2014 Dodge Dart and the 2014 Corolla S+

We decided to borrow a Dodge Dart from our sister store and a Corolla S+ for our sales personnel to compare. The Dodge Dart is the SXT multi air turbo model with nearly all of the bells and whistles. It's certainly an interesting little car. The model we borrowed gets about 39mpg on the highway as compared to the Corolla S+ that gets 37mpg on the highway and the Corolla LE Eco that does 42mpg on the highway. The interior on the Dart all faces the driver making it a bit more like a European car however, it lacks a touch screen (Optional). The Corolla S+ comes with a touch screen and the ability to do voice commands and use Entune. Stop by check out the Corolla S+ for yourself, and if there are any questions you'd like to ask about either vehicle be sure to comment below.

Skate boarding with Team Toyota and the 2014 Corolla

Toyota Press Room--

TORRANCE, Calif. (Oct. 8, 2013) – A road, a railing and even a Toyota Corolla: To Omar Salazar these are playgrounds to showcase his signature creative approach to street-style skateboarding. Salazar is the newest member of Team Toyota, an exceptional group of athletes selected and supported by Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

He joins the roster of Team Toyota athletes, including skater Bob Burnquist, BMX riders Jamie Bestwick and Drew Bezanson, snowboarders Elena Hight and Louie Vito, skier Simon Dumont, triathlete Hunter Kemper and more.

“Being a part of Team Toyota is an amazing opportunity to share my love of skateboarding with fans and newcomers to the sport,” Salazar said. “I appreciate the chance to work with Toyota and the other awesome Team Toyota athletes from around the sports world.”

The Dew Tour City Championship in San Francisco is a Toyota-sponsored event featuring competitions and demonstrations, including BMX Dirt, FMX, Skateboard Street, BMX Street, Dirt Best Trick, Skate Streetstyle and BMX Streetstyle.

A car for college graduates?

"The Toyota Corolla is all new again, as the 11th generation model has rolled out for the 2014 model year. Corolla is the best selling vehicle in the world and has been part of the American marketplace for more than 45 years. Its bold, refreshing style is a welcome contrast to earlier models, a compact sedan sold in L, LE, LE Eco and S trim levels. And with a base price from $16,800, it just may be the kind of a new car that college students and recent graduates will consider."
