THE MIRACLE BATTERY

Published Wednesday, 19 October, 2011 by David Maurer. Categories: News.

Toyota has developed a secondary electric car battery that can last up to 1,000 km per charge, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported Monday. That is 5 times the energy storage capacity of existing batteries.

Toyota came up with the prototype in collaboration with the Tokyo Institute of Technology and the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization. The new battery is based on a solid core and its simplified structure means it does not require fire-retardant materials. It eliminates the disadvantages of lithium-ion batteries, which are based on an easily heatable and combustible liquid core.

THE SCOOP ON $0 DOWN LEASES

Published Wednesday, 19 October, 2011 by David Maurer. Categories: Finance.

Is it possible to lease a car with no down payment? Absolutely! But the monthly payment will be higher since you are not pre-paying some of the lease obligation. In general, you can expect your lease payment to increase by about $30 for every $1,000 you don't make as a down payment.

When signing the papers for a lease, you pay a down payment (or not), sales tax on your down payment, your first month's payment, possibly a security deposit (which you get back at lease-end), and any official fees required in your city, county, or state…

MOTORTREND: 2012 YARIS REVIEW

Published Wednesday, 19 October, 2011 by David Maurer. Categories: New Inventory.

We're peering at the freshly generated spec chart for the 2012 Toyota Yaris before us, and our eyes slither down to the 0-60 mph box, the omniscient measure of acceleration. The updated Yaris hits the 60 mph mark in 9.1 seconds - with the carryover 1.5-liter 4-cylinder and 5-speed manual transmission.

Allow us to clarify: The 2012 Yaris SE, the most eye-catching add-on to the burgeoning B-sized Yaris litter, is offered solely as a 5-door hatchback. The newest Toyota runt distinguishes itself from the pack with firmer steering, front springs that are 20% stiffer than stock, and front…

WINTER TIRE TYPES

Published Thursday, 13 October, 2011 by David Maurer. Categories: Service.

There are 3 main types of winter tires:

Studdable Snow/Winter: Developed to accomodate optional metal studs that enhance ice and hard-packed snow traction. When studded, these tires typically trade some noise and ride comfort…
