Travel Safe with the Toyota Camry

Travel Safe with the Toyota Camry

With the added traffic on the roadways these coming holidays, there is a need to take extra precautions when planning your trips between now and the first of the year.  State departments of transportation offices as well as many top news reporters in the automotive industry are going to great lengths to bring awareness to the roadways this year.  In a recent trip that I took through the state of Missouri, there were several illuminated road signs along the interstate with sobering facts and statistics regarding safety on the roads.  These signs are intended to get your attention and to remind you of the reality of safety concerns so you can take precautions.  One such sign revealed, “756 road deaths in MO this year, 64% unbuckled.”  The message here: use your seat belt…all the time…every time!  Another sign read, “Roadway deaths 3% higher in MO in 2012.”  Again, the message here is to slow down, drive cautiously, avoid distractions, and make healthy choices behind the wheel.

Toyota has impressed the experts in safety this year.  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration provides 5-star ratings to vehicles that exceed their expectations in all areas tested.  The new Toyota Camry earned a 5-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA.

The NHTSA views the following features to be among the best in safety technology today:

• Electronic Stability Control: Maintains vehicle control.
• Forward Collision Warning: Detects vehicles ahead and cautions driver of impending collisions.
• Lane Departure Warning: Monitors lane markings on the road and cautions driver of unintentional lane changes.

For the best in safety, check out the new Toyota Camry St. Louis car at your local Weiss dealership.

Toyota’s Stance On E15 Fuel

Image
E15 fuel is a source of fuel that is currently catching a lot of heat from people in the automotive industry.  It is a fuel source that consists of 15 percent ethanol and 85 percent gasoline.  The most common type of gasoline that is currently used is E10.  Supporters of this new fuel source believe it will help lower the cost of gasoline for consumers and it will help people become more independent in the energy category. Experts in the auto industry who do not believe in the benefits of this fuel argue that the added alcohol in the make-up will cause potential corrosion in the engine and through the major components of the vehicle, making the cost of repairs far more substantial than any savings at the pump could offset.  When you add the issues of car warranties being potentially invalid due to the use of fuel that isn’t recommended by the manufacturer of most vehicles, you may find it’s not the best choice for your vehicle. Toyota has commented on the fuel saying, “E15 fuel hasn’t

Social Media Strategy with Toyota Cars

Image
Recently autonews.com interviewed Jack Hollis, the Marketing Vice President of the Toyota Division.  Hollis touched on some important factors of selling Toyota cars in this upcoming year.  One thing is for sure, marketing across all businesses will not be able to overlook the power of social media this year.  It has quickly become a rising star in the world of business and sales and people of all ages are turning to it when shopping for products. Hollis spoke about the big social media outlets and how Toyota will use them to promote their brand.  Specifically, he mentioned Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter.  Hollis believes that the “return investment is based upon how you used these all together in a strategic form, not one-by-one on a tactical form.”  In other words, Toyota does not see one of these outlets as more important than another.  They are all very important and should be used together to maximize the benefits our current market has with the availability of social
