The All New 2013 Ford Fusion… “The Rose that Grew from Concrete”

November 19th, 2012 by Christen

The All New 2013 Ford Fusion has been given a new spotlight on the road as the star in the new “The Rose that Grew from Concrete” ad campaign.  Unveiled today, “A Rose” …inspired by Tupac Shakur’s, “The Rose that Grew from Concrete.” campaign features the stunning midsize sedan that offers a distinct style and functional design that Ford lovers has learned to love.

 

The campaign, called “A Rose,” debuts today and includes a TV advertisement in which consumers witness members of a Ford product team creating a breakthrough product by chiseling a large block of concrete into the all-new midsize sedan. The ad, which features Andre Royo from HBO’s “The Wire,” includes a voiceover reciting the late Tupac Shakur’s poem, “The Rose That Grew from Concrete.” “The all-new Ford Fusion is such a breakthrough vehicle for Ford,” said Shawn Thompson, Ford manager, Multicultural Marketing. “The late Tupac Shakur’s poem, “The Rose That Grew from Concrete,” is the perfect description for the way the new Fusion’s design came to be. As it’s described in the words of the poem, the Fusion is a clear testimony of what we can do if we keep our dreams.

“This campaign breaks completely away from anything we’ve done in the past to introduce consumers to a new vehicle utilizing a poem by one of hip hop’s most celebrated artists,” Thompson added. “This campaign, like the poem, has an inspiring message at its core.”

 


The fully integrated campaign also includes radio and print ads in addition to a digital execution featuring a series of Web videos that will live on www.ford.com/brandnew. The videos feature interviews with some of the team members behind the design of the all-new vehicle. The Web videos can be found on the Ford Fusion YouTube channel and Ford Fusion Facebook page beginning today.  The question is, will we see a new Tupac hologram sighting at Ford dealership near you?  Check out the new commercial spot and let us know what you think below…

Diva Does NASCAR… A Toyota Racing Experience (#ToyotaWomen)

This Camry has the speed I need! Can someone say Divas Drive In Heels!

There comes a time, when after trying something new you’re rewarded with an uncontrollable surge of electricity and unexpected feeling of pride – and for me, this weekend’s NASCAR experience was IT! It’s no secret that I’m a fan of fast cars (I’m from the Motor City…duh!) however, being immersed in hundreds of technically-supercharged cars and learning about the business and community that makes NASCAR then multi-billion industry that it is. Over the weekend, I was an invited guest of the Toyota Racing Team to for a weekend of NASCAR fun during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in Charlotte, NC.

 

The fabulous lades, also know as Toyota Women!

Vroom, Vroom! Toyota Racing Style!

 

Kicking off this fast-paced Toyota Racing experience included fun in the sun at Joe Gibbs Racing Shop for a NASCAR fan fest! At Joe Gibbs Racing, fans got to interact with several of NASCAR driving superstars including Kyle Busch and Joey Logano – and we got to pick the brain of the man himself – Coach Joe Gibbs.During an intimate Q&A session, we were introduced to several unique members of the Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota Racing Team. Bryan ‘Boris’ Cook shared the highs and lows as a NASCAR Digital Marketing Manager, while Maggie Martin discussed the ins and outs of being a Sponsor Services Account Manager for Dollar General (the title sponsor behind Friday’s Nationwide series race). Breaking one of the many myths of NASCAR (you know, the one that says African Americans aren’t into NASCAR racing) – Toyota Racing’s Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr. explained his start and love of racing. As the first African American driver to earn a pole in the NASCAR Nationwide Series – just two weeks ago, he has a lot to celebrate (in addition to is 19th birthday just last week.)

Upon arrival to the Charlotte Motor Speedway Friday night, luxury accommodations quickly followed as I was ushered to the Toyota Racing Suite to enjoy the Dollar General 300 / Nationwide Series Race and dinner in grand style.

Time to watch those Toyota boys win this race!

Fraternizing With The Enemy:  Oakley NASCAR Driver Jason Bowles

 

As the start of the race begun, even from the comfort of the Toyota suite I  heard the roaring of these monster engines as each car rounded lap by lap.  By the time the drivers were 180 laps into the race, it was clear that a Toyota Racing driver could pull off the win!  With just 5 laps to go, Toyota Women guests were escorted down toward the racetrack and inside the winner’s circle to join the rest of the Toyota Racing team in celebration of the Toyota Racing WIN –  front and center with none other than Joey Logano!  We took photos with Joey and the team, I even got to ask M ZMAX about her racing jumpsuit (I’ve got a costume idea in mind…LOL)  ALL in all, there’s no other words that could describe my first NASCAR experience other than amazing, surprising and absolutely spectacular.  Talk about a great day for a Diva To Do NASCAR for the first time.

Yes, I photobombed (kinda sorta – but not really) Joey Logano during his Winner’s Circle interview!

Mission Impossible: SoCal #ToyotaWomen Experience (Day 2)

October 8th, 2012 by Christen

What happens when you stick a city girl deep in the canyons of Southern California on a camping trip?  Well, when Toyota offers you a unique “glamping” experience in the heart of Southern California, you can expect an unforgettable experience of outdoor fun & camping memories, no matter what!  (In case you missed it & you’re wondering about what happened on Mission Impossible: SoCal #ToyotaWomen Experience (Day 1) CLICK HERE.)

 

Glamping: Shorthand for glamorous camping; luxury camping.

 

 20121008-162552.jpg

 

As we began Day 2 of our #ToyotaWomen Experience, many of us had an idea of what a “glamping” experience would entail but had no clue or prior camping experience at the el Capitan Canyon Resort specifically. Luckily, that didn’t even matter, because the el Capitan Canyon Resort absolutely did not disappoint.

 

From the outside, the log cabin decor gave the ambiance of lumberjack fun – however, the decor within each cabin was far from forrest-like. In fact, my luxe bathroom came complete with a bubblers dreamy 3ft deep bathtub bubble bath, huge vanity mirror and a beautiful panoramic view of the surrounding campgrounds and forrest. During the day, the campgrounds were filled with hummingbirds floating around with glee, curious deer poking around from behind trees and knucklehead woodpeckers (one in particular was so intent on breaking through my bathroom window, that he may have suffered a self-inflicted concussion and knocked his self out cold…LOL)

 

20121008-161901.jpg

There was no terror in this cabin in the woods…

 

In true “glamping” fashion, I decided on pairing a little extreme camping fun with some well needed relaxation. With a variety of options available, which included hiking, biking and more I decided on something a little out of the ordinary for this diva…

 

I took a paddle, a kayak and went for a dip in the Pacific Ocean…

 

 

…Alone

… And I can’t swim!

 

20121008-162304.jpg

Ready to take my kayak into the deep Pacific Ocean!

 

Talk about extreme! LOL! Lucky for me, the great guys at Santa Barbra Adventure Company were excellent teachers, guides and made me feel comfortable while kayaking up and down the Pacific coast! In between exhausting strokes, I spotted schools of fish, pelicans hunting for prey & even a few sea lions. During the kayaking excursion, I’m happy to say that I held my own while paddling up and down the 1 1/2 mile stretch of pure Pacific Ocean goodness.

 

20121008-162217.jpg

To reward my body after the extreme “glamping” adventure, I had to chance to wind down with a relaxing 60-minute deep tissue spa massage, followed by a moment to relax at the pool and enjoy dinner and a bonfire at the el Capitan Canyon Resort. It’s amazing, how a camping experience (no matter at what age) can teach a person so much about themselves and others. There’s no way I would’ve ever considered kayaking in the Pacific Ocean or would’ve made such great friendships with amazing women from across the country, if it hadn’t have been for Toyota and this SoCal #ToyotaWomen experience.

 

If introducing this Diva to a great automotive brand while broadening horizons with unforgettable experiences was the goal of the Toyota Women’s Influencer Network program, then I’m proud to say MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Divas Drive In Heels: Fall Car Care Tips That’ll Save You Money

October 2nd, 2012 by Christen

Did you know that October is National Fall Car Care Month?  It’s true, and however you slice it – summer has long gone along with the days of cross-country road trips and the crisp weather of autumn has ushered in only a few months of automotive preparation before the old man winter comes knocking on your windshield.  Check out a few auto tips that’ll help save you time, save you from preventative car repairs and save your holiday spending budget below…

 

Lighten up that keychain — or it could cost you some serious car repairs

 

Lighten up your key chain

Does your car key share a chain with a dozen or more other keys? That’s a pretty heavy load hanging off the car key when it’s in the ignition.The weight, combined with bouncing while you drive, can wear out the tumblers inside the ignition and eventually lead to ignition switch failure.To add years of service to your ignition switch, purchase a lightweight key chain that allows you to separate your ignition key from the others. Drive with only the ignition key in your ignition. If your ignition key “sticks” when you try to turn on the car, it’s a warning that your ignition switch is about to fail. Replace it before you get stranded.

 

Don’t fill up if you see the tanker

If you happen to see a gasoline tanker filling the tanks at your local gas station, come back another day or go to a different station. As the station’s underground tanks are being filled, the turbulence can stir up sediment. Sediment in your gas can clog fuel filters and fuel injectors, causing poor performance and possibly necessitating repairs.

 

Place a towel under baby seats

All manner of food bits and liquids can accumulate under a baby seat, where they can permanently stain the upholstery. Place a sheet of heavy plastic and an absorbent towel under the seat to prevent damage, and re-secure the seat according to the manufacturer’s directions.

 

 

Tape saves light covers

A cracked taillight or turn-signal cover, if left alone, may allow your light compartment to fill with water and cause some real damage. A good short-term fix is to tape over the crack. Use the red or orange tape that’s made for this purpose.You can purchase it at many automotive parts stores.

 

 

Beware the wet thumb

If you top off your tires at a service station, check to see if there’s moisture coming from the air pump. Simply depress the pin inside the inflator valve with your thumbnail. If your thumb gets wet, advise the station manager that his tanks need to be drained and go to a different station. Moisture, trapped inside a tire, can cause pressure variations and corrode rims.

Four bloggers with four different perspectives, ready to take on the road in the 2012 Toyota Camry

 

What happens when you wrangle a diverse group of bloggers from across the country for a unique Toyota drive? Things, stop getting polite and start getting real…

20121002-020912.jpg

Toyota Women – Leila, Lizz, Chelsea and Christen at the beach…

On Monday, a special group of bloggers were given a mission – a mission to prove how the 2012 Toyota Camry could stand up to an end-of-summer, all-girls road trip up the California coast. Lizz (AmIAFunnyGirl.com), Leila (DontSpeakWhinese.com), Chelsea (ThePaperMama.com) and I, set off on an adventure heading north on Highway 1 from Santa Monica to Santa Barbara, California. Not only did the Camry withstand four statuesque bloggers with big personalities within it’s plush leather-trimmed, ultra-suede seats but it also engulfed the massive luggage trail of 4 suitcases, 5 backpacks, a pail and shovel within the spacious 15.4 cubic ft trunk. Camry is more luxurious,with a redesigned interior.It’s more advanced,with new available multimedia systems with EntuneTM. And the Camry Hybrid LE now offers an EPA-estimated 43 city mpg rating – which means getting the most out of your gas no matter where your inner city road trips may lead you.

 

20121002-021012.jpg

Stopped seaside for a few quick surfing lessons…

 

While on the road, we discovered a few oceanside sights as well as stopped by a local Super Mega Target to shop & purchase donations for the Santa Barbra Food Bank. Toyota partnered with Target to supply each of us with $25 gift cards to make the donation purchases, and Target accommodated each one of us with an additional $10 in credit towards the purchase of additional food/personal items to donate. Our #ToyotaWomen mission garnered close to $1,000 worth of donations for those in need in Santa Barbra at the Santa Barbra Food Bank.

 

20121002-021157.jpg

The Toyota/Target partnership donated close to $1,000 in food and items to the Santa Barbra Food Bank.

Upon arrival to Santa Barbra, we had intimate vineyard tour, wine tasting & dinner at the  Sanford Winery in Rancho La Rinconada. Renowned for its Chardonnay as well as Pinot Noir – Sanford Winery is a sacred jewell that has helped put Santa Barbara and the Santa Rita Hills on the map of the world’s great wine regions.

Toyota women enjoyed a beautiful sunset and dinner at Sanford Winery

 

Upon conclusion of dinner, we settled into a unique retreat of “Glamping” (Glam + Camping) at the el Capitan Canyon Resort just 20 miles north of Santa Barbara off the Pacific coast. Armed with the challenge of enjoying the glory of nature in a Southern California environment, we wondered if we could experience the natural beauty of the environment in a camp-like surrounding with all the luxury comforts of SoCal we have come to enjoy and expect?

AT&T “Texting & Driving: It Can Wait” To Battle The 100 Most Deadliest Days Of The Year

May 15th, 2012 by Christen

Txting & Driving... It Can Wait

Take out your wireless device. Read the last text message you sent or received aloud. Would reading or responding to that text message from behind the wheel be worth the risk of getting into a car accident or worse? The reality is that no message is so urgent that it is worth diverting attention from the wheel and risking lives in the process.

In the survey 1,200 teens revealed that while 97 percent of them know texting while driving is dangerous…

  •          43 percent admit to sending a text while driving
  •          75 percent say the practice is common among their friends
  •          77 percent of say adults warn against risks, but text & drive ‘all the time’  

In today’s digital age, teens and adults alike are staying connected by texting. For many, the allure of quickly reading and responding while driving can be tempting. According to the AT&T Teen Driver Survey, almost 90 percent of teens expect a reply to a text or email within five minutes or less. This becomes dangerous when the habit hits the road because drivers that text while driving are 23 times more likely to be in a crash according to the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute.

 

Will you reconsider texting and driving from now on?  Would you stop others from texting while driving?  Sound off below…

Divas Drive In Heels: 2014 Chevy Impala Invades NYIAS (First Look)

April 4th, 2012 by Tech Staff

At the 2012 New York International Auto Show Chevrolet has unveiled the new 2014 Chevrolet Impala. Far from the Impalas of yesteryear, the 2014 Chevy Impala runs in the lines of luxury sedans unlike any of it’s predecessors before.

 

 

 

In relation to the idea of luxury, the new sedan competes with the likes of the Ford Taurus, Chrysler 300 not BMW 3 series or Mercedes Benz C-class vehicles. However, the suggestive lines and luxe interior definitely relates an upgraded and classier sedan than any of it’s earlier designs. (Don’t expect to see State Troopers or undercover cops in these Impalas either…LOL)

 

Outside: Much of the Impala’s front fascia has been cribbed from the Camaro — the hood is low and long, the front lights are slim and stylishly svelt.
Interior: The five-seat Impala adopts a version of Chevrolet’s now-familiar dual-cockpit dashboard, which is used in the Malibu and Cruze. The backseat head restraints fold for improved rear visibility, but trunk capacity, while very large at 18.8 cubic feet, falls behind the Taurus’ 20.1-cubic-foot figure.

 

Engines: 2014 Impala comes with three engine choices, including the carryover 3.6-liter V6 and a 182-horsepower Ecotec 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with the eAssist hybrid system. According to the automaker, Impalas with eAssist are expected to achieve 35 mpg on the highway. All are paired with six-speed automatic transmissions.
“When I first saw this vehicle in the design studio – probably about 16 months ago – I could not wait for today to come,” said Chris Perry, vice president of global Chevrolet marketing, during a media event last month in Detroit.  This new vehicle reestablishes Impala as the flagship passenger car in the Chevrolet lineup.”
Check out the first looks of the new Chevy Impala below…

 

Drive With Confidence, No Matter What Car You Drive…

December 5th, 2011 by Christen

 

Have you ever found yourself lost, searching for directions or even worse, fumbling with your smartphone while driving? Did you know that you could bring the intelligent navigation of OnStar to the vehicle you’re driving right now? OnStar FMV (For My Vehicle) is a unique product that brings the safety, security and convenience of OnStar to millions of vehicles already on the road. This is the first time OnStar’s popular “blue button” service – with more than six million current customers – is available as a retail purchase rather than factory installed in a new vehicle. I’m sure you’ve seen and heard OnStar commercials and thought that they were only available in GM manufactured vehicles…Think again. OnStar FMV is a standalone rearview mirror, replacing a vehicle’s existing rearview mirror, offering the core features of factory installed OnStar, including:

  • Automatic Crash Response
  • Turn By Turn Navigation
  • Hands Free Calling
  • Stolen Vehicle Location Assistance
  • Emergency Service
  • Roadside Assistance ….and more!

 

 

20111204-235734.jpg

Using OnStar FMV

My test vehicle was a Toyota Camry with the OnStar FMV rearview mirror already installed. I could barely even notice that the mirror was an aftermarket addition – as the installation was neat and clean. I have to admit it was as good as having the original OnStar system that comes installed in GM vehicles. With the push of the blue OnStar button, I was able to get directions to nearest gas station, shopping center and more. The OnStar service rep on the other end was very courteous and extremely helpful in a bind….(like when you’re cruising on “E” and have no idea where to find the closest gas station…)

20111204-235836.jpg

Even in an emergency situation, OnStar shines through! Many consumers have shared their stories online on how OnStar has helped in the survival of tornados and even in the midst of cellular disaster (When Marsha’s cellphone wouldn’t work – OnStar’s did.) Luckily, I did not have to test out the crash response, emergency response or stolen vehicle location assistance – so you’ll just have to take my word that it works (that is, if you need it.)

Pricing and Installation

OnStar FMV is currently available for purchase nationally at Best Buy and Fry’s Electronics stores, as well as a number of other retailers that are listed on OnStar.com. For a limited time only, the OnStar FMV unit is currently on sale for $199, (just expect to pay out of pocket installation costs of about $50-$100.) Monthly pricing for OnStar service runs from $18.95 (for the Safe & Sound emergency and security plan) to $28.90 (for the Directions & Connections plan, which includes all the Safe & Sound features, plus unlimited turn-by-turn navigation services).

Divas Drive In Heels: Got Klout? It Could Land You A Sweet Ride…

November 10th, 2011 by Christen

As an avid Klout user (and advocate) you could only imagine my excitement when I recently recieved a Klout Perk for a Windows phone – just for my technology influence online.  Yesterday, I tweeted photos and gushed on how happy I was to recieve a new tech toy when I was bumrushed with questions from people that still didn’t know what Klout is (don’t worry – we’ll tackle that issue momentarily.)  As I explained, via text messages, twitter responses and facebook chats exactly what Klout entails and how everyone can benefit in their own way via Klout perks – the idea became clear “Everyone needs to sign up for Klout!”  It doesn’t matter if you’re influential about food, shopping, technology – whatever – “There’s a perk for that…” (<— this should totally become Klout’s new tagline…)

Case in point, Klout’s newest perk which is brought to you by Chevy.  Building on the success of a Klout campaign with the Chevy Volt in Chicago, Chevy is again partnering with Klout, this time to implement the first national automotive Klout Perk to date.  The promotion, which begins Nov. 9, enables qualifying Klout users in Chicago, San Francisco, New York, Atlanta and Dallas to sign up via the Klout Perks Program to drive the all-new Sonic. Each Perk is a three-day vehicle loan granted between Nov. 11 and Dec. 14.

“We are aiming the Sonic squarely at consumers who are part of the Millennial generation,” said Carolin Probst-lyer, manager of digital consumer engagement, Chevrolet. “Partnering with Klout allows us to reach this audience, encourage them to get behind the wheel of a Sonic and use social media to share their driving experiences.”

Chevy Sonic:  

The all-new 2012 Chevy Sonic was built to be fun to drive, but it is also the first and only car in its class with 10 standard air bags – receiving a 2011 Top Safety Pick designation by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Sonic is designed to command attention with its sleek, aggressive appearance, lots of available options for connectivity and personalization, as well as impressive rear-seat roominess. Built in Michigan, the Chevy Sonic is the only subcompact built in the United States. Check out the Chevy Sonic on Facebook and see if your eliigble for your Chevy Sonic Klout Perk HERE.

What Is Klout:  

Klout measures influence online. When you create content or engage, you impact others. Klout analyzes that impact to find your Klout Score, influential topics, and your influencers. Klout is the standard for influence. Top brands such as Disney, Chevrolet and Turner use Klout Perks to reach and engage influencers. Over 3,000 applications and partners use Klout data to display Klout Scores, prioritized based on Score or topics, and segment users. Klout members receive Perks because they are influential and have authority on topics related to the product. For more information, visit http://klout.com/corp/about.
