Expect the grand 2009 Toyota Camry from our dealership!
The 2009 model of Toyota Camry is equipped with greater power on its engines, is more fuel efficient; is more spacious, and offers more transmission choices.
It comes on LE, SE and XLE trims. The base LE is given a 2.4-litre engine with an output of 158 horsepower and 161 lb ft torque. It comes with an optional engine –the DOHC, 3.5-litre V-6 engine with 268 horsepower and just 248 lb ft of torque. This is the standard configuration for all the other trims.
The choice of transmission is varied. You can choose between five-speed manual transmissions; an electronically-controlled five-speed automatic or a six-speed automatic transmission for the V6.
The Camry was rated one of the best family sedans in 2007 by AAA and Parents Magazine.
The Toyota Prius
The Prius was introduced as a 2001 model; redesigned for 2004 and updated for 2006. For 2008, the new Prius gets options that include leather upholstery and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. For a shopper interested in a hybrid vehicle, the Prius is a comfortable car with adult-size back seats and lots of cargo space. It also gets aerodynamic and sleek exterior styling that distinguishes it from other vehicles.
The Toyota Prius comes in base and Touring trim levels, with a wide range of optional packages that cater to customer personalization. Standard features include a six-speaker AM/FM/CD stereo; a tilting steering wheel, fabric upholstery; electric air conditioning; power accessories; remote keyless entry; cruise control; intermittent front and rear wipers; and 15-inch aluminum wheels.
The Prius is not an electric car that needs plugging-in. A small, highly efficient four-cylinder, 1.5-liter gasoline-fueled engine, is used in combination with two electric motors, and a gear-set that works as a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The gas engine delivers 76 horsepower and 82 pound-feet of torque, while the electric motors generate 67 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. A regenerative braking system converts energy into electricity, to charge the car's battery pack; the gasoline engine charges the battery as you drive. Under acceleration, both energy sources provide adequate power, but in stop-and-go traffic, the Prius often runs on battery power alone.
The 2008 Prius gets EPA ratings of 48/45 mpg (city/highway). The car is also certified as an Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV); and meets the Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (SULEV) standards, as well as zero evaporative emissions standards.

Service Advisor and Event Organizer, Terry Sells, addressed the crowd letting them know more information about the service and maintenance of their new vehicles as well as, Warranty information. The purpose of this event is to give people another overview of vehicle care and operation that may have been overlooked when picking up their new vehicle. That first day of ownership is very exciting and most of us just want to get in and drive! Having an evening where a knowledgeable service representative is available to ask questions is proving to be a big hit with our customers.
After the presentation in the conference room guests were shown the service area where they will check their vehicles in when coming for maintenance or repair. In the service area, a Certified Technician demonstrated checking fluid levels on a new Camry. Other models were also available.
Tire Maintenance, Safety Features and Emergency procedures such as correct jump starting of a vehicle and changing of tires were also covered in the session.
