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.”

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.
