PhillyCarShare adds cars, 55,000th member

PhillyCarShare will be adding three new car models shortly: The Acura TL, Scion xD, and Toyota Corolla. The xD and Corolla are meant to temporarily replace hybrids leaving the fleet, and the TL will be a new addition to the upscale line that PhillyCarShare has.

Clayton Lane, AICP and Deputy Executive Director of PhillyCarShare, says that the Scion and Toyota will both be priced in their lowest tier. The Acura will be priced in its highest tier which currently has cars such as the BMW 328i and Lexus IS 250. All three models will only have a handful across the city, at least for now. Initial locations have not been announced yet.

On the subject of PhillyCarShare, Lane also confirmed that PCS signed up its 55,000th member this week. This comes shortly after news of their 50,000th member being signed up last month.
