New Year's is Here: Westboro Toyota's Look Back at 2011 and the Road Ahead for 2012

Happy New Year everyone! The ball hasn’t dropped yet, but with New Year’s Eve less than 24 hours away, Westboro Toyota knows the excitement is building and that in about 36 hours we’ll bid adieu to 2011 and welcome in 2012 with a bang.

With New Year’s upon us, it’s that time of year again: to reflect on where we’ve been and set our sights on the horizon ahead.

2011 was a great year for us here at Westboro Toyota and for Toyota in general.

• We welcomed new Priuses to the family – the Prius V, the Prius C, which is set to hit the showroom in 2012, and the Prius Plug-In Hybrid, joined the third generation Prius’ fam.

• Toyota earned more accolades from Vincentric's 7th Annual Best Value in America awards, which rate vehicles based on cost of ownership according to factors including depreciation, fuel, insurance, opportunity cost, financing, maintenance, taxes and state fees, and repairs, for the 2011 model year, in total capturing 10 awards to lead all auto manufacturers!

• The all-new 2012 Toyota Camry, with a sleek redesign, rolled onto the showroom floor, making the 2012 Camry the seventh generation inception of America’s most beloved sedan.

• As we do every year, Westboro Toyota ran a number of great promotions for our customers – from Toyotathon, with $0 down, $0 maintenance fees, and 0% financing to Dunkin Donuts gift cards for booking service online, to deals galore on service.

For 2012, Westboro Toyota’s New Year’s resolution is to continue offering exceptional service and deals for our customers. You’ll still get live pricing on our new Toyota vehicles, and be sure to regularly check our website for deals on Toyota-certified and certified-pre-owned vehicles, too.

2012 is going to be an exciting year for us. We’ve already showed you the brand-new redesigned Camry, and very soon the Prius C will be making its debut here.

Welcome 2012, and to all of your customers, may you have a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!

Tweet, Tweet! Toyota’s Shareathon Going on Now—Your Chance to Bank up to $1,000 on a Prepaid Debit Card

Right now, Toyota Shareathon is going on. That means for the second year in a row, you can earn up to $1,000 on a prepaid debit card just for tweeting about your plans to buy a new Toyota. Not too shabby!

Here’s how it works:

1) Register online now through Dec. 21 at Toyota;

2) tweet a scripted Shareathon message; and

3) buy or lease a new Toyota on or before Jan. 3, 2012.

Follow those three steps and you’ll be eligible for a $500 prepaid debit card. Plus, Toyota Shareathon is offering an additional reward of up to $500. For every retweet your post gets in the 48 hours following your tweet, you’ll earn $50 up to $500, so you could bank up to $1,000 on that prepaid debit card! That’s all for just giving a shout out about the fabulous new Toyota you’re about to buy or lease. Oh, and your followers who retweet your message will be entered to win a 2011 Prius, hello!!

There is a slight catch: Certificates for the prepaid debit cards are available to the first 140 individuals who sign up on each day of the program. Best bet—log on at 11 am EST when the registration for each day begins to snag your reward certificate. Also, once you buy your new Toyota (and we hope that you’ll do that right here at Westboro Toyota), you need to show proof of your unique coupon code and the VIN for your new vehicle to receive the prepaid debit card by Jan. 31, 2012.

So, let’s recap:

Sign up now through Dec. 21 for Shareathon (don’t forget: you must be one of the first 140 registrants for the day to earn your $500 prepaid debit card certificate);

• tweet to your heart’s content about the super cool Toyota you’re about to buy (maybe it’s a Rav 4, a Tundra, a Camry or a Prius Hybrid – the list of great Toyota vehicles goes on);

• come down to Westboro Toyota now through Jan. 3 to purchase your new vehicle (just a reminder, too, Toyotathon is going on right now and that means we’ve got a slew of brand-new 2011 and 2012 models, from the Camry, the Prius, the Venza, the Corolla, the Avalon, the FJ Cruiser, the 4 Runner, the Highlander, the Tundra, the Tacoma, the Sienna, the Matrix and the Rav 4, available with $0 down, $0 maintenance fees, and 0% financing!); and

• reap the reward a brand-new Toyota has to offer you for 2012 and the reward of a free $500 (or up to a $1,000) prepaid debit card!

Congratulations Toyota Prius: You’re 2012’s Best Green Car to Buy

That’s the title the Toyota Prius has been awarded by GreenCarReports.com, and with 2011 practically in the rear-view mirror, 2012 is indeed shaping up to be a big year for Prius.

In naming the Toyota Prius the Best Green Car to Buy for 2012, GreenCarReports reviewers took into account the fleet of Prius’ new technologies, their practicality and their environmental impact, using TheCarConnection’s ratings to help them evaluate the eligible vehicles—all mass-marketed, environmentally conscious vehicles priced under $60,000.

Stop by Westboro Toyota to check out the new Prius line, which recently expanded to become a family of four: from the third-generation Prius liftback, the Prius v, the Prius Plug-in Hybrid and the Prius c.

The new Prius v provides a perfect marriage for a mid-size (it’s super versatile with more cargo space than 80 percent of small SUVs on the road today and has got the fuel efficiency everyone’s come to love with the Toyota Prius). And, the Prius Plug-In Hybrid also gets some of the best gas mileage on the market today!

The Prius Liftback isn’t too shabby, either—it gets an EPA-estimated 50 mpg combined (51 city mpg/ 48 highway mpg) rating.

For those looking to really push the gas consumption envelope, you've gotta check out the Prius Plug-in Hybrid. With seating for five, this car is expected to achieve a 87 MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) in combined driving and 49 MPG in hybrid mode!

Looking for a youthful subcompact vehicle that gets exceptional gas mileage? Then, the Prius c may be for you. It gets better than 50 mpg in the city—the highest city mpg of any non-plug-in vehicle, Plus, the Prius c provides a spirited, peppy and technologically infused ride.

The Prius c and the Prius Plug-in should be hitting the showroom floor in Spring 2012, and we can’t wait! We've also got many Prius models in stock right now. Check out our live pricing on those.

Congrats again Toyota Prius. And congrats, too, to all of you Prius owners out there. Share with us what you love best about your Toyota Prius!
