2007 Toyota Prius / 1 Owner / Backup Cam, Jbl Sound, Bluetooth / Very Clean on 2040-cars
Lafayette, Indiana, United States
This is a one of those rare, one (nerd) owned 2007 Toyota Prius in Seaside Pearl blue. The car has 116k miles on it. It has been well cared for and has had all it's regularly scheduled maintenance as per Toyota's specs. Runs perfectly! It has brand new tires! The car has the "Package 3" which includes the 9 speaker JBL sound system with AM/FM/6 CD Changer (and iPod/mini plug input), Satellite Radio, Bluetooth Audio & Hands Free (i.e. for your iPhone), Vehicle Stability Control, Smart Key Fob, Alloy Wheels and the coveted Rear Backup Camera! Clean and clear title. If you have any questions, feel free to call me. I'm happy to talk about the car and help convert you into a Prius owner :) If you haven't already, check out the PriusChat.com forum! That is a trove of great Prius information. If it doesn't sell, it's going to the dealer as a trade-in so Buy It Now! Pickup/Delivery: if you're not local but within 250 miles and cannot pickup the vehicle for some reason, we can negotiate delivery. David 818.448.8392 On a personal note (since buying a car is a very personal experience): I'm an economist and somewhat of a nerd. The instant fuel economy screen has made driving this car somewhat of a video game trying to maximize the MPG. It's quite fun! I'm also the sort of person inclined to "buy once, cry once" and be a good steward of the things I've invested my money, time and energy into. This car has been no exception. |

Toyota engineer warns automous cars could increase fuel use, urban sprawl
Fri, 18 Jul 2014An increasing number of people are starting to consider the potential downsides of a transition to autonomous cars. The FBI is already looking at them for the potential ill effects on law enforcement, and a scientist for Toyota is raising the possibility that driverless vehicles could actually be detrimental to the environment over the long term.
Ken Laberteaux, who studies future transportation for Toyota, thinks that autonomous cars could lead to more pollution, not less, says Bloomberg. However, Laberteaux's theory isn't so much based purely on science as it is considering behavioral and historical trends. "US history shows that anytime you make driving easier, there seems to be this inexhaustible desire to live further from things," said Laberteaux during a presentation at the Automated Vehicles Symposium in San Francisco, CA, cited by Bloomberg.
Laberteaux's belief is that if commuters can make their drives easier, then they will be more willing to live farther away from the cities where they work. The end result would be more urban sprawl and increased pollution from the longer travel times.
GM outsold VW globaly in first quarter, Toyota reports numbers next week
Thu, 18 Apr 2013General Motors released its first quarter sales figures this week, reporting that it sold 2.36 million cars and trucks worldwide. That figure represents an increase of 3.6 percent when compared to the same period last year. GM's growth was attributed to many factors, including global Cadillac sales that were up 26 percent and Chevrolet posting a one percent increase over last year (this marked Chevy's tenth straight year of record global sales).
Volkswagen came in just behind GM, as the German automaker reported global sales from January through March at 2.27 million vehicles, an increase of five percent when compared to last year. While that number was strong, VW is cautioning that markets outside China and the US, such as those in Europe, are becoming a challenge as economies falter.
Yet to report sales is Toyota, current holder of the global world sales crown (the Japanese company sold 9.75 million cars last year, against 9.29 million sold by GM and 9.1 million vehicles sold by VW). Even though GM and Toyota both say they don't care who sells the most units, it is unquestionably a strong bragging point and sales equate to revenue. That said, Toyota will report its first quarter numbers next week.
First 2014 Toyota Corolla commercial dances through time
Sat, 07 Sep 2013Despite the fact that the Toyota Corolla pretty much sells itself, the eleventh-generation 2014 model is getting a huge marketing push that aims to appeal to both Millennials (of course), as well as the older generations that have lived with the stalwart Japanese compact for decades. The first television advertising spot, called, "Style Never Goes Out of Style," shows that the Corolla has had a place in mainstream culture since its launch in the 1960s. We have to admit, it's pretty cool to see older models from the '60s, '70s and '80s come out to play for this commercial, especially the latter of those, as it gives us enthusiasts fond memories of the infamous AE86.
The whole web/broadcast/print/social media marketing campaign surrounding the 2014 Corolla is called "Elevate," because, according to Toyota:
Extensive market research shows that Millennials are looking to take their career to the next level and are looking to buy their first 'real' car to get them there. The design of the all-new Corolla is significantly elevated from the previous generations, creating a more dynamic and desirable image for the Corolla nameplate that will appeal to these younger buyers.
