2006 as a 2007 model, and aside from minor year-over-year changes, it has not been substantially updated. The FJ is the modern successor to the original FJ40 Land Cruiser that Toyota produced from the 1960s all the way up through 1984, when the automaker decided to better focus on its larger, four-door Land Cruiser line. Currently, it uses a 4.0-liter V6 engine with either rear- or four-wheel drive, and is available with either a five-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission. Interestingly, word of the FJ's demise comes not long after Toyota's US boss, Bill Fay, reaffirmed his company's commitment to body-on-frame trucks in late July.
Also of interest, Toyota's fleet website states that the 2014 model year Prius range will have "minor updates," though it's unclear what those are as of this writing. When Autoblog reached out to confirm these developments with Toyota, spokesman Curt McCallister reminded us, "As is our corporate policy, we don't discuss future products beyond the present or upcoming model year."
Details about next-gen Toyota Prius emerge
Tue, 28 Jan 2014The Toyota Prius is undeniably the king of the hybrid market in the United States, with a 39.4 percent market share in 2013. With the next-generation Prius likely to go on sale in 2015, Toyota is trying to build an even more efficient hybrid to keep its control of the market.
Keeping cost down will be one of the major concerns of the new Prius. The next generation will ride on the new, modular Toyota New Global Architecture platform. The lighter underpinnings will improve efficiency and will reduce production costs by allowing for more shared components among vehicles. Toyota will not reveal how many vehicles will use the new platform. But even with the cheaper platform, price will remain a concern. Toyota is still deciding whether all versions of the next Prius will use lithium-ion batteries or whether some models will stick with the heavier nickel-metal hydride batteries to keep cost down.
Of course, the reason most people buy the Prius is because of its great fuel efficiency. Toyota will aim for at least an 8 percent improvement in fuel economy in the next Prius, which would increase it to 58 miles per gallon city and 52 mpg highway.
