Expiring Hybrid Tax Credits for Toyota …#34; What Does It Mean for the Market?
The IRS has announced that people buying Toyota hybrids will no longer be able to claim a tax credit. This raises the issue of expiring tax credits and what it means for the future of hybrid cars.
Hybrid cars are extremely popular and none more so than the Toyota Prius. The popularity arises from a number of sources. They include everything from the fact the cars pollute much less than traditional gas engine autos to the fact the cars get much better mileage and so on. Another major factor is the hefty tax credit a person gets when buying a new hybrid. At least until recently.
The conspiracy theorists are absolutely correct. The government does try to influence our conduct. Unlike the wild conspiracy theories you read about, the technique used is fairly mundane. The government likes to wiggle the carrot of money in front of our collective faces. Smoking is bad, so it piles tax upon tax on the purchase of smokes.
In the case of cars, the process works the other way. Our oil addiction is bad, so the government is trying to motivate us to try hybrid vehicles by giving us a large tax credit for buying a new one. The credit can be up to $4,000, which is a huge amount of money.
This tax credit, however, phases out over time. As a manufacture sells more hybrids, the credit is reduced by the IRS each quarter. The final magic number is 60,000 hybrids. When a manufacture sells this number, it loses the tax credit benefit. This has just happened with Toyota and, as its subsidiary, Lexus.
To be absolutely clear, you decision to purchase a Toyota or Lexus hybrid no longer should involve any consideration of a tax benefit. Why? There isn’t one. Will this fact change your mind when it comes to buying a hybrid or not? Nobody in the auto industry is particularly sure nor do they really care as none of the manufacturers are remotely close to the 60,000 sold figure.
It does, however, raise the issue of what will happen to the hybrid market as more manufacturers lose the tax credit. Will the market die or not? The best we have is an educated guess. Yes, the market will slow down. No, it will not disappear. Why not? A couple of reasons come to mind. First and foremost is the fact people are willing to pay to be green. Given the choice, a large percentage of people will pick an environmentally friendly car. The loss of the tax credit doesn’t change that so long as hybrids are not priced dramatically higher than other cars.
The second issue is more cause and effect. Simply put, oil prices are rising and predicted to continue to do so in the future. This means prices at the pump are going to continue to go up dramatically. Some even suggest we have seen the peak of oil production in the world, which would mean prices are going to go up a huge amount. Regardless, we can all expect to pay more at the pump. Will we still be buying cars that get 25 miles to the galloon or hybrids that get 50? The answer would seem obvious.
We can’t predict the future, but it appears the hybrid vehicle market will survive the loss of the tax credits that currently exist. The real question is whether you and I will survive astronomical gas prices!

Toyota Hybrid Sports Car
Every loyal customer to Toyota and the people behind the company itself are looking forward to 2008. Why? Because that is the slated release for the much-awaited Toyota hybrid sports car dubbed the Volta. Toyota has always been known to set itself apart from all other car manufacturers, releasing some of the most outrageous designs that seem to grow onto society once the cars establish themselves as bestsellers.
Japan Goes Italian
Toyota's hybrid sports car can only be a real head turner. This is what's expected when you have an elite group of designers to give the new concept car a new, nice Italian twist. Pictures of the concept car have emerged from the company itself and the first thing that may come to mind is the Lamborghini Diablo; only the Volta is eco-friendly.
Toyota believes that hybrid technology can also be used in high-performance vehicles such as the Toyota Volta. After all, it is rumored to go from 0-60 in 4 seconds and has a top speed of 155 mph; not as fast as the Diablo or any Ferrari but the important thing is how much gas this vehicle doesn't use.
The Name Game
The 2008 new Toyota Volta will be paying homage to Alessandro Volta, the man who came up with the electric battery in 1800. It is only very apt considering that this vehicle does run on a type of battery. The Volta runs a V6 engine and there's an electric motor on each axle.
The electric motor will be used to operate several things at the same time such as, for example, a computer that operates the movement of the wheels, activation of brakes, etc.; basically something known as drive by wire, a technology that is fitted into modern fighter jets, so you can imagine how much time in design was spent on this near-future release. This technology also allows for an awkward feature that can have the passengers reposition the steering wheel and pedals in front of them.
Economy
Two centuries after the invention of the electric battery after which the new hybrid is named, Toyota aims to have the Volta out and running by 2008. It is expected to have a tank that holds only 13.7 gallons that will allow it to go 435 miles when filled up. Plus, if 408 horsepower isn't enough, you will just have to weight for later versions of the Volta because this is the top speed estimated for the initial release.
Toyota France expects to release this to the European market in 2008. However, Germany might be happy to know that the car will be for sale there by December of 2007. Experts are speculating that prices for the Toyota hybrid sports car will range from $72,000 to $165,000 in the US market once it hits North American shores.
Whether or not the market is ready for this sports car, Toyota itself is ready to prove that hybrid technology does belong in the automobile industry and will suit any purpose and application.

Toyota joins NY Marathon Fuse
A runner will not probably want to encounter a car, but Toyota hood protectors maker, Toyota, targets to have close encounters with thousands of runners in two marathons that will take place on the streets of New York.
In order to become an exclusive auto sponsor at both the ING New York City Marathon and the NYC Half Marathon presented by Nike, the giant Japanese automaker has signed a three-year deal. Financial terms were closed and the company will feature its hybrid platform, including the Prius, Highlander SUV and Camry Hybrid, through regional TV and print, on- and off-course signage as well as operational usage such as transporting athletes and officials. Aside form a money prize, both the men's and women's winner at the ING New York City Marathon will receive a Prius.
The alliance will activate in support of the NYC Half Marathon presented by Nike which will take place on August 5. The ING New York City Marathon will be happen on Nov. 4, and the previous car sponsor was DaimlerChrysler's Smart micro compact in 2005.
Bryan Riss, Toyota's vehicle operations manager for New York region said that Prius is their glamorous hybrid and it gets the most attention from the Hollywood crowd but they want to support their whole hybrid line. He added that Toyota's long-term plan is to have a hybrid for each model the company builds, and that this alliance will help make more consumers aware of their hybrids. Also sponsoring the New York Marathon is Avis and said it would include Prius as a car rental option starting this summer.
Ann Hinegardner, svp-business development and marketing strategies at New York Road Runners, which monitors both marathons and several other running events year-round, said that the car category is very important to the marathon, and signing Toyota is in line with their commitment to the environment as well as to health. According to her, Toyota plans a full activation now through November.
Tour's Third Time
The AST Dew Tour will have several new strategies in place as it enters its third season this week: Louisville, Denver and San Jose have been replaced by Baltimore, Salt Lake City and Cleveland as tour stops; MTV has been added to the media mix; and the tour name itself has changed from the Dew Action Sports Tour but Pepsi's Mountain Dew remains title sponsor and all lead sponsors at the five venues are back.
The schedule began with the Panasonic Open in Baltimore in June 21-24 and runs through the PlayStation Pro in Orlando on October 18 to 21 featuring top action sports athletes in BMX, motocross and skateboarding contesting for points and monetary prizes.
Wade Martin, president and general manager at the AST Dew Tour, Aurora, Ill, said that this was the first part of their strategy to build AST [Action Sports Tour] as an umbrella brand that will be comprised with other events. He added that they want AST to become what NASCAR is to its fans and consumers. Martin further said that AST has plans include a U.S. winter action sports tour and global events.
Outlets such as NBC and USA Network (event coverage), Fuel TV (previews and reviews), FSN radio, VOD in a potential of 30 million homes and iTunes will be the avenues through which the tour will reach people. Two behind-the-scenes shows and features prior to each tour event are new this year on MTV and MTV2. Attendance last was about 250,000, which is up 15,000 from the inaugural tour. The AST Dew Tour is owned by NBC Universal and Live Nation.
Martin said that the challenge in their 3rd year will be the same challenge in their 10th year that is getting more people to attend in person, watch or access the events and support their sponsors. The Right Guard Open (Cleveland, July 19-22), Vans Invitational (Portland, Ore., Aug. 16-19) and the Toyota Challenge (Salt Lake City, Sept. 20-23) are other tour stops.
