24, Jun 2010

Toyota’s top test driver, Hiromu Naruse, died yesterday after crashing a Lexus LFA prototype into a BMW while testing in Germany. The two test drivers in the BMW were also seriously injured.

Toyota and Daihatsu had just launched their second generation Passo and Boon/Sirion. When will we see the Perodua MyVi equivalent? And also the Subaru Justy?

Toyota Prius Tourer

17, Nov 2009

The latest bit of speculation comes from the Yomiuri newspaper in Japan (via Green Car Advisor) and says that Toyota is considering building a Prius sport wagon or a Prius SUV about 12 months from now, maybe using lithium-ion batteries (despite Toyota’s public pronouncements).

Subaru FS-86

29, Oct 2009

The FT-86 was co-developed by Toyota and Subaru, with a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder boxer engine from Fuji Heavy Industries. Now, a Toyota with the excellent four pot turbo from Subaru might be an excellent thing for the world’s largest automaker, but how can this help Subaru?

Because I was working on this car based on the Toyota Auris. Which I’ve obviously failed. I tried to make it look closely to the much-loved AE85 Levin produced [...]

Toyota Sai

3, Oct 2009

… the upcoming second dedicated hybrid from the Japanese automaker bearing the Toyota name will be simply named the Toyota Sai. The Sai goes on sale in Japan on October 20th and slots in between the Prius and the Crown hybrid. Featuring a more powerful engine than the Prius, the Sai will look similar to [...]

Perodua Vois

25, Aug 2009

Okay there’s a story behind these renderings, and that name. Remember how SEAT recycles the Audi A4 (B7) as their Exeo? I was just thinking, the first generation Toyota Vios is a decent looking car, certainly less mammal-like than the current Vios. So why not let Perodua recycle it, swap the ‘i’ and ‘o’, call [...]
