Toyota was recognized as the top automaker and awarded for its achievements. Toyota was recognized for two technologies including automotive electronics power cooling and omnidirectional structural color, while the Toyota Research Institute was awarded for their work in hybrid and electric vehicle technology. Finally, Toyota Motor Corporation was celebrated for their advancements in thermal cooling in the Land Cruiser Prado. “As companies in the automotive industry transform themselves into broader mobility providers, no auto company better demonstrates innovation and technology for the future than Toyota,” said Jeff Makarewicz, senior vice president, Toyota Technical Center (TTC), Toyota’s North American research & development headquarters. “We’re focused on delivering great experiences for our customers, a cornerstone of Toyota’s product commitment, and this recognition is proof we’re living up to that promise.” Congratulations to Toyota on this impressive recognition!

The much anticipated 2016 SEMA Show wrapped up last week, and while they were a number of exciting customized vehicles there, no brand shined bright than Toyota. The lineup featured a variety of vehicles that were intended to showcase Toyota innovation and celebrate the past, present, and future. “The Toyota call to action is ‘Let’s Go Places,’ ” said Steve Appelbaum, Toyota Motor Sales National Engagement Marketing Manager. “This phrase encompasses what we are, what we do and what we create. It’s our guiding principle and at the core of our promise to customers. Our SEMA display demonstrates the breadth of that promise, across all generations of Toyota vehicles.” See the lineup below for yourself! Land Speed Cruiser: With a top speed of 220 miles per hour, this is the World’s Fastest SUV, thanks to a 5.7L Toyota V8 Engine and custom ATI transmission. XTREME Corolla: Toyota gave the four-door vehicle a makeover and transformed it into a sexy coupe, with a custom interior, two-color paintjob, and turbocharged engine. Extreme Sienna: This version of the Swagger Wagon is controlled by an iPad, with customized features like TRD brakes, rear spoiler, performance tires and wheels, and a luxurious Learjet interior.

In the past several years, we’ve seen a huge change in the way people get around. With the rise of car-sharing and ride-sharing, people are finding new ways to get to the places they need to be. Toyota, as our customers already know, is all about going places. That’s why they’re leading the way in embracing mobility services and forming strategic partnerships to help empower drivers and passengers. Toyota has recently introduced their Mobility Service Platform (MSPF), which will help mobility service providers like their partner, Uber and most recently, car-sharing company, Getaround serve their customers. MSPF offers functions like vehicle management systems, leasing programs, and technological innovations like Toyota’s new Smart Key Box (SKB). The SKB will give car-sharing users the ability to lock, unlock, and start their vehicle from their smartphone, making lending and renting cars easier and more secure. “As a mobility service platform provider, by collaborating with various companies and services, we would like to help create a new mobility society in order to offer safer and more convenient mobility to our customers,” said Shigeki Tomoyama, President of Toyota’s in-house Connected Company. Keep up with the DELLA Toyota in Plattsburgh blog for more updates on Toyota’s latest partnerships and technology!

What do ghosts serve for dessert? Ice Scream. Happy Halloween from everyone here at DELLA Toyota in Plattsburgh!

With New York being one of the oldest states in the country, there is plenty of history here, as well as plenty of hauntings. This time of year is the perfect opportunity to explore some of them. Don’t worry, you won’t have to travel very far outside of Plattsburgh, NY; Burlington, St. Albans, VT; Lake Placid, and Malone, NY. So grab your New Toyota from DELLA Toyota in Plattsburgh and head out this weekend on a haunted road trip! Your first stop is right in our backyard: SUNY Plattsburgh Macdonough Hall! This hall is reportedly extremely haunted. Residents have reported a number of incidents including hearing toilets flush and witnessing radios, lights, and fire alarms randomly turn on. People have also seen strange apparitions. Most people attribute this spiritual behavior to the fact that the hall was built on a marshland. During construction, workers found bones and a headstone of a woman who died in 1812. The next stop on our haunted road trip is St. Albans Bay State Park. There is apparently a “phantom ship” that floats in the bay, with ghost pirates that call out to nearby fishermen. The legend goes that these pirates are attempting to capture Champ, the creature who supposedly lives in the bay. If you’ve never visited the Gold Brook Covered Bridge, this next stop on our list is a must. Better known as “Emily’s Bridge,” this bridge was apparently the site of a suicide. Emily, who was stood up by her fiance after they planned to elope, hung herself on a rafter. There are plenty of other stories explaining how she died, including being run over by horses and knocked to the rocky banks below. Regardless of what you believe, everyone reports hearing strange noises like screams and others have even reported seeing Emily’s ghost. You’ll probably be hungry by this point, so we suggest swinging by American Flatbread in Burlington, VT. The restaurant, which was previously called Carbus, is haunted by a former employee who shot himself in the head in the basement. Employees are told not to go down into the basement, as many have been trapped in the walk-in freezer, which mysteriously slams shut unexpectedly. Finish up your tour-de-Halloween at the Plattsburgh Airforce Base which is home to several haunts and horrors. There have been reports of multiple spirit sightings, including ghost children, a Revolutionary War soldier seen marching back and forth, and a lady in white who haunts the woods nearby. There was also a gym that was once used as a wartime morgue. Guests have reported sounds of screams and pounding. Also, if you dare enter the basement, it’s said to be painted red for a good reason - to cover up the blood stains.
