Fans, find out why Ben was blown away by the service he received from our staff at Toyota of Redlands. We are looking forward to working with him more in the future!
5-Star Review on Yelp:
"Wow...What a wonderful experience! I am going to list two outstanding employees. First we had Jason Ho to help with with the sale and pre-financing items of purchasing a new car. He really, really made it smooth and easy. Second we had the best ever finance manager of "any" auto dealership. Her name is Cindy Godina and she is a very dedicated, honest, hardworking person, who really knows her job well. Ask for them by name, and you will not be disappointed. The management should recognize both of these employees, and if you are out looking to purchase a new car, I highly recommend Toyota of Redlands."

Fans, John shared this amazing review about his continuous service with us at Toyota of Redlands! Find out why he has enjoyed purchasing and servicing his Toyota with us.
"Absolutely pleased with this dealership!!!!! Always in and out since the date of purchase!
I have been to a lot of dealerships in my lifetime and these guys are very efficient. Even to this day, I still get "check-up" calls from the gentlemen who sold me my 2012 Camry, Josh Green, and he called just to see how I was liking my car. No other place does this i'm sure! And I remember the buying process with this young kid; it was very smooth and fun. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a car! Toyota of Redlands also has a great service department and they treat you like you are important. If you're considering a car in the future or you need some work done, definitely go here.Two thumbs up!!!"Tuesday, March 12, 2013

Architect -- 2013 Camry commercial
Fans, Joan was kind enough to share this excellent review! Be sure to read what was said about the complete car buying experience at Toyota of Redlands!
"David Blanco did a great job. He listen to my needs. I never felt rushed or pressured like many salesmen do. Originally i was looking at the prius c model after looking at some models he showed me a fully stocked prius three. I LOVE my new prius and am so happy with my decision to get the full size version. I will definitely come back to David for my next vehicle. Financing was also a breeze Janell Hall was very helpful and honest about warranties and other add ons i would need to protect my new vehicle. Overall I am extremely happy with my purchase and will recommend Toyota of Redlands to anyone looking for a new car."

Toyota FT-86 Open Concept would make a mighty fine droptop FR-S
WORLD DEBUT FOR TOYOTA FT-86 OPEN CONCEPT
KEY POINTS
- Toyota to unveil new FT-86 Open at Geneva motor show
- Concept created to gauge reaction to possible development of a cabriolet version of the GT86 sports coupe
- Soft-top design allows 2+2 seating format to be retained, with minimal impact on boot space
- Unique color scheme created in Milan to reflect the city's world-leading design status
- Toyota will present its new FT-86 Open concept for the first time at the Geneva motor show, a car created to test the water for the possible introduction of a convertible version of its globally acclaimed GT86 sports coupe.
The concept has been designed to deliver the lively, highly engaging and accessible performance and dynamic abilities of the GT86 with the added appeal of top-down motoring.
Its external dimensions match those of the coupe (length 4,240mm, width 1,750mm, height 1,270mm), with the fixed hard-top replaced by a multi-layered fabric roof with a glass rear screen. Inside it has the same 2+2 seating format, with the roof folding down behind the fixed rear seats, with minimal impact on the space available for luggage.
The show car has a special pure bright white and navy blue color scheme designed by Toyota Boshoku Milan Design (TBMD) to capture the spirit and atmosphere of Milan, one of the world's leading centers for fashion and design. The bodywork is finished in white, contrasting with the blue of the roof. Inside, the perforated white leather upholstery is layered over a navy blue backing, with golden yellow accent stitching and carpets.
The FT-86 Open uses the same platform and powertrain as the GT86. At its heart is the naturally aspirated, horizontally opposed 1,998cc four cylinder "boxer" engine. Equipped with Toyota's D-4S direct injection technology, this compact unit is set low, helping lower the car's overall centre of gravity, and is capable of producing 100bhp per litre. It drives the rear wheels through a short-throw, six-speed manual gear shift or a six-speed automatic – the latter with the world's fastest paddle shift speed, just two tenths of a second.
As with the production GT86, it features MacPherson strut front and double wishbone rear suspension to give a direct handling feel, instant response and a high level of control. The electric power steering has a quick 13.1:1 ratio that's on a par with racing models, while large ventilated disc brakes fore and aft deliver excellent pedal feel for car control finesse.
Toyota has pinpointed numerous areas that will need further engineering evaluation to assess the impact of the cabriolet design on performance, vehicle rigidity, balance, weight and aerodynamics. However, with features such as frameless doors, the GT86 was designed with the development of a cabriolet in mind, which means the impact on structural rigidity by converting to an open-top design should not be great. Efficient measures to preserve rigidity are being analyzed, such as the use of door lock reinforcements.
GT86 has a near-perfect 53:47 front-to-rear weight distribution, helping deliver ideal response to even subtle steering, throttle and brake inputs, and a low, 460mm center of gravity. While introducing a fabric roof is likely to bring the center of gravity even lower, further engineering analysis will be needed to match the balance of the coupe.
GT86 tips the scales at only 1257kg, thanks to comprehensive weight-saving measures, giving the car a power-to-weight ratio of around 160bhp per tonne This is crucial to performance, given the car uses an engine with a relatively small capacity. Engineering the cabriolet to be "weight-neutral" relative to the coupe will be a key area of study should Toyota decided to progress with the project.
