Toyota Helps Veteran In Need
Here at Toyota, we consider providing vehicles to people a pretty important responsibility. But when that is compared to what our nation’s military personnel do everyday it seems pretty insignificant. Consider Congressional Medal of Honor recipient John Philip Baca and the heroism he displayed in 1970 while stationed in Vietnam.
According to an article from Toyota it was said that “In the words of his Medal of Honor citation, Baca ‘unhesitatingly and with complete disregard for his own safety’ covered a grenade tossed into the group with his helmet and his own body, smothering the blast and saving eight fellow soldiers from severe injury or death.”
An act of courage and unselfishness like that is something that can never be repaid nor is there any praise high enough for Mr. Baca and his efforts. Toyota, however, through the help of the American Soldier Network (ASN), learned that Baca was in need of transportation for himself and his service dog JoJo. Shortly thereafter, at a Forgotten Sons “Ride to Live” fundraising motorcycle ride Baca and JoJo were surprised with a brand new Platinum edition Toyota Tundra.
“As a veteran myself, I can truly understand the many perils that John and his fellow troops endured defending our nation,” said Smith. “It gives me great pleasure to present him with this Tundra on behalf of Toyota and our team members across America as just a small token of our gratitude to him for his service.”
It doesn’t stop there. Toyota has announced that $5,000 will be donated to ASN on Baca’s behalf. Oh, and JoJo received a year’s supply of dog food and dog travel accessories from Hills Dog Food, Purina Dog Food and MWI Animal Health.

Toyota Camry Named A Best Car For Teen Drivers
Looking for a safe, reliable car for your newly licensed teen driver to drive? A recent list from edmunds.com declared that a mid-size sedan with the latest safety features is your best option. They also specifically suggested the Toyota Camry as a best buy for teens!
“Small cars don’t offer as much protection in crashes, sporty cars may encourage speeding or recklessness, and SUVs and pickup trucks are more difficult to maneuver and more likely to roll over.” says Tamra Johnson, manager of public relations for the Automobile Association of America.
The Camry offers a plethora of standard and optional safety technologies like ABS, rearview camera, airbags, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitor, and front collision warning with automatic emergency braking. The Camry also comes with Safety Connect and the backing of the IIHS with their Top Safety Pick+ award.
Visit Fiore Toyota today with your teen and take a test drive in the Camry!

In today’s society people and businesses are trying to “green-up” their image. Well, it looks like Toyota is about to set a new high standard for green business. A newly-opened Toyota dealership in Corvallis, Oregon is on schedule to receive both Net Zero Energy and LEED® Platinum certifications.
“As a design firm committed to constantly raising the bar and leading the charge on the future of sustainable design projects, we are very proud of this project,” said Rick Ferrara, Project Director at Gensler. “Not only is Toyota of Corvallis setting a new standard for Toyota, they are leading the industry in a completely new direction.”
Over the next year, the architect of the 34,800-square-foot facility will collect data to ensure that both certifications become a reality. To become a Net Zero Energy facility, the building must prove that it has produced more energy than it has used. With the help of solar panels and the return of energy to the local power grid, this goal should be easily attainable.
“Toyota is focused on being a leader in environmental sustainment through our development of hybrid and fuel cell technologies, the creation of energy efficient facilities and our commitment to support philanthropic organizations that address environmental issues,” said Steve Haag, Toyota Motor Sales regional manager. “We applaud Toyota of Corvallis for setting a positive example and creating a first-of-its-kind template for the auto dealership of the future.”
