Remember when the Toyota Prius first came out? Its funky design was an edgy way for early adopters to shout to the world “I’m green and damn proud of it!” Many of those early adopters were singletons and couples since the Prius had a good-sized cargo space but wasn’t up to daily family hauling. Toyota has started to remedy this problem with the introduction of the 2012 Toyota Prius V, the second of four planned Prius family members. The Prius V is the most family-friendly of the bunch. It has 58 percent more cargo space than the Prius and was designed specially to fit bulk paper products from warehouse stores in the cargo space.

GM recalls pickup trucks due to wiper defect

via onlineautobrochure

General Motors Co is recalling more than 4,500 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks because nuts in the windshield wipers may not have been sufficiently tightened.

If a nut in the wiper’s motor crank arm were too loose, the wiper might not work if there were a build-up of snow or ice. The nut could also loosen if the wiper were operated on a dry windshield.

At a certain point, the nut could be loose enough for the wipers to stop working.

GM said the trucks, which are for the model year 2011, were built from late September to early November of last year.
