New Toyota and Scion Dealership to Feature Cutting-Edge Amenities
Miracle Toyota & Scion will Serve the Orlando, Lakeland and Winter Haven Area
Winter Haven, Fla. - After a decade of owning and operating Toyota of Winter Haven, Murphy Automotive Group has begun construction on a 60,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art dealership to be named Miracle Toyota & Scion, 37048 US Highway 27 in Haines City. The new site, set to open in January 2014, will be nearly triple in size and offer customers amenities like the Scion Man-Cave, a nature walk and cafeteria.
Environmental sustainability is a primary focus in the design of the new facility, which is being constructed using regional and recycled materials. Upon completion it will feature LED lighting, energy-efficient HVAC system and low-flow fixtures. In addition, two rainwater cisterns will be installed, which not only reduce the dealership's water usage, but can also be made available to the fire department for emergencies.
When the new redesigned store opens, Toyota of Winter Haven will be converted to a used car super center. Murphy Automotive Group strategically planned the move to Miracle Toyota & Scion in order to provide a greater number of new and used vehicles to choose from and expand its service center to better support its customers. The Scion Man-Cave will be a cozy nook where customers of all genders can relax on leather couches, enjoy flat-screen TVs or have their choice of video and board games. For those who prefer to remain active, there will be a nature walk surrounding the dealership showcasing native plants.
"We strive to be an environmentally responsible member of this community, and provide added value as a neighborhood business partner," said Mike Murphy, owner of Murphy Automotive Group. "Most importantly, we value our customers and want to provide a pleasant and enjoyable experience for them when they visit us for service or to purchase a new car. The goal is to create a space that makes our visitors want to return."
As value-added services for customers, Miracle Toyota & Scion will provide solar charging stations for electric vehicles, clinics for new car owners and a car wash. Dealership associates will also have access to an onsite exercise facility.
Murphy Automotive Group has been family owned and operated for more than 30 years. Currently, it runs three new- and used-car dealerships, two in Albany, Ga. and one in Winter Haven, Fla.March 20, 2013

ALL-NEW, 43 MPG 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID NOW AVAILABLE AT TOYOTA OF WINTER HAVEN IN WINTER HAVEN, FLORIDA
New Camry Hybrid Offers Class-Leading Fuel Economy, Advanced Safety Features, Entune™ Multimedia System
Now on sale at Toyota of Winter Haven, the all-new 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid achieves an EPA-estimated 43 mpg city/39 mpg highway/41 mpg combined. With a 7.6-second zero-to-60 mph acceleration time, the new Camry Hybrid also meets AT-PZEV (Advanced Technology Partial-credit Zero Emissions Vehicle) standards.
"The highly anticipated arrival of the 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid at Toyota of Winter Haven follows on the successful introduction of the gasoline engine model and gives our customers greater choice in finding the vehicle that's right for them," said Matt Daly, Internet Manager of Toyota of Winter Haven. "The new Camry Hybrid delivers advanced technology, sophisticated styling and an engaging driving experience."
The all-new Camry Hybrid debuts a highly revised version of Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive powertrain, including a new 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. The system produces a combined 200 horsepower and varies power between the gas engine and electric motor, or combines both, as needed. An EV Drive mode allows the driver to operate the car on the electric motor alone for up to 1.6 miles at lower speeds (below approximately 25 mph).
Air conditioning and power steering systems are driven electrically. A more compact battery and relocation of the DC/DC converter yields an additional 2.1 cubic feet in the luggage compartment compared to the previous-generation Camry Hybrid.
America's best-selling car for nine years running and 13 of the past 14 years, the 2012 Camry is one of the first Toyota vehicles to offer the new Entune multimedia system, which leverages the user's smartphone to provide access to navigation, entertainment and information services. Toyota Entune also brings the largest selection of music options available to the vehicle, including iHeartRadio and Pandora. Available HD Radio and SiriusXM Satellite Radio™ add to the music choices, while a USB port, iPod connectivity and Bluetooth® wireless connection are standard on all new Camry models.
The new Camry provides exceptional handling and ride quality due to a more rigid body structure, revised front suspension, redesigned rear suspension and aerodynamics. Inside, engineers reduced wind and road noise, and focused on suppressing noises near the frequencies of human speech to create an environment that is more comfortable for conversation.
Small touches help to increase the feeling of spaciousness inside the new Camry's passenger cabin, while improving forward sightlines. All 2012 Camry models are equipped with 10 standard airbags.
A new, available Blind Spot Monitor detects a vehicle in the adjacent lane when the turn signal is on, signaling the driver using indicators in the side mirrors. The new Camry, like all Toyota models, features Toyota's Star Safety System™, which includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist. It also features the Smart Stop Technology brake-override system.
Even with new features and refinement, better mileage and a bigger trunk in the 2012 Camry Hybrid, prices are lower than 2011 models.
Toyota's 36-month/36,000 mile basic new-vehicle warranty applies to all components other than normal wear and maintenance items. Additional 60-month warranties cover the powertrain for 60,000 miles and against corrosion with no mileage limitation. The hybrid-related components, including the HV battery, battery control module, hybrid control module and inverter with converter, are covered for eight years/100,000 miles.
The Camry Hybrid will also come standard with Toyota Care, a complimentary plan covering normal factory-scheduled maintenance and 24-hour roadside assistance for two years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first.

ALL-NEW, REINVENTED 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY NOW AVAILABLE AT TOYOTA OF WINTER HAVEN IN WINTER HAVEN, FLORIDA
New Camry Offers Improved Fuel Economy, Advanced Safety Features, Entune™ Multimedia System
Now on sale at Toyota of Winter Haven, the all-new 2012 Toyota Camry debuts with bold, sophisticated styling, a more spacious interior, improved driving dynamics and class leading safety. The Toyota Camry has been America's best-selling car for nine years running and 13 of the past 14 years.
"Our customers at Toyota of Winter Haven have heard so much about the exciting new 2012 Toyota Camry and have been looking forward to seeing and driving the vehicle for themselves," said Matt Daly, Internet Manager of Toyota of Winter Haven. "The new Camry brings it all together with improved fuel economy, comfort, reliability and advanced technology."
The 2012 Camry is one of the first Toyota vehicles to offer the new Entune system, which leverages the user's smartphone to provide access to navigation, entertainment and information services. Toyota Entune also brings the largest selection of music options available to the vehicle, including iHeartRadio and Pandora. Available HD Radio and SiriusXM Satellite Radio™ add to the music choices, while a USB port, iPod connectivity and Bluetooth® wireless connection are standard on all new Camry models.
In spite of all the new features and refinement in the 2012 Camry, prices on all models are lower than comparable 2011 models, offering consumers a tremendous value. Fuel economy is also improved on both 2.5-liter four-cylinder and 3.5-liter V6 engines.
The new Camry provides exceptional handling and ride quality due to a more rigid body structure, revised front suspension, redesigned rear suspension and aerodynamics. Inside, engineers reduced wind and road noise, and focused on suppressing noises near the frequencies of human speech to create an environment that is more comfortable for conversation.

On August 15, 2011, the Winter Haven Police Athletic League (PAL) was presented a $5,000 check from Toyota of Winter Haven's for the Ideas for Good campaign.

Toyota of Winter Haven donates $1,000 to the disaster relief efforts in Japan
3/29/11
Just over two weeks ago, Japan was struck by one of the most devastating natural disasters in its history. Although relief efforts are underway, it will take considerable time for the people of Japan to recover. Because of supporters like you, international organizations including the American Red Cross are able to provide shelter, emergency services and humanitarian aid to the victims of this tragedy.
Since we announced our campaign, associates donated $115,234 to the Red Cross. Our SET dealers also stepped up and gave $237,800. In addition to matching associates' giving, JM Family had originally planned to donate $250,000. In total, that would represent $718,268 toward the earthquake and tsunami relief efforts. However, we have decided to increase JM Family's corporate gift and will make a collective donation of $750,000 to help provide the resources that are so desperately needed.
Thank you for coming together to generously support our Toyota partners and the Japanese people as they face the enormous challenge of rebuilding their communities.
"We Do It Better!"
