Did you see the popular movie, The Martian featuring Matt Damon? In it, Damon is separated from his team while they are traversing the inhospitable planet of Mars. The movie follows the astronaut’s survival attempts and despite the serious subject matter, is pretty funny.

We thought of this movie recently when we saw this Toyota commercial. It features James, a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid-owner who is innocently driving along when he comes across a group of “space travelers” in the desert.

Style, versatility and fuel efficiency--what else could you want from a sport-utility vehicle? If it's a connected drive with advanced technology, flexible cargo capacity and safety features that deliver peace of mind, you should meet the all-new 2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid.

Where we go when we die has been an age-old question, the hotly-debated foundation of philosophies and religions the world over. An easier question to answer-- and much less philosophical-- is where hybrid car batteries go when they die.

The answer to that is-- they don't really die. At least not when you think they do.

To you, the driver, your battery is dead when it is no longer providing adequate power to the motor. However, consider how much power it takes to push a car along. It's an enormous energy demand on just one battery.

So, after…

Many of you already know this, but Pennsylvania was the birthplace of the oil industry. It's true. In Titusville, PA, the very first oil wells were dug. Soon, wells were popping up everywhere as we found new and innovative uses for oil-- like powering automobiles.

But it's been a long time, and most of our state's oil is gone. So why did Toyota make a pit stop for fuel at Oil Creek?

For the water.

Well, okay, they could have gotten water anywhere. It was mostly to make a point. A symbolic gesture. A nod to history…

The Toyota Prius is a relatively recent model. They've only existed for about 15 years now. So, do we know how reliable they are?

Well, Bob Old still has his second generation 2004 Toyota Prius, and he'll tell you how it's been treating him.

The driver's seat is now perfectly formed to his body from 435,000 miles behind the wheel. He likes it that way. Though his Toyota dealer suggests he get a new car, Bob thinks he'll drive his Prius into the ground. And so far, the ground seems like it could still…

We have a lot of cattle here in the United States. There's nothing like a delicious hamburger sizzling on the grill. Without milk, cereal would be dry crunchy boring bits.

We use nearly every part of the cow for something, and we think it's about time poop started pulling its own weight.

Using a simple refinement process, Toyota is able to start out with a pile of manure, and end up with pure…

The Prius started a new era of efficient vehicles, and we think that the upcoming Mirai is going to do the same. Check out the video below to hear what Toyota thinks of the future of vehicles like these ones.

This video makes it clear that efficiency is really important to Toyota. They are not only introducing new vehicles like the Mirai to the mix, but they are also making plans to keep offering all…

The Consumer Electronics Show is going on right now in Las Vegas and there have already been tons of incredibly things revealed to all of us here online and present at the show. One of which is something that's been a long time coming, something highly anticipated, and something that could potentially revolutionize the way that we refuel and drive in the future: the Toyota Hydrogen Vehicle.

True, we did see it last year…

For Thorndale, PA area drivers who are on the hunt for an ultra-green-mobile, you'll find just the thing among the new Toyota lineup we offer here at our dealership.

Not only do we carry vehicles of all shapes and sizes, with innovative alternatives to a gas engine, like the Toyota Prius, but our entire range of vehicles have eco-friendly habits.

That's because a new Toyota model, whether a hybrid, EV, or not, is...

Last month, we were telling you all about the bright future that awaits our beloved Toyota Prius. Given its bright past, we can't exactly say this was news to us here at Del Toyota Inc.
