Car Review- Toyota Prius c

By T. Strong

We are always happy to answer the call of our automotive friends to fly across the United States to check out their newest products so when Toyota calls, The Industry Cosign answers.  Our recent trip to La Jolla, California proved that much thought has gone into creating the Prius c with many changes and upgrades added since the first generation Prius launched in the US in 2000. This includes the fact that the Prius c is lighter and more fuel efficient than its predecessor.

On this trip, we were able to take the Prius c for a spin.  The letter “c” for this model represents “city” and who better a target audience than younger, eco-conscious buyers? Bob Carter, Group VP of U.S. Sales for Toyota says that, “The Prius c is targeted at young singles and couples and is the gateway vehicle for the Prius Family.” And, with the Prius c One starting out at just under $19K, this is an affordable car that offers maximum use of interior space, the best MPG (53) of any car without a plug and one heck of a driving experience. The Prius c offers a single grade with four equipment levels with price points as follows:

Chris Brown’s Grammy Twitter Rant Shows He Still Doesn’t Get It.

After winning a 2012 Grammy Award for Best R&B album and making a triumphant return to the Grammy stage three years after the brutal 2009 beating of ex-girlfriend Rihanna, Chris Brown and his Team Breezy fans took to Twitter to remind us all why we need not forget he’s a hot-tempered abuser who desperately needs to be on someone’s couch, working through his anger issues.

Shortly after winning his Grammy and performing twice at the star-studded ceremony, Brown tweeted: HATE ALL U WANT BECUZ I GOT A GRAMMY Now! That’s the ultimate F*** OFF!” Most likely realizing that this wasn’t the best way to convince people he deserved his comeback or Grammy, someone deleted that tweet and Brown tried again: “IM BACK SO WATCH MY BaCK as I walk away from all this negativity #teambreezygrammy.”

Meanwhile, Twitter was abuzz with fans saying they’d gladly let Chris Brown beat them, seeing as he’s so hot and sexy and can sing and dance. I’m not making this up. This screenshot came from my girls over at Clutch.

125 FRANCO’S BLVD

Friday, February 10th, in Harlem USA (NYC), I had the distinct pleasure of meeting popular artist, Franco the Great and I also viewed many pieces of his art. If you’ve ever been to Harlem, particularly 125th Street or if you’ve ever seen some of the security gates of storefronts from the stores located on 125th Street, then you have seen his artistry. Known as ‘Harlem’s Picasso’, his artwork is being displayed and sold at the State Office Building, located, naturally, on 125th Street (163 West 125th- 2nd Floor) until February 29th. If you happen to be in the New York area and you enjoy art, I suggest you haed there to see some of his masterpieces and if you would like to own one, for the right price, as T La Rock said, ‘It’s Yours!’ Down below, I’ve included some of the shots I took at the gallery.

Shouts to Cynamin Jones….. And also to Ms. Drama, who was in the house
