Toyota, Lexus and Scion Take 3 of the Top 10 Spots in the 2014 Green Car Guide

We have some great news for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint. Toyota, Lexus and Scion have taken three of the top ten spots in the 2014 Green Car Guide. Here's the story straight from the Toyota USA News Room:

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.

Toyota Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology

Introducing the Toyota Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV). The same hybrid technology at the heart of the Prius but with a hydrogen and fuel cell stack.

Oh, and it only emits WATER VAPOR.

With a driving experience that’s on par with a gasoline engine. It’s not just the next movement in automotive technology; it’s the next big movement towards a better future.

The Fuel Cell Vehicle is anticipated to have an EPA driving range rating of approximately 300 miles. And a refueling time as low as three minutes, which is roughly the same as a gasoline vehicle.

The Fuel Cell Vehicle is emission-free. As in no CO2, no greenhouse gas produced, no emissions. The only by-product is water vapor.

Hydrogen gas is fed into the fuel cell stack where it is combined with oxygen. The electricity produced by this chemical reaction is used to power the electric motor and to charge the battery.

It’s simple science. Our fuel cells generate electricity from hydrogen, a fuel that can be produced from a variety of renewable sources like solar and wind power.

Toyota has been working on hydrogen fuel cell technology for more than 20 years. How far has Toyota engineering come? What if YOUR car could provide power to your home during an emergency? When fully fueled, the Fuel Cell Vehicle has enough juice to power a small house for one week!

The Fuel Cell Vehicle hits US roads in 2015! Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for more updates!

Lipton Toyota - Helping our Newest Drivers DRIVE SAFELY!

At Lipton Toyota, we understand the concerns a parent of a teenage driver may have. Lipton Toyota has been a family owned dealership since 1989, and since then, we have been deeply committed to the safety of our brand new drivers. For this reason, we want to make sure that The Toyota Mutual Driving Agreement is available to all families.

Parents, we want to provide you with this tool to help keep your teen safe on the road. Please sit down with your child and read these promises together. Teens, please encourage your parents to sign the pledge with you.

It may be difficult sometimes for our children to admit it, but we can be a positive role model for them, including in the way we drive. It is important that we, as parents, also promise to comply with all traffic safety regulations, as we ask our teenagers to do the same. For example, let’s promise to wear our safety belt at all times; let’s promise to always obey the posted speed limit and never drive when we are angry, frustrated or emotional. Our teenagers can learn many positive driving habits, from our example, including not driving the car until all passengers are buckled up. No exceptions. Let’s be the drivers we want our children to be.

Together, we can help our newest drivers hit the road safely!
