Automobile Club of Southern California Releases its Green Car Guide Picks

Los Angeles (May 28, 2014) – California drivers looking to save a buck are in luck! Toyota, Lexus and Scion took three of the top ten spots in the 2014 Green Car Guide, published today by the Automobile Club of Southern California.

The Toyota RAV4 EV and Lexus GS 450h placed second and fourth, respectively, in the top five overall green vehicles. The Scion iQ placed fourth in the top five “best value” vehicle category.

“Green vehicles offer a way to save money on Southern California’s high gas prices,” said Steve Mazor, Auto Club Automotive Research Center Manager and Chief Engineer. “The AAA Green Car Guide helps drivers sort through a variety of vehicle options and simplify the car-buying process.”

The Green Car Guide is produced annually by the Auto Club’s Automotive Research Center. The 2014 guide contains information on hybrids, battery electric vehicles, partial zero emission vehicles, compressed natural gas powered vehicles, clean diesels and fuel economy leaders. The guide is designed to help new vehicle buyers with reviews and rankings of low-emission and fuel efficient vehicles.

“Customers shopping for a fuel efficient and environmentally friendly vehicle will find what they’re looking for in this guide,” said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. senior vice president of automotive operations. “Customers appreciate this type of unbiased data and we’re proud to see our Toyota, Lexus and Scion vehicles recognized as top picks.”

Green Car Guide vehicles are evaluated in a number of categories including EPA fuel economy, vehicle emissions, handling, interior noise and cargo capacity. Vehicles are scored from zero to ten in each evaluation category and scores totaled to determine overall green vehicle leaders. The cumulative scores are then divided by vehicle MSRP to determine cost per point or “best value” rankings.

Discover the History and Meaning of the Toyota Logo

Don’t you just love the Toyota logo? It’s so much more than just a collection of shapes, and we absolutely love it! Here are some interesting facts we found at Toyota Global. Let's dive in together and discover the history and meaning of the Toyota logo...

The ideas behind the ovals:

The current Toyota mark was introduced in October of 1989, to commemorate the 50th year of the company. The development of the current logo took about five years, as it was necessary to develop a suitable logo to integrate with the rising profile of Toyota in foreign countries. There were two motivating factors in designing the logo: recognition from a distance announcing the "arrival of Toyota", and a logo with a strong visual impact that stands out from other automobiles.

There are three ovals in the new logo that are combined in a horizontally symmetrical configuration. The two perpendicular ovals inside the larger oval represent the heart of the customer and the heart of the company. They are overlapped to represent a mutually beneficial relationship and trust between each other.

The overlapping of the two perpendicular ovals inside the outer oval symbolize "T" for Toyota, as well as a steering wheel, representing the vehicle itself. The outer oval symbolizes the world embracing Toyota. Each oval is contoured with different stroke thicknesses, similar to the "brush" art known in Japanese culture.

The space in the background within the logo exhibits the "infinite values" which Toyota conveys to its customers: superb quality, value beyond expectation, joy of driving, innovation, and integrity in safety, the environment and social responsibility.

The power of the brand:

This newly designed Toyota logo made its debut on their luxury model, Celsior, in October of 1989. Soon after more models were proudly displaying the new emblem. An unprecedented logo of its time and clearly perceptible from both head on and a rear view mirror, it has quickly became widely recognized as the symbol of "Toyota".
