Sunnyside Toyota

Google recently shot a video in which a man named Steve went out for a drive in his Toyota Prius. During this video, Steve drives around the city, doing errands like picking up his dry cleaning, eating lunch, among others. While this video does not seem very exciting, Steve Mahan is actually blind. The Toyota Prius that he is driving features Google's new self driving car system.

With its subcompact body and Hybrid Synergy Drive, the 2012 Toyota Prius c is one vehicle that Sunnyside Toyota, serving the greater North Olmstead area, is having a hard time getting enough of. And from the sounds of it, we're not alone. Specifically, Edmunds Inside Line is reporting that the all-new hybrid from our favorite Japanese automaker claims the shortest time spent on a dealership lot before being driven home by a new owner…

The flat architecture of the boxer engine, allows it to be mounted low, dropping the center of gravity down, resulting in sporty handling characteristics. For this reason, the FR-S adopted this distinctive combination.The 2000GT was perhaps the first Toyota model to gain recognition within the sports car world, setting 13 international speed records. When it debuted in 1967, one car magazine described the 2000GT as, "A fantastic engineering masterpiece on wheels? a magnificent manifestation of complete automotive ingenuity."

Even by today's standards, the 2000GT's styling is sophisticated and modern. The exterior design of the FR-S is heavily influenced by the 2000GT's profile, making it extremely low to the ground with a long, sleek hood.

Although the S800 and the 2000GT play a significant role in the roots of the FR-S, the car that inspires the Scion sport coupe the most is the Corolla GT-S, known by its true fans as the AE86 or "Hachi-Roku," which means 8-6 in Japanese. The 5th generation Corolla GT-S model, offered in model years 1985-1987, gets its "AE86" name from the car's unique chassis code given by Toyota. It was a moderately priced sports car with a front-engine in a rear-wheel drive configuration. The AE86 didn't rely on brute horsepower, but instead a remarkable combination of a lightweight design and manageable power, offering a perfect balance. It made its way into almost every genre of racing from grip to drift?and from the circuit to mountain roads.

 Although the FR-S will arrive almost 30 years later and doesn't share a single piece of hardware, the spirit and the heritage of the AE86 bleeds into every ounce of the car. The goal was to create an authentic rear-wheel drive sports car with compelling style, exceptionally balanced performance and handling, flexible utility and surprising MPG. The FR-S is expected to achieve all of that in a package that will no doubt bring the "Sport" back to the "Car."The Scion FR-S; built by passion, not by committee.
