Introducing the Toyota Dealer Match Program!

The Toyota Dealer Match Program provides a dollar for dollar match of dealer charitable contributions of up to $10,000 to approved nonprofit organizations. Ultimately, the matching funds from Toyota Motor Sales USA enable dealers to have greater impact on the communities in which they do business. 2011 marks the first year of the program. But rather than support just one organization, Laurel selected four deserving recipients.

“By supporting four organizations with different missions, Laurel Toyota can reach a much broader group of people who need help,” explained Matt Smith, Vice President, Laurel Auto Group. “Whether it is bringing together children and parents for special programs, feeding the homeless, helping to protect victims of abuse, or engaging children with the support they need to succeed in school, these are all organizations that we have worked with in the past, and they do a tremendous job.”

Laurel Toyota will present a $2,500 check to each of the following organizations in the Johnstown area: Beginnings, Inc., The Learning Lamp, Salvation Army and the Women’s Help Center. These donations will then be matched by Toyota Motor Sales USA for a total contribution of $5,000 per organization. Since 1991, Toyota USA has contributed more than $500 million to nonprofit organizations nationwide. To learn more, please visit http://www.toyota.com/about/philanthropy/.

Pennsylvania joins states with texting-while-driving bans

Pennsylvania on Wednesday became the 35th state to ban text messaging while driving.

Governor Tom Corbett signed legislation into law giving police the authority to charge someone caught texting while driving with a primary offense and a $50 fine.

"The urge to keep the conversation going online can cloud judgment, can make it impossible to focus on what (drivers) should be focusing on," said Corbett, who signed the bill into law at an AT&T mobile telephone store in suburban Harrisburg.

Corbett said 13,790 crashes in Pennsylvania were caused in 2010 by distracted driving, which includes more than texting. He said 1,100 of those accidents involved drivers using a handheld cell phone, and 66 people died because they were not paying attention to how they were driving.

"It's hard to argue against the fact that the most distracting thing that you can do behind the wheel is to be texting...and not paying attention to what you should be paying attention to," he said.

Pennsylvania's new law takes effect in 120 days.

It specifically prohibits all drivers from using an interactive wireless communication device to send, read or write a text-based message. Such messages include text messages, instant messages, email or other written communication, it says.

The law institutes a $50 fine for convictions.

How Road Rage Works

Ever wondered about the psychology behind road rage? Read on to find out more!

So what do you think of when you hear the term "road rage"? It's one of those catch phrases everyone has heard, and yet there is no common definition we can all use. Often, people use terms like "road rage" and "aggressive driving" interchangeably.

And while some might say that aggressive driving includes everything from cutting someone off on purpose to tailgating to making obscene gestures andcursing at other drivers, others might claim road rage refers only to incidents where violence erupts between drivers and passengers -- in or around cars. (There are just as many who might reverse those two definitions.) One thing is certain -- road rage is a dangerous phenomenon that can happen to any one of us, either as a perpetrator or a victim.­

Driving a car is stressful -- it's inherently dangerous because even if you're the safest driver in the world, there are a lot different variables that you can't predict, like weather, traffic, accidents, and road work. And what about all those other people on the road? Some of them aren't just bad drivers, they're engaging in risky behavior. Some of them even do things specifically to make you angry or prevent you from getting to where you need to go.

That's the thought progression someone might have just before switching into road-rage mode, leading a driver to make irrational decisions very quickly. All of a sudden, you might be thinking: They need to know that what they're doing is dangerous and stupid, and you should show them. In fact, you should punish them.

There's no denying that driving can be a risky and emotional experience. For many of us, our cars are an extension of our personality, and it might be the most expensive possession we own. When we drive, we're aware that there's potential for injury and property damage. Driving might be an expression of freedom for some, but it's also an activity that tends to increase our stress levels, even if we're not aware of it at the time. Driving is also a communal activity. You might think of driving in terms of your own individual experience. But once you pull into traffic, you've joined a community of other drivers, all of whom have their own goals, fears and driving skills. Psychologists Dr. Leon James and Dr. Diane Nahl say that one factor in road rage is our tendency to concentrate on ourselves while dismissing the communal aspect of driving. It's very easy to perceive another driver's actions in terms of how it affects us, which in turn makes it easy to transition into anger [source: James, Nahl]. Once an expert witness to Congress on traffic psychology, Dr. James, known as "Dr. Driving," believes that the core cause of road rage isn't due to traffic jams or more drivers on the road -- but how our culture views aggressive driving [source: Dr. Driving.org].

In our culture, children learn that the normal rules regarding behavior and civility don't apply when driving a car. They may see their parents engage in competitive-driving behaviors, maneuvering the car with multiple lane changes or traveling at high speeds in a rush to get to a destination. Some popular films and television shows portray aggressive driving as a positive, or at the very least, an exciting activity. To complicate matters, for years pop psychologists suggested that the best way to relieve anger and stress was to vent your frustration, essentially giving into and feeding your negative emotions. However, psychological studies show that venting doesn't help relieve anger at all. In a road rage situation, venting can help escalate an incident into a violent encounter. Americans also tend to view a person who backs away from confrontation as a coward, creating a sense of pressure on a driver to not give up any ground even when no one is judging him. With that in mind, it's no surprise that violent encounters happen occasionally. Almost everyone is predisposed to engaging in irrational behavior while driving -- Dr. James even goes so far as to say that most people are emotionally impaired when they drive [source: James]. The key, psychologists say, is being aware of your emotional state and making the right choices, even when you are tempted to act out emotionally.

Extended Roadside Assistance On 2012 Camry’s!

Great news for those looking to purchase a 2012 Camry!

The Toyota Camry has been America's best-selling car 13 of the last 14 years, including the last nine years running. To thank its loyal owners for this remarkable achievement, Toyota is now offering for a limited time only a special perk to customers who purchase or lease the all new 2012 Camry: 5 years of 24-hour roadside assistance.

This offer builds on the two years of roadside assistance that comes standard on all eligible new Toyota vehicles as part of the Toyota Care complimentary maintenance plan. As such, the benefits of the coverage are the same including:

• Battery jump starts - A service provider will assist with vehicle jump starts as necessary.

• Tire service - A service provider will come to the vehicle location and replace the tire with the customer's inflated spare.

• Lockout protection - A service provider will come to the vehicle location to unlock doors or assist if the key is lost or broken.

• Towing - A service provider will tow the vehicle to the closest Toyota dealership (or to the closest Toyota dealership of the customer's choice if it is within 25 miles of the vehicle's location.)

These services will be provided for five years from the date of purchase, but only on 2012 Camrys delivered by January 3, 2012. Also, this offer does not apply to 2012 Camrys that are part of a rental or
commercial fleet, or a livery or taxi vehicle. Customers who purchase a 2012 Camry while this promotion is applicable will receive a special version of the Toyota Care Welcome Kit that spells out the details
of this additional coverage. The re-invented 2012 Camry offers a sophisticated new design with a new level of interior refinement, roominess and comfort. In addition to our standard QDR, the 7th-generation Camry features class-leading safety features, driving dynamics, fuel economy and multi-media technology. Now, and for a limited time only, it can boast of one more advantage: further bolstering Toyota customers' peace of mind five years down the road!

The 2012 Scion iQ…for buyers who seek to set trends instead of following them

What do you guys think of the Scion iQ? It's set to hit the East Coast in March.

Scion has chosen to make the 2012 Scion iQ available in waves, starting with California, Scion Vice President Jack Hollis told reporters at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit on Wednesday at a ride-and-drive event.

The timetable for the Scion iQ's release is clear. It comes to Scion dealerships on the West Coast "later this fall." It will arrive in Southeast and Gulf States dealerships in the first quarter of 2012, followed by New York. The iQ launch will culminate with deliveries to the East Coast and Midwest in March.

Hollis calls the introduction of the 2012 Scion iQ to the marketplace part of an "exciting, busy time" for Scion.

"Last year we launched the all-new, second-generation tC. Better in every possible way, it was well received by Scion owners – both new and existing – when it reached Scion dealerships last September," Hollis said. "The tC immediately increased showroom traffic … contributing strongly to sales increases for all three Scion models. And it continues to have the youngest median-age buyer in the industry. Shortly after launching the tC, we switched gears to talk about another very sporty car for Scion.

"A few months ago at the N.Y. auto show, we unveiled the FR-S, a sports-car concept that will rewrite the definition of what an affordable sports car can be. FR-S stands for Front-engine… Rear-wheel drive … Sport. But you’ve probably heard that I think it could stand for 'Friggin’ Really Sweet.' While we’re still a few months away from really getting into the FR-S, I’m personally pumped up about where this sports car will take Scion. It’s a fun to drive ... no, scratch that ... it’s an 'Awesome to Drive' car that offers performance that hard-core driving fanatics can only find in a rear-wheel drive. This car will be the perfect daily driver AND weekend warrior."

Hollis contends the tC and FR-S are helping to launch what he calls a “new dimension” of Scion. While both of those cars are adding a big dose of adrenaline with a young buyer who aspires for even more, the 2012 Scion iQ pushes Scion into another, very different direction.

"When we debuted the xB eight years ago it created an iconic vehicle that in many ways symbolically represented what Scion was in the early years of the brand," Hollis said. "And because it was a vehicle that grew to be more than 'just a car' to its owners, it has been imitated quite a bit. But what has made it unique and never been duplicated, is the special connection that xB owners have for their car.

"The iQ will do the same as it ushers in a 'New Urbanism' – a vehicle for a more progressive buyer whose transportation needs and desires are changing. While it will expand the Scion family to a fourth member, and the first all-new model since the tC launched in 2004, it will mean much more than that to Scion. It’s a premium micro-subcompact that will no doubt expand Scion into yet another 'dimension.' ”

Hollis says the iQ will "inherit the Scion DNA of authenticity, community and personalization." The Scion brand, he argues, "has accomplished exactly what the company hoped for when it launched. We're an investment in Toyota’s future."
