Toyota Prius, Highlander Hybrids Named Top Family Cars
Fuel Efficiency Wins Praise as Ford Partnership Takes Shape

MECHANICVILLE, N.Y., Sept. 6, 2011 - Toyota hybrid vehicles have often received acclaim for their fuel efficiency, but U.S. News & World Report is now giving them praise for their family friendliness.The 2011 Toyota Prius and 2011 Toyota Highlander Hybrid both won their respective classes in the publication's 2011 Best Cars for Families list, largely because they make it easy for growing families to save cash at the pumps.

U.S. News & World Report based their family-friendly list by looking at their own car rankings and third-party safety and reliability rankings and long-term ownership costs. Currently available at Toyota dealerships, both the Prius and Highlander Hybrid have received 2011 Top Safety Picks from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and their fuel efficiency makes them cheaper to own on a daily basis. Those characteristics boosted the Prius and Highlander Hybrid to victory in the Hybrid Car and Hybrid SUV categories, respectively, on the 2011 Best Cars for Families list.

"It's great that the Highlander Hybrid and the Prius are being recognized for more than their fantastic fuel economy," said Mike Raucci, general manager of upstate New York Toyota dealer New Country Toyota of Clifton Park. "While efficiency is a big selling point for both vehicles, it's their versatility that makes them stand out from the competition."

The Highlander Hybrid is the automaker's only hybrid SUV, boasting fuel efficiency figures previously unseen in the midsize SUV market, with 28 mpg in both the city and on the highway. With a 3.5-liter V6 and two electric motors, the Highlander Hybrid sports a combined 280 horsepower and comes standard
with all-wheel drive that provides traction in the most slippery conditions, giving parents confidence behind the wheel when snow and rain are in the forecast.

Toyota's success with hybrid technology has also attracted industry attention, and the automaker recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Ford to co-develop a hybrid propulsion system for future trucks and SUVs. The deal will bring together the strengths of both companies; Ford produces the best-selling pickup truck in America, the F-150, and Toyota produces the best-selling hybrid
in history, the Prius.

By combining forces, the automakers will be able to divide development costs, which should mean lower prices for consumers. Under the agreement, Ford and Toyota will only develop the drive system, not an entire vehicle, allowing each automaker to utilize the hybrid system in their own vehicle designs. The two automotive giants will remain competitors in the marketplace.

"With this new partnership, we can expect the next generation of hybrid drives to get to consumers faster, perhaps before the end of the decade," Raucci noted. "That opens up the possibility for a Tundra Hybrid or even a Land Cruiser Hybrid with huge towing and cargo capacity and a modest appetite at the gas pump."

Ford and Toyota will also work together on new telematics technology, which will someday provide even more possibilities for in-car entertainment, navigation and communications.
