2013 Toyota Tacoma Overview Philadelphia PA

Vehicle Profile: 2013 Toyota Tacoma



A touch of luxury added to a best-seller, from Conicelli Toyota.


The Toyota Tacoma has long been the best-selling compact pickup, and the truck is still going strong. Adding to recent enhancements to the Tacoma, Toyota has introduced some new upgrades for the 2013 Toyota Tacoma to increase the refinement and visual appeal.

The new upgrades come courtesy of a new Limited Package, which adds interior additions like SofTex®-trimmed heated seats, a leather-trimmed steering wheel with audio controls, a Display Audio System with Entune™ and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror with a rear camera display. These additions lend a greater level of comfort and convenience to the already well-equipped cabin. The exterior updates of the Limited Package include 18-inch chrome wheels, a chrome grille surround and foglamps. The rear bumper, exterior mirrors and door handles are also chrome.


Carried over from last year are the many customization options. With three cab sizes, two engine choices, available 4WD and multiple performance packages, the Tacoma can be customized to suit any need. Available engines include a 159-hp 2.7-liter four-cylinder that can be equipped with a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. The 4.0-liter V6 produces 236 hp and comes paired with a six-speed manual transmission or a five-speed automatic. Cabin options include Regular Cab, Access Cab and Double Cab. Regular Cab and Access Cab models come standard with a 73.5-inch bed, while the Double Cab is standard with a shorter, 60.3-inch bed and available with the longer bed. Mileage estimates range from an EPA-estimated 21 mpg city/25 mpg highway for the Regular Cab 2.7-liter with the five-speed manual, to 16 mpg city/21 mpg highway for the 4.0-liter V6 4x4 Double Cab long bed with the five-speed automatic.

Happy Conicelli Customer with his new Tacoma Long Bed with added cap
 The well-equipped 2013 Tacoma 4x2 Regular Cab (MSRP $17,525) features a Display Audio stereo with a 6.1-inch touch-screen, Bluetooth® and USB capability. All Access Cab and Double Cab models get added features like power windows and locks. The Double Cab V6 models feature a more advanced version of the Display Audio system with seven JBL® GreenEdge™ JBL Synthesis® speakers including a subwoofer.


For buyers who want more off-road ability than the standard 4x4 provides, Toyota offers the TRD Off-Road Package for V6 automatic models. The package includes Hill-start Assist Control (HAC), Downhill Assist Control (DAC) and a switch-activated locking rear differential. HAC controls the brakes on each wheel independently to stop the Tacoma from rolling backwards or sliding sideways when climbing a grade from a stop. DAC works by using engine braking and brake control to regulate downhill speeds.

The Tacoma, like all Toyota vehicles, features the Star Safety System™, which includes Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, an Anti-lock Braking System, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Brake Assist, and Smart Stop brake override technology. Each Tacoma also comes equipped with six airbags. To keep your Tacoma in optimal running condition, the standard Toyota Care covers all scheduled maintenance for two-years/25,000 miles. Free 24-hour roadside assistance is also included with Toyota Care.

The new Tacoma is the best yet. Come in today and experience the 2013 Toyota Tacoma.

Hyundai Car Care: Transmission Care



1-888-CONICELLI or www.conicellihyudai.com

A healthy transmission is crucial for smooth operation



One of the most important parts of your Hyundai, and often a part you rarely think of, is the transmission. Proper transmission maintenance, while not necessary as frequently as other routine maintenance tasks, is still an important part of increasing your vehicle’s longevity.

Getting power from your Hyundai’s engine to its wheels is the job of the transmission. The gears in the transmission help multiply the torque from the engine to get your vehicle started from a stop, and they reduce the engine speed needed to drive at highway speeds for less noise and fuel consumption. Transmissions come in automatic and manual varieties. Automatic transmissions contain planetary gear sets and hydraulically operated clutches, instead of the foot-pedal clutch found in a manual, to engage the gear that’s needed at any particular time. The hydraulic fluid, and the filter that keeps the fluid clean, are the only parts that need any regular maintenance.

Newer transmissions are sealed to help prevent leaks, and many modern transmissions don’t need any service until 100,000 miles or more. Older transmissions need to have the fluid and filters replaced more frequently. Repairing damage if the transmission isn’t sealed up properly after fluid and/or filter maintenance can get very expensive, so transmission service is a job best handled by your dealer’s service department.


The driver-operated clutch in a manual transmission vehicle consists of a pressure plate that squeezes a friction disk against the engine flywheel. Most newer clutches are operated by a hydraulic cylinder that needs to be kept full of fluid, and the reservoir can be easily checked by anyone and topped off if necessary.
The condition and lifespan of the clutch itself is dependent on how the driver uses it. A driver who doesn’t slip or ride the clutch can have it last 100,000 miles or more. Someone who rides their foot on the clutch pedal can overheat it, causing it to wear out prematurely. Replacing a burned out or worn clutch is a difficult job that should be handled by a dealer. The gearbox also contains a thick lubricating oil to keep heat and noise levels down, and this should be drained and replaced according to the recommended maintenance schedule.

For more information about your transmission, and to keep it performing optimally, stop by or contact us today. Visit www.conicellihyundai.com for to set up an online appointment or click here http://www.conicellihyundai.com/service/schedule-appointment.htm

In an effort to support the victims of Hurricane Sandy, Conicelli Nissan in Conshohocken, Pa. will offer Nissan's employee pricing (VPP A-Plan pricing) and NMAC VPP Special APR to eligible individuals in FEMA-designated disaster areas who need to replace vehicles lost or damaged to the hurricane.

From now through January 2, 2013, qualified customers are eligible for the Nissan employee level Vehicle Purchase Program discount -- which is a fixed discount below dealer invoice based on model -- in addition to NMAC VPP low APR financing, or current factory rebates or other incentive offers.

Conicelli Nissan, in Conshohocken, Pa., is eager to participate in this program from Nissan. By offering both employee pricing and employee financing rates to storm victims, this is one way Conicelli Nissan can help them return to normal.

Warren Lewis, General Sales Manager of Conicelli Nissan, says "We're very pleased that Nissan is being so generous. To do our part, as an enhancement of Nissan's program, we are adding a year of free maintenance to any vehicle bought at Conicelli Nissan through this program."

Customer must provide proof of vehicle ownership. The offer is transferable within the same household. Proof of residency must be provided.

This offer is non-transferable to other family members or friends outside the household.

Limit one new replacement vehicle at the Nissan Employee Level Pricing per claim (i.e., if three vehicles are damaged, three are eligible for replacement).

Which vehicles are eligible?

Eligible new vehicles: All new Nissan models except GT-R and Versa S Trim Sedan. Current incentives for vehicles may be combined with the Nissan employee pricing.

Information about the specific areas affected may be found at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA, (www.fema.gov).

The all-new 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe,
available at Conicelli Hyundai.
"Safety continues to be a top priority at Hyundai, so we are thrilled to see our brand new Santa Fe on this important and prestigious list," said Mike O'Brien, vice president, Corporate and Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America.

2013 Nissan Altima Offers Innovative Technology in a Bold, All-New Design

The completely redesigned 2013 Nissan Altima, available now at Conicelli Nissan in Conshohocken, PA, is more than just new and improved, it's truly evolution on the edge!

Conicelli Nissan's biggest-selling model has taken a leap into the future. When it comes to the innovations and advanced technology behind the ground-up, totally new 2013 Nissan Altima design, some things might be considered evolutionary. Take the body, the engines, transmission, suspension, steering, seats, the instrument panel, navigation system, music connection, armrest, windshield wipers, and tire pressure monitoring system. The previous generation Altima had them. This generation does, too.

Call 1-888-Conicelli to set up your test-drive!
Not a big deal. Until you take a little closer look. Call it evolution on the edge. Or evolution to the extreme. Or simply call it a design that is about to revolutionize what people think about Altima -- and what a mid-size sedan can be.

Consider:
  • A body, that while clearly recognizable as an Altima, is lighter, more rigid and cuts a cleaner path through the wind
  • A 2.5-liter inline 4-cylnder engine that is lighter, stronger, quicker and more fuel-efficient (combined with the new transmission design) than the previous 2.5-liter design
  • A next-generation Xtronic CVT that takes Nissan's two decades of Continuously Variable Transmission leadership into a new dimension of smooth operation and fuel efficiency
  • A new, refined rear multi-link suspension that could be at home on a premium European sports sedan
  • A hybrid power steering system that combines the feel of a traditional hydraulic box with the efficiency of modern electric control
  • Front seats that take their inspiration from outer space technology – for out-of-segment comfort
  • An intuitive 3D-effect information display that's very easy to read
  • Navigation that's never outdated
  • A Pandora music connection
  • Windshield wipers that actually help you avoid tickets
  • And a tire pressure monitoring system that tells you when your tires are full
Of course, when considering an Altima that is "new and improved," you also need to consider the "new and never available before."  For example, an advanced RearView Monitor camera that detects four views is utilized to bring Altima into premium sedan territory with available Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Moving Object Detection (MOD).

Much more information about the 2013 Nissan Altima is available at Conicelli Nissan in Conshohocken, PA. Visit Conicelli Nissan's new 2013 Altima page showcasing all the new features of the Altima. For more information on the 2013 Nissan Altima or any other vehicle in the Nissan lineup, visit the Conicelli Nissan website or call toll-free 1-888-Conicelli (1-888-266-4235).

Conicelli Toyota and the Toyota Hybrid Family

Discover the full family of Hybrid Synergy Drive vehicles, from the original hybrid automaker....

Originally introduced in 2000, the Toyota Prius was the very first electric/gasoline hybrid vehicle to be sold in North America. Practically overnight, the remarkable fuel efficiency and environmentally friendly demeanor of the Prius turned it into a huge sales success, making Toyota the number-one selling brand of hybrid vehicles in America with well over one million sold.

Thanks to the enormous success of the Prius, Toyota has since expanded the lineup of vehicles powered by its legendary Hybrid Synergy Drive system to not only sedans and crossovers, but also to an entire family of Prius vehicles, including a compact city model, a family-friendly wagon and a hyper-efficient Prius Plug-In.

2012 Prius Family Introduction by Mike Shulski

Starting with the original, the 2012 Toyota Prius (MSRP $24,000) has not only captured the hearts and minds of American drivers, it has also captured the accolades of the industry. Named “2012 Best Overall Value” by Intellichoice and “Most Dependable Compact Car” five years in a row by J.D. Power and Associates, and selected as an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) 2012 “Top Safety Pick,” the Prius also has the lowest fuel costs and lowest operating costs in its class according to Intellichoice. The Prius rewards its owners with a remarkable 51 mpg city and 48 mpg highway, making it one of the most fuel-efficient cars in America.

For those who are seeking a Prius with more compact dimensions for crowded urban environments, the 2012 Prius c (MSRP $18,950) is the perfect choice. Boasting all the benefits of Hybrid Synergy Drive, the Prius c features industry-leading fuel efficiency of 53 mpg city and 46 mpg highway. The Prius c also earned an IIHS “2012 Top Safety Pick,” rounding out its appeal as one of the safest, most affordable and most fuel-efficient hybrid vehicles in America.

With the looks and convenience of a stylish five-door wagon, the 2012 Prius v (MSRP $26,550) hits the mark for growing families seeking more cargo space. The “v” in “Prius v” stands for “versatility” – in this case, cargo space on par with most small SUVs, maxing out at 67.3 cubic feet with the rear seats folded flat. Even with the rear seats up, the Prius v still offers 34.3 cubic feet of cargo space. Of course, every other family vehicle falls short of the Prius v in fuel efficiency: 44 mpg city and 40 mpg highway. There’s no other family vehicle on the road today that offers such an ideal blend of fuel efficiency and cargo capacity.

For those who want to be on the bold frontier of next-generation fuel efficiency technology, the 2012 Prius Plug-In (MSRP $32,000) is your ride of choice. Operating for up to 15 miles and going as fast as 60 mph under pure electric power, the Prius Plug-In returns a miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) “fuel economy” rating approaching 100 mpg. Unlike other pure electric vehicles with limited driving range, like the Nissan Leaf, the Prius Plug-In also features a combustion engine for unlimited driving. Even if the Prius Plug-In runs out of battery power, it’s still fueled by the Hybrid Synergy Drive system found in every Toyota hybrid. The Prius Plug-In fully recharges in three hours on 120-volt power and 1.5 hours on 240-volt power, making it the perfect short-distance commuter that can potentially use zero fuel.

In addition to the Prius family of vehicles, Toyota also offers Hybrid Synergy Drive in two other popular models: the Camry sedan and Highlander utility vehicle. Completely redesigned from the ground up, the stylish 2012 Camry Hybrid (MSRP $25,990) is among the safest, most dependable and most fuel efficient family sedans on the road.

Thanks to improvements to the Hybrid Synergy Drive system and aerodynamic enhancements, the 2012 Camry Hybrid is a whopping 26 percent more fuel efficient than the previous generation Camry Hybrid, returning a remarkable 43 mpg city and 39 mpg highway. Unlike competing hybrid sedans that sacrifice interior space to accommodate batteries, the Camry Hybrid has actually gained 2.1 cubic feet of trunk space, for a total of 13.1 cubic feet. A wider body, longer wheelbase and more ergonomic interior panels have also helped the Camry gain head-, leg- and hiproom for greater passenger comfort.

For those seeking the expanded capabilities of a utility vehicle, the 2012 Toyota Highlander Hybrid (MSRP $38,715) delivers the goods – literally and figuratively – with an outstanding combination of fuel efficiency and cargo capacity. Returning 28 mpg in both city and highway driving, the 2012 Highlander Hybrid easily accommodates most every growing family with 94.1 cubic feet of cargo space with rear seats folded flat. Even with a second row of passengers, there’s still a generous 42.3 cubic feet in the cargo area. For those extra large families, the Highlander Hybrid can be equipped with third-row seating. In addition to its outstanding blend of fuel efficiency and roominess, the Highlander Hybrid is among the safest vehicles on the road, earning the prestigious IIHS 2012 “Top Safety Pick.”


If you’re searching for a dependable, safe, stylish hybrid with fuel efficiency among the best of any car on the road, there’s no vehicle brand better than the original – Toyota. Visit our showroom today and we’ll help you figure out which Hybrid Synergy Drive Toyota best fits your needs.

Driving Away The Cold-Conicelli Autoplex

Driving Away the Cold Program was a Great Success


What a great success the "Driving Away The Cold" program was this year for the CARing for Kids Foundations and Conicelli Autoplex.  We donated over 1000 coats to local charities along with over 10,000 coats donated by the CARing for Kids Foundation. Conshohocken:

Carson Valley Children’s Aid- 648 Coats, Bright Hope Baptist Church- 252 coats, Missionary of Charity- 54 coats, Springfield: Frederick Douglass School/World Impact-198 coats.


Conicelli pledged that for every car sold in September at any of our dealerships, we will donate an additional coat. In past years the Conicelli organization has donated approximately 1,000 coats per year and we would like to continue to improve on that number. Conicelli is very excited to be involvement with this great cause for the 5th year in a row.

The Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation will distribute an estimated 30,000 brand-new winter coats this month to area children in need through its fifth annual Driving Away the Cold program. It will host a special day of giving on October 10 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, where 5,750 brand-new winter coats will be distributed to students from approximately 15 elementary schools in the Philadelphia School District.

“In 2011, approximately 80 percent of the students enrolled in the Philadelphia School District were economically disadvantaged,” said Claudia S. Averette, M.Ed., deputy chief of Parent, Family, Community Engagement and Faith-Based Partnerships, School District of Philadelphia. “When the Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation approached us about collaborating on a coat distribution event, we immediately began planning and offering support on the best way to do it. The end result will be thousands of our students arriving to school warmer, healthier and ultimately more ready to learn.

Conshohocken Restaurant Week Preview Party at Cradles to Crayons Giving Factory Last Night

Conshohocken Restaurant Week kicked off last night with a preview party at the Cradles to Crayons Giving Factory on Clipper Road in West Conshohocken.  This event inclused samples of food from featured restaurants, beer from Victory Brewing Company, delightful music, and gift bags from Edwards-Freeman Nut Company.
Michael Hammond Jr. and TJ Smith from Conicelli  brought a Honda Fit filled with children clothing to the sold-out event.  Guests were asked to take a guess of how many articles of clothing were in the Honda Fit. 
The closest guess without going over will receive a $250 Gift Card to go toward dining during Conshohocken Restaurant Week.  This contest will be going on until the end of September.  Feel free to come into Conicelli Honda and take a guess from now until the end of the month!
Two hundred tickets to the preview event were sold at a price of $20 per ticket. The proceeds of the ticket sales, which totaled $4,000, was then donated to Cradles to Crayons.
