True Marksmanship: Fred’s take on the month at Classic Toyota

Mar 21, 2013

Hello everyone! Fred Marks here continuing my monthly blog series dedicated to the latest news from Toyota. This month, I’d like to report on some recent awards that make me especially proud. Two Toyota vehicles recently made the U.S. News & World Report list of 2013’s Best Cars for Families awards: the Toyota Prius for Best Hatchback for Families and 2013 Highlander Hybrid for Best Hybrid SUV for Families. While I am thrilled that our nameplate has been recognized, I am most proud of the ongoing commitment to safe, comfortable and efficient family driving that these awards indicate.

The recipients of this award were selected based on quality, space, reliability, seating capacity and cargo space, among other criteria deemed relevant to the driving needs of a family. With that in mind, I’d like to give a brief overview of the two award-winners bearing the Toyota name.
