‘Genie’ Kaley Cuoco Grants Wishes in All-New Toyota RAV4 Commercial

Embodying the modern, stylish and smart characteristics of the all-new RAV4, Toyota’s new “Wish Granted” commercial starring Kaley Cuoco will make its broadcast debut on Feb. 3.  The star of CBS hit show “The Big Bang Theory” will appear granting the wishes of a family in unexpected and creative ways during one of the biggest sporting and advertising events of the year.  Cuoco’s comedic chops made her a perfect partner in bringing the RAV4 Genie character to life.

“The all-new RAV4 is a testament to the people that drive it and live lifestyles that are full of energy and enthusiasm, which is one of the reasons we are so pumped to work with Kaley to showcase it,” said Jack Hollis, vice president of Toyota Division Marketing at Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. “We wanted to share Toyota’s ‘Let’s Go Places’ spirit of journey with viewers of the big game in a light and relatable way.”

“Wish Granted” features the all-new RAV4 that comes with a modern genie played by Cuoco who grants wishes to the Henderson family, the owners of the vehicle.  With a loveable, sidekick dog, Chester, Cuoco goes about granting the wishes of each family member in her own interpretation. The journey takes the family on a series of unexpected adventures including a trip to space and fulfilling the daughter’s request for princessdom. 

“As soon as I saw the script, I knew I wanted to be in this commercial because the sense of humor was right up my alley,” said Cuoco.  “It was so much fun and I’m excited that everyone gets to see it now and again on Sunday.”

The 60-second RAV4 commercial is designed to resonate with people who lead active, busy lifestyles but still make time to embrace everyday adventures.  It speaks to drivers who want a stylish, capable and versatile vehicle that keeps up with the pace of their lives and still allows them to find the enjoyment and excitement along the way.

The commercial also features an image submitted by Ryan Koch of Fitchburg, Wis., as part of the Get In the Big Game opportunity that took place earlier this month.  Fans were invited to upload photos of themselves using the hashtag #wishgranted to Instagram and Twitter, and Koch’s photo was selected to appear in the ad.

"Ryan's photo captures the spirit and lifestyle of Toyota’s new brand direction – ‘Let’s Go Places’ – and the all new RAV4,” said Hollis. “Toyota’s ‘Let’s Go Places’ is all about inviting our customers on a fun journey with us, and the Get in the Big Game campaign was an opportunity to do just that.”

“Wish Granted,” created by Saatchi & Saatchi LA, will run during the first quarter of Sunday’s game, followed by the Toyota Super Bowl Today Post-Game Show, which will also include the airing of two additional new commercials highlighting the Tundra Endeavour tow and the recently-launched company direction, “Let’s Go Places.”

Scion FR-S Wins Cars.com Best of 2013 Award

Collecting its first award of the new year, the Scion FR-S captured the Best of 2013 award from Cars.com, an online review and consumer information website. The win was announced at a Cars.com event surrounding the North American International Auto Show in Detroit and shared with the Subaru BRZ.

To earn the Best of 2013 overall award, the FR-S competed against all new and redesigned vehicles. Judges applauded the FR-S driving experience and affordability across all categories. First winning the best sports car award, the FR-S also bested competitors in the best SUV, midsize sedan, luxury sedan, pickup and hybrid categories to earn the overall prize.

“Winning the Best of 2013 award is an honor and evidence of the sustained energy around the FR-S,” said Scion Vice President Doug Murtha. “As many drivers have discovered, the FR-S is truly bringing the sport back to the car.”

2013 Detroit Auto Show - Toyota Corolla Furia Concept Reveal

As the name “Furia” suggests, this concept vehicle has a “ferocious” look and a “fury” of energetic design elements.

There are a lot of words designers use to describe it, but just let me say it’s a great looking car.  And I’m sure it will cause some surprise from those who may have preconceived notions about the future of Corolla.

The Furia is a dynamic compact-sedan interpretation, with short overhangs to emphasize a long wheelbase.  Furia is designed around a theme that uses pure and simple surface elements to create a confident, more decisive appearance.

It features a dramatically swept windshield, sloped roofline, pronounced fender flares, and a blazing custom color I call “Fuego Furioso.”

After the sizzling color catches your eye, the aggressive front fascia dominates with a blacked-out grille and carbon fiber lower spoiler.  The carbon fiber treatment extends down the rocker panels and rear valance, finishing with an attention-grabbing rear spoiler.  The ultramodern, yet aggressive, 19-inch alloy wheels are pushed out to the corners to enhance the Furia’s stable stance.

Sculpted front LED headlamps and rear composite LED taillights give the vehicle a technologically advanced image.

While Furia is clearly focused on the exterior, our designers are also pushing the envelope on interior styling that will surprise a lot of people, with roominess, comfort and premium materials.

It’s only a concept, but the Corolla Furia sends a clear message where we’re going in the future.
Not only will the styling be more expressive, but it will also reflect our overall approach to the compact segment in every way.

As the Furia name might imply, we’re “furiously” working on future products, so our customers can “go places” in style, comfort, safety and connected to their world.

Thanks again for joining us today.

Hey fans! Be sure to check out these awesome reviews about both our sales and service department!

5-Star Reviews on Edmunds:

"The personnel at Toyota of Redlands are top notch. I have had 6 toyotas and have always taken them to this location for service. Personnel are friendly, helpful, and honest, unlike other service companies who will take advantage of an "un-educated" female and talk them into needing parts, service that they don't need. They are great at providing me with a completion time and keeping me up-to-date on the progress. I have never had an instance where they went over the time communicated even if they found additional items that required attention. The shuttle service is very convenient as well. I would highly recommend Toyota of Redlands"

"I worked with Jason in the internet department, and the details of the sale were worked out before I arrived at the dealership. I drove the car to make sure everything was okay--then went to financing department. The pitch for additional items was low key, and I did not feel pressured into purchasing them. Probably the best sales experience I have had to date."
