All good things must end, and such is the case with Cleone and her time at Markquart Toyota. On May 30, 2014, we will say “goodbye” to Cleone, who has been a product specialist with us for 12 years, as she is retiring.
Before joining the Markquart Toyota team, Cleone, an Eau Claire native, owned and operated a women’s clothing store in Vail, Colorado. She appropriately named it “Cleone’s” and ran it for 13 years. Her love for her family brought her back to the Chippewa Valley in 2002, which is also when she began working at Markquart.
Throughout her time at Markquart, Cleone says she has met many new people and made new friends. She has thoroughly enjoyed her time here at Markquart; and will miss her customers the most. “It’s been a wonderful experience, filled with wonderful people,” said Cleone. “I really appreciate that.”
While there will be lots of maxin’ and relaxin’ happening during Cleone’s retirement, she will still be the busy body that she has been all these years. Aside from keeping active through playing tennis, rollerblading and working out, Cleone plans to take care of her 90-year-old mother, volunteer at a local charity and tend to her garden.
Thank you for all that you’ve done for Markquart Toyota over the years, Cleone. We wish you the best in your retirement! You will be missed!

Packages
Entune comes in four different grades that vary by Toyota model. Entune Audio is the base package that features phonebook accessibility and MP3/WMA music streaming through a compatible smartphone using Bluetooth. The best part about these features is that they can be accessed through Entune’s Advanced Voice Recognition technology. Make hands-free calls, find your friend’s phone number and address, or pick your favorite tunes while keeping your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. USB, iPod and auxiliary hookups allow you to access that killer playlist you have on your smartphone or flash drive so you can take the party with you, wherever you go.
The features found in the base grade of Entune Audio are found in the other three grades of Entune. Entune Audio Plus is a step up from Entune Audio because it also comes with commercial-free SiriusXM Radio, and HD radio, traffic and weather information. Keep up to date with the latest traffic reports when you’re driving home from work and easily access the weather when you feel an impromptu trip to the beach coming on.
Apps

Entune App Suite offers you a variety of mobile applications and data services accessible via the Entune touch-screen in your Toyota. By syncing your compatible smartphone device to Entune using Bluetooth, you’ll have access to Bing, iHeartRadio, OpenTable and other great apps with just the touch of your finger while on the open road.

Plus, with your compatible smartphone connected to Entune through Bluetooth, you have the luxury of selecting an address from the contacts in your phone and applying it to the map.
Audio

It’s been three years since the Toyota Camry has had a makeover. The 2015 Toyota Camry, available this fall at Markquart Toyota located off Highway 53 between Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls, will cause you to do a double-take. Sporty on the outside and luxury on the inside the new 2015 Camry is anything but ordinary.
|
The first thing you’ll notice about the 2015 Camry is its wider front grille. Combine that with its sharp hood lines and front bumper, and you get an all-new Camry that is aggressive and athletic. It may be aggressive but the Camry is still smooth as ever. The turn signals are integrated with the LED daytime running lamps, the headlights sweep into the new front fenders and from the back, you’ll see that the taillights are tapered. |
 |
Under the hood, the 2015 Camry remains the same with the 2.5L I4 engine or the 3.5L V6. Both are 6-speed automatics, and will get you the great gas mileage that Camry’s are known for with an EPA-estimated 25/35 mpg city/highway for the I4 and 21/30 mpg city/highway for the V6. Plus, changes to Camry’s body structure give it more rigidity on the road, making for a better response rate and more enjoyable drive.
|
While the exterior of the all-new Camry screams sporty, the interior has an air of luxury to it. High quality, soft-touch materials can be found throughout the cabin. The center stack has a more technology-inspired look to it and even has available a new storage bin that is a wireless charging pad for smartphones. With the 2015 Camry comes a new trim level, XSE. This edition comes with 18-inch wheels, firmer suspension and a unique electric power steering system to make it the sportiest Camry to date. No matter the trim level, the 2015 Camry has new available safety features, such as Lane Departure Alert, Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control and more. The 2015 Toyota Camry may not get here until this fall but that doesn’t mean we can’t get stoked for its arrival! Sporty on the outside, luxury on the inside and new available safety features make this new Camry anything but ordinary. Stop by Markquart Toyota or call us today to find out more about the 2015 Camry. |
