Toyota Of Wallingford

Toyota of Wallingford, a leading Connecticut Toyota dealer is excited to announce that the Prius line-up is expanding with three new models, one of which is the more spacious 2012 Toyota Prius v.

The battery powered Prius just got more appealing. With three new models expected to arrive this year, the Prius will offer even more versatility when it comes to available body styles and features. The 2012 Toyota Prius v, Prius c concept car, and the Prius plug-in hybrid will all retain the best qualities of the current Prius model while also appealing to more car shoppers with different automotive needs.

The new Prius v will be the first model available to Connecticut Toyota shoppers, as it is expected to hit showroom floors in the fall of 2011. The largest of the new Prius variations, the new 2012 Prius v offers ample space for passengers and cargo while still retaining an overall lightweight aerodynamic design that not only boasts a .29 coefficient of drag but also an eye-pleasing exterior reminiscent of a wagon.

Connecticut Toyota Fans Applaud Efficient Options

The Prius v is the perfect Prius for families or auto shoppers who just need the cargo space. This vehicle can comfortably seat 5 and averages 42mpg on the road, which is great news for Connecticut Toyota shoppers.

"The Prius v brings leading-edge hybrid technology to customers who need more room and provides more cargo space than 80 percent of all small SUVs," said Toyota Division Group Vice President and General Manager Bob Carter. "And because it's a Prius, it produces 66 percent fewer smog-forming emissions than the average new vehicle and will have the best mileage ratings of any SUV, crossover, or wagon sold in America. We think that's a win-win for everybody."

In addition, the new 2012 Toyota Prius v is available with top-notch technology features designed to keep everyone safe and entertained. One such feature is the Entune? multimedia system that not only has the ability to read text messages and reply with pre-created text responses but it is also connected to iheartradio's 750+ stations and Pandora's personalized music service.

About 1,000 Jobs Added to Produce Toyota's Best-Selling Pickup
 
SAN ANTONIO, Texas (August 6, 2010) - Production of the Tacoma pickup truck began last month but was marked today with a ceremony at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Texas, Inc. (TMMTX).  The $100 million investment boosts total investment to $1.4 billion.
 
Texas Governor Rick Perry joined San Antonio community leaders, team members, suppliers as well as Toyota officials including Toyota Motor Corporation Executive Vice President Atsushi Niimi.
 
Tacoma's production move to TMMTX was announced a year ago and adds 1,000 jobs. Today, over 2,800 team members are employed at TMMTX and the plant is fully positioned to ramp up Toyota's pickup truck production for the American market.
 
"The San Antonio plant has shown a great deal of resilience during the recession and is fully prepared to ramp-up Tacoma production," said Chris Nielsen, TMMTX president.  "By building Tacoma in Texas, we are able to consolidate pickup truck production in the United States under one roof, allowing us to fully utilize the plant's capacity."
 
During the economic downturn, TMMTX was one of several Toyota plants impacted by poor sales.  However, TMMTX retained its workforce instead of laying off, in order to strengthen team members' skills and improve plant processes.
