Toyota Introduces 2017 Prius Prime
When deciding what to name the next iteration of the world’s best-selling hybrid, Toyota went with a simple name, the Prime. The Prius Prime has already earned its name in several ways, from offering an EPA-estimated 133 MPGe to being equipped with class leading standard safety systems and technology features.
When the Prius Prime goes on sale later this year, drivers will have a hard time deciding which model they want since they all offer available top of the line features like a vertically oriented 11.6” HD multimedia screen, full color head-up display, Toyota Safety Sense™ P, ultra-low profile LED headlights, six exterior colors, a 1.8L Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine, four-seat cabin layout, heated front seats, automatic climate control system, SofTex® synthetic leather trimmed seats, Smart Key System with Push Button Start, JBL® Audio with Prime Apps, Intelligent Clearance Sonar with Intelligent Parking Assist, and an MSRP starting as low as $27,100.

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.”

TeenDrive365 Video Challenge Is Back
With car accidents being the number one killer of teenagers in the United States, Toyota has made it their mission to help teens drive safe. However, they believe the best way to do this is to let teens talk to each other. That’s why Toyota and Discovery Education have been partnering to bring us the TeenDrive365 Video Challenge. Teens who would like to enter are asked to make a short video that encourages safe driving among their peers.
“We’ve held the Toyota TeenDrive365 Video Challenge with Discovery Education for five years now because we know that teens can really get through to other teens about driving safety,” said Mike Goss, General Manager, Social Innovation, Toyota Motor North America. “Every year, teens across the country wow us with a mix of videos that are smart, startling, persuasive and often very funny. We can’t wait to see what this year’s crop of young filmmakers come up with.”
Since the challenge began, Toyota and Discovery Education have awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships and prizes to several teens. This year, the grand prize will be a $15,000 scholarship and the opportunity to reshoot their winning video as a TV-ready PSA with Discovery Films. If your teen is interested, they can register and submit their entries today through February 23, 2017 at www.TeenDrive365inschool.com.

Scion Lives On at Fiore Toyota
As many of our customers already know, the Scion brand is transitioning back to Toyota. For a bit of background, the Scion brand was established back in 2003 as a test lab division for Toyota. They wanted to appeal to a younger audience by offering products that were unique, bold, and reflective of the passion of their drivers. With 13 years and 1 million Scions sold under their belt, let’s look back on the history of Scion in the video above. And for those diehard Scion fans, we still have a few New Scion Vehicles left at Fiore Toyota! Don’t miss out on the chance to own a piece of history!
Buckle Up For Life’s Car Seat Safety Tips
Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, or babysitter, there’s one thing we all agree on: car seats are not exactly simple contraptions. Recently, a study was revealed that 3 out of every four car seats are not installed properly. In honor of Child Passenger Safety Week (September 18-24), Buckle Up For Life, Toyota’s national car seat education program, is sharing five of their top tips for car seat safety.
- Buy New: When you purchase a used vehicle, many times you will get a copy of the vehicle’s history report. With car seats, this is not the case. If the seat has been through a crash, it may be unable to protect your child. Also, general wear and tear can decrease effectiveness. Safety experts agree the best thing to do is to buy a new car seat.
- Measure Twice: Once your child is buckled in, pinch the shoulder strap. If it wrinkles, tighten the strap. Then grab the bottom of the seat and move it from side to side and front to back. If the seat moves any more than an inch either way, it must be tightened.
- Inner Beauty: Don’t be distracted by fancy fabric or other “luxurious” bells and whistles. Safety is most important and considering all car seats must meet the same federal child restraint safety standards, it is silly to spend more money than necessary.
- Give a Boost: We know that children can be adamant that they’re a “big kid” and should be afforded the same privileges, like sitting without a car seat. But, if they’re under 4’9”, a seat belt won’t fit them correctly and will often ride up around their waists or necks, which can be especially dangers in an accident. Use a booster seat until they reach the proper height.
- Consult the Experts: If you’re looking for more tips and advice, there are plenty of excellent resources at BuckleUpForLife.org. Check out things like car seat installation videos and links to car seat inspection stations.
Buckle Up For Life is just one of the ways that Toyota aims to keep their drivers safe. Stop in to see us at Fiore Toyota to learn more about our safety features in our New Toyota Vehicles.
