Would you buy a Prius if it had a sleeker design, 60 mpg, or e-4wd?

Recently Motortrend conducted a secret interview with an engineer of the Prius at Toyota and he divulged some secrets of the up and coming 2015 Prius. In an effort to expand our global reach, Toyota engineers are doing all three of the above. They have enhanced the performance of the Prius to attain a staggering and definite cost savings 60 MPG engine. They are also making it a much sleeker design which will increase our aerodynamics and efficiency! Lastly, they are creating an e-4WD which will make the 2015 Prius excellent during snowy driving conditions.

That all being said, which would make you more interested in the Prius?
Sleeker Design
60 Combined MPG
e-4WD

Toyota and Scion take the top two places in Reliability Study

Consumer Reports recently announced that Scion and Toyota took the top two spots in their annual reliability study. The study was based on consumer experiences with 1.2 million vehicles. Consumer Reports then uses the data to predict how well each new car model will hold up. Several brands that in the past few years have taken top spots found themselves on the bottom of the list now. We are so thrilled with the results. We have some fantastic new models and redesigns for the 2012 and 2013 year! We look forward to next year's study so we can show how we are able to stay on top!

Check out the Prius C which was found to be the MOST RELIABLE vehicle of ALL! Here at Hendrick Toyota Wilmington we have several Prius C's in stock as well as more than 50 of the Prius Liftbacks and Prius V (larger model Prius.) Right now our new Prius Liftbacks start at only $21,990. Check out our new vehicle specials including this one by clicking HERE.

Prius c Launch Kicks Off with Strong Sales

Prius Family Sales Nearly 10,000 in First Half of March

Toyota’s subcompact Prius c five-door hatchback, the newest member of the Prius family of hybrid vehicles, is off to a quick start since going on sale March 12.

In its first three days on the market, it sold 1,201 units, making it one Toyota’s fastest-selling vehicles and eclipsing Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf sales for the entire month of February.

“A number of factors drive the auto market, and fuel prices is one of them,” said Bob Carter, group vice president and general manager of the Toyota Division. “With 53 miles-per-gallon in the city and priced under $19,000, the timing for Prius c couldn’t be better.” 

During the first half of March, the four-member Prius Family, including the new Prius c, roomy Prius V, third-generation Liftback and new Plug-in Hybrid, accounted for sales of 9,821.

Toyota adds second shift for production of the 2012 Corolla

Toyota Mississippi Begins Second Shift

BLUE SPRINGS, Miss. (February 6, 2012) –Toyota added a second shift for production of the Corolla, the world’s best-selling car of all time. Approximately 2,000 people are employed at the plant site.

“Adding a second shift is a significant milestone for us,” said David Copenhaver, vice president of administration at TMMMS. “Our team members’ strong work ethic and focus on quality and safety has begun to pay dividends for Corolla customers across North America as we continue production ramp up through spring.”

TMMMS is Toyota’s fourteenth North American plant, further advancing the company’s efforts to design, develop and build vehicles where they are sold. The plant is an $800 million investment and has the annual capacity to produce 150,000 Corollas.

Toyota’s direct total employment in the U.S. is now nearly 31,000. And according to a Center For Automotive Research study, Toyota’s direct employment, plus its dealership network in the U.S., contributes to the support of more than 365,000 jobs nationally with compensation of over $20 billion.

As gas prices rise again, it gets you thinking...

With gas prices yet again reaching records now is a great time to consider what fuel economy you are getting. Do you know? There is a great site you can check out at http://www.fueleconomy.gov/ where you can learn about what gas mileage you are getting. You may be driving a vehicle that gets less than the average these days and it's costing you hundreds if not thousands per year.

We have some great solutions for you that make this gas hike a little less painful! For instance, check out the new Prius c that is coming in March of 2012 to Toyota stores nationwide. They get 53 MPG in the city! They are sporty hybrids and with their average combined gas mileage at 50 they are the MOST fuel efficient (non-hybrid) vehicle available.
