New Toyota Hybrid Tour

FanoPrius · 01-04-2007, 05:16 PM

Has anyone heard about this new tour? I checked the tour site (toyota.com/highway) and it seems to be a place holder for now... . The site says this will be a hands-on exhibit where we can learn about hybrid tech., alt. fuels and the environment. Looks like the first event will be at the San Jose Auto Show next week, please post pics if you plan on being at the auto show. Thx!

I read about this on another site. It looks pretty cool - an interactive, high-tech exhibit - that will be going all over the country and spreading the word about alt fuels and hybrid technology. It also has some good partners (Arbor Day Foundation and American Lung Assoc) and visitors can even have a tree planted in there name (worth the visit just for that!) I have a feeling the only way some hybrid-phobes are ever going to see that hybrids are the future (of all cars) is if they go and experience the technology for themselves. The time is right for something like this at the auto shows. As for the site, it looks like a more detailed version is coming; you can sign up to get an alert on when that happens.
