Held on February 16th, 2025 at Gore Mountain in North Creek, NY! This past weekend, our Auto Group team came together for an unforgettable day on the slopes at Gore Mountain for our 5th Annual Ski Trip! This annual tradition has become a highly anticipated event, giving employees the chance to embrace the winter season, connect with coworkers, and enjoy a well-deserved day of fun and adventure. From seasoned skiers to first-timers, everyone had a blast exploring the mountain’s diverse trails, soaking in the breathtaking views, and experiencing the thrill of the downhill runs. The crisp mountain air and fresh powder made for perfect skiing and snowboarding conditions, ensuring a fantastic experience for all. To keep everyone fueled for the day, we provided a complimentary lunch at the Tannery Bar and Restaurant, where employees got to warm up, enjoy a delicious meal, and share stories from the slopes. It was the perfect opportunity to relax, recharge, and bond with colleagues in a casual and scenic setting. This event continues to be a wonderful way to bring our Auto Group team together outside of the workplace, strengthening our connections and building lasting memories. Whether carving through fresh powder or simply enjoying the mountain atmosphere, everyone left with smiles on their faces and excitement for next year’s trip. A huge thank you to all who participated and helped make this event such a success. We look forward to keeping this tradition alive and can’t wait to hit the slopes again next year! See you on the mountain in 2026!

50 years is a long time for any product to remain on the market, but for the Toyota Corolla, it seems like no time at all. In its half-century in the auto market, 43 million Toyota Corollas have rolled off the factory line and onto the roads, and its still going strong to this day. Now, you might wonder how the Toyota Corolla has such phenomenal staying power. The answer, of course, is innovation. Toyota has never been complacent with its design of the Corolla, and even in its 50th year, Toyota continues to add new styling, more refined interior appointments, and advanced safety technologies to meet the needs and wants of its customers. Now, the current Corolla model is no doubt a full-featured and attractive vehicle, but that hasn't stopped Toyota from further fleshing out its offerings, making more features that would be optional on competitor models standard. Stylistically, the new Toyota Corolla boasts sharper lines and a more aggressive silhouette. Additionally, a Toyota is also releasing a Corolla 50th Special Anniversary Edition with unique color options, a moon roof, smart key, and Entune Audio Plus for a more premium experience. However, even if you don't choose the 50th Anniversary Special Edition, you'll be happy to know that there's plenty of features that will be coming standard with all new Toyota Corolla models, including Toyota Safety Sense-P and a rear backup camera. So, if you'd like to learn more about the new 2017 Toyota Corolla and all its innovative features, feel free to visit us at Steet Toyota of Johnstown to speak with our expert sales associates and take a test drive today!

A few days ago, we shared that Toyota is reportedly putting the Toyota FJ Cruiser's replacement, the TJ Cruiser into production. That post got a LOT of hilarious responses. Most of which, were not good. We're curious, what do you think of this? We personally are partial to the original FJ Cruiser look. But is this the look of the future? What type of demographic are they trying to appeal to here? We just don't know! Picture from https://www.motor1.com/news/366801/toyota-tj-cruiser-production-rumor/
